Springtime in ViennaLiving the good Life

The Tram stops here
Opposite side of the street
at tram #58 Dommayer stop
Alt-Hietzing


Magnolia Trees
In a shaded frontyard,
some blossoms are still lit by the sun -
magnolias in sunny gardens have lost
already most of their blossom finery
after weeks of brightening city streets and parks


Tulips at the intersection of
Hietzinger Hauptstraße, Lainzer Straße
and Dommayer Gasse, steps from the tram stop


Across the tulip bed,
Café Dommayer, where Johann Strauss
gave his first concert in October of 1844


Wisteria along the one block
we had the walk to reach our lunch destination


Espresso Macchiato, anyone?
A great end to a leisurely outdoor lunch
of grilled fish and spring vegetables

Schönbrunn's western gate
