A Picture Perfect Wednesday In Burgenland.

Finding the spots of beauty and colour among the browns of Autumn.


A rose and only the rose can look so powerful and nice. This rose shrub was the only spot of bright colour in this garden. Somehow it has the perfect setting, planting itself in such a way as to showcase the blue skies and vineyards behind it.
This is obviously man made, but it reminded me of an ice cream cone when I first saw it. Isn't it amazing how all four plants have grown in unison and with such precision?
This cosmos was such a nice surprise when I walked passed it. How cheerful and splendid in colour. The greens beneath it are like fans at a concert with arms swaying to the music of their idol...A flower to brighten your day. Just perfect.
You know, I walk passed this birch tree almost everyday and each time it enthralls me with its beauty. At times it shows more white or rather more green which then makes the white bark more obvious. A nice cheerful serenade along my walk.
Same birch tree set in context. This row of trees must have been planted decades ago with great foresight.
While we were cleaning one of the Kellerstöckls, I stumbled across this bunch of daisies at the entrance of the wine cellar. Even though it was cold, a cold enhanced by a biting wind, it found the sunlight and stretched towards it. At least that is how it looked to me.
Lavender is a soothing plant. Medicinal, beautiful and full of aroma. Lavender also keeps its head up during most of the year and hibernating for the other part.
Here, the lavender is planted in front of a romantic & cozy Kellerstöckl and the wooden frame fits it perfectly.
