Cherry Blossoms
Vienna, city of cherry trees,
wherever one walks, there's one in bloom,
for weeks on end, or so it seems

Gorgeous spring and equally gorgeous Conchita Wurst! I'm terribly, terribly homesick...
ReplyDeleteOh, I empathise with your feelings, homesickness is something I am very familiar with!
DeleteI hope you will be able to see Vienna again, soon.
I love that first shot, absolutely beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThank you! I got it just in time before the first raindrops started falling! ;-)
DeleteThat's a great artwork with Conchita, and I love the blossoming trees (my allergies not so much, but who cares :))
ReplyDeleteIt's a many-layered symbol, isn't it?
DeleteAllergies, oh yes, and you would understand why I was disappointed that yesterday there were only a few raindrops falling on a city literally awash in pollen. I sneezed my way through town yesterday. ;-)
So much beauty, Merisi, but like you and Mersad, the allergies do put in an appearance this time of year, but I love it anyway!! Hope you're enjoying a great week!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty in your shots. I am confused about that woman,s picture?
ReplyDeleteIt's Austrian artist Concita Wurst. I'll have to read up on it, but I'd guess she'll singing this year's Life Ball Song, which marks the official opening of the Ball.
DeleteYou must know this charity event has raised a great amount of money for HIV and AIDS research.
Love all the photos. How wonderful to be there in the spring, allergies aside!
ReplyDeleteAmazing images of spring, love the cherry blossoms!
ReplyDeleteThe blossoms are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Nature has made an already beautiful place even more magnificent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful .. such wonderful images
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring has burst forth in a riot of blossoms. I never knew about the cherry trees before.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful photos of spring!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo of Magnolia Blossoms is stunning!

ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy and appreciate reading them.
Cheers,
