Appearance of the Ice Princess at the Venetian Fair Ludwigsburg

Venetian Fair Ludwigsburg 2012

from the 7th to the 9th September 2012

One of my favourite characters at the market place of Ludwigsburg:

The Ice Princess (as I called her).

granddaughter and grandmother - white and black - an incredible and perfect team!

This is what I call a really brilliant grandmother... ;-)

Later a marvellous unicorn complemented the black & white duo  - to form a "trio infernale", err, a "trio fantastico"!

Cool duo while we had sunshine and temperatures around 30°C during the festival!

Rosenblütenfest Creglingen

 

rose bloom festival at Creglingen

 

The town of Creglingen, situated in the lovely valley of the Tauber between Bad Mergentheim and Rothenburg, in the north of the German state Baden-Württemberg, celebrated its 7th rose bloom festival recent weekend.

You were able to find and take pictures of hunderts of different roses in the rose gardens as well as at the stalls of the market gardens.

I restricted myself to post just some of the rose blooms I took yesterday, otherwise you'll have to look at too much photos today... ;-)

Anna, the official Rosenkönigin / Queen of Roses 2012

as beautifully and fragrantly as the flowers she represents. 

Besides all the roses the rose bloom festival offered several other products made from the rosehip or the rose petals.

See you next year on the 8th rose bloom festival at Creglingen!?

Garden Festival at Langenburg Castle

"Fuerstliche Gartentage. Spaetsommer auf Schloss Langenburg" is the original name of this great festival. Enjoy watching the pictures...
