The First and The Last

First rose - a sign of summer is already around the corner?

The last buds of Azaleas - Spring time is leaving us soon

So many pictures left - # 5 Flowers

One Year Blogging today!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU my Blog!

It was a GREAT year together. I had fun, you had fun - and together we got a lot of new wonderful friends this year!

I want to say "Thank you" to all my friends and visitors out there, who made it possible that my blog is what it is today: a fun place to share my photography and some moments in my life, down here in my little paradise.

Let's celebrate friendship for another year, or two...!

Water lillies are one of the most painted flowers in pictures beside the roses, I guess. I like the simple geometric pattern in this flower and their brilliant colors.

Ist sie nicht wunderschoen, diese einfache und bescheidene Wasserlilie? Ich kann es verstehen, dass viele Kuenstler immer wieder zum Pinsel greifen um diese herrliche Wasserpflanze zu malen.

People say, the queen of all flowers is the rose! And this beauty queen I have captured in the rose garden of the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida.

Die Koenigin der Blumen ist die Rose, sagt man. Besonders wenn sie so schoen ist wie diese hier, ihre offenen Blueten der Sonne entgegenstreckend. Fotografiert im Rosengarten des Ringling Museums in Sarasota, Florida.

I never promised you a rose garden..... but here is my true promise: Come and take a walk between the sweet smelling roses and sit a while in the Gazebo, look around, listen to the birds singing and enjoy this wonderful Sunday morning... but of course, you have to be in this spot in Florida!

Komm und wandere in diesem wunderschoenen Rosengarten, atme den suessen Duft und verweile ein bisschen im Rondell unter freiem Himmel, setz dich auf die Bank dort und lass deine Seele baumeln an diesem schoenen Sonntag Morgen!
