...more, more, more harbingers of spring!


On Sunday we had sunshine - Yeah!

And more and more we can find harbingers of spring,
although we still have winter temperatures in large parts of Germany.


On Saturday we visited the "Esslinger Garden Days", an enjoyable event in the pedestrian area of the old town of Esslingen, a city in the Stuttgart Region of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.



Several exhibitors presented their products around the topics garden and gardening, among them several flower shops and market gardens with a presentation of the first early flowering plants and flowers.


Pansies in little bottles, tulips and willow catkins were my favourites to take photos from.
But mainly I had my hands in the jacket pockets to keep them warm.

 

At home I took some photos of the almond branches we brought with us from our Easter excursion,
in the meanwhile the buds opened their white and pink petals.


Enjoy your workweek!
Enjoy springtime!

Behind the moon gate...


Dennenlohe mansion, Middle Franconia, Germany (not Japan!)


You do not really expect such a delightful prospect in the middle of Franconia, do you?


This extraordinary Japanese style garden - and many other theme gardens in his park - is a project of the landlord, baron Suesskind of Dennenlohe mansion. Since 1990 he has shaped this great mansion garden and there's still a lot to do for the future.


I could have spent hours with taking photos (and indeed I did) in the park, although the weather could have been a little better (= sunnier).
