Sundays in my City

Posted by May at 6:34 PM
Beginning this week, we have to visit the neighboring village Gemünden over the weekends, thanks to our daughter's ballet lessons. It is a beautiful 20 minute ride. Notice that the railway track runs parallel to the country road.


In between the tracks do change position. The kids get pretty excited when there is a train up close.


and finally it disappears.

Once the lessons were complete, we walked around the village. It was very charming and nice.


Pretty soon, a little bridge caught our attention.

and see what caught my eye. I loved the reflections formed on the water.

There were pretty ducks swimming around waiting for a feed. 

The moment bread crumbs were strewn, there was a mad scramble amongst the feathered friends.


We wound up our outing with some Eis( Ice cream) at a parlor. This is a Heidelbeere Becher (Blueberry Ice cream). I must say that after winter, we not only look forward to sunshine and flowers, but also an ice cream!!!

Wishing everybody a happy week of sunshine!!!!

    I like that you captured a tiny sun flare in the ice cream topping. Makes the sundae look magical.

    You're a great photographer. The colors are so vivid. I'm especially drawn to the last picture. Thanks for this special tour.

    What beautiful pictures! I remember,so well, my wonderful visit to France for my 40th birthday ( I've been back many times since) - that time was most special because we drove from Paris to the Lohr Valley, then to Bordeaux, Biarritz and Bayonne, then across to the Mediterranean after visiting Carcassone. Once we had spent a few days on the French Riviera, we headed back to Paris. It was such a fabulous journey!

    Looking at these photos makes me wish I was there, too. :) I really love that photo of the bridge. There's something about bridges that's so... beautiful. Maybe it's the arc. LOVE that ice cream shot!

    Thank you so much for your very sweet and kind words about my photos, May. =)

    It's all good and dandy until you taunt me with that closing shot of a sundae, now it's all I can think about. Sundaes in my City takes on a whole new meaning.
