More Peony Dreams in Pink and White...

I just could not hold back some more images of these beautiful blooms. The time for their glory is just too short so it is invaluable that we have the techniques to keep their beauty forever - thanks to photography....

Peony Dreams....

Peonies belong to my absolutely favourite blooms. Not only the forms and colours of their blooms are so beautifully romantic but their perfume is pure heaven. I could stand there for hours and bury my nose in their petals forever...

A Wall Creeping Beauty in Pink...

Did I tell you that I love Clematis? You rarely see them here and I don't know why. They just need full sun but the climate should not be the problem. Strange.
There are so many variations but I did find only 3 or 4 different versions. Again strange. They make such a lovely climber, their leaves look so delicate and their blossoms are just lovely. Maybe I have to look around more...

Lime Trees in Bloom...

Lime trees in Munich are in full bloom now and the wind carries their perfume everywhere. It arrives in little clouds full of scent even on my balcony on the 13th floor. How I love this scent! It is heavy, sometimes nearly austere because it is so strong.

I wonder how often people look at these trees which are so common here and really appreciate this lovely smell and their beautiful little blossoms. They ARE beautiful, hanging in real clusters from their stems, each of them carrying a little crown made of filaments...

The Feeling of Heat...

Isn't it interesting that we immediately associate a ripening corn field with heat and warm summer breezes? Even if we only see a picture, we instantly reckon to feel that warmth...
