It's Springtime for Hamburg and Germany...

Photo journal, as promised!

SPRINGTIME MEANS...

Enchantingly lit glens with lovely little flowers,


Young vines beginning their Springtime climb up craggy bark,


Quiet and peaceful moss-covered clearings in the lake-side woods,


Duck families giving you the eye and waddling away if you get too close,


Bees collecting pollen from the sweet-soap-smelling blossoms,


Small sail boats and canoes gliding across the sparkling lake...


...Controlled by little old men with remotes,


Golden blossoms dipping their faces to glimpse their reflection in the lazy stream,


Fragrantly blooming trees framing the lake as the world comes back to life,


Small ponds that offer their surface as a reflection of God's beautiful creation,


Beautiful pictures of the gorgeous world God created for us,


Sidonie enjoying her sandals and spaghetti straps in the Springtime sun,
 

Picnics indoors and out,


The return of the fair and fun times with friends,


Sausage houses...


...Some of which offer seldom-seen and often puzzling vegetarian cuisine,


A medieval village section where real-live bagpipe players can be endured/er...experienced,


And, of course, no Springtime day at the fair would be complete without Disco Balls, Platform Shoes, and an Afro Wig!


Well, hope you all enjoyed this photo-look at the arrival of Spring here in HH!  Stay tuned for more to come on Easter Weekend and my excursion to Denmark.  Send me an email or leave a comment to let me know how you're doing!


P.S. Ten points to the first person to correctly guess the song from which I've ripped off my title! ;) P.P.S Sidonie is excluded as we've already sung it together with the new lyrics!

Bis Bald!

Am I the first one to guess your title from THE PRODUCERS? Or am I just cooler than everyone else to post it here? :)

All's well in Orlando, but we miss you! Love the photos; gorgeous! Finishing up I DO! I DO! this weekend, then we get into GYPSIES, TRAMPS & THIEVES at the Winter Park Playhouse and a cabaret I'm doing at the Orlando Cabaret Festival. Then Fringe is upon us! Craziness to think it's then been a year since LWW!

Florida weather has been so beautiful this week that is almost makes you forget about the craziness of the heat and humidity the other 8 months! All of the windows are open and the breeze is making my kitties so very happy...plus, lots of little lizards are running about, and they're all about stalking them through the windows!

Glad that HH is treating you well! Hugs and kisses to you both!
