Big Sky



Growing up,
this was my "sheltering sky",
where I learned to love watching the clouds
during the day and in the evening,
and the rising moon and the stars at night.

Alpine Garden
Belvedere Palace

In 1803, Europe's first alpine garden
was created in the extensive park area of Belvedere castle following a suggestion of Archduke Johann.
Today, more than 4000 plants represent the diverse flora of the alpine ecosystem.

Time’s Inexorable Flow



My dad and my son
On the river Inn in Upper Austria,
the river that runs through our lives.

I took the title of this post
from Don Willmott's review
of the Robert Redford movie
"A River Runs Through It",
a favorite
of this daughter and sister of fly fishermen.

Maria Theresia Rose




Black brush drawing,
overpainted with hunting green – this pattern was a true innovation when it was first unveiled. Created for a table service that Empress Maria Theresia obtained to decorate an Imperial hunting lodge, this pattern from the t18h century is now one of Augarten’s best known and most popular
.

June Morning in the Kitchen



After eight in the morning
Thursday, June 7, 2007

Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious.
At eight each morning I have got a date,
To take my plunge 'round the Empire State.
You'll admit it's not the berries,
In a building that's so tall;
There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss;
Get thousands a week just for crooning like this:
Life is just a bowl of . . . aw, nuts!
So live and laugh at it all!
