Beautiful sky

In the beginning I felt we were living
I felt so alive under beautiful skies
Oh tonight slip in and out of life
Yet feeling so alive
Lost in the sea of light
Oh no please don't let me go
no please don't leave me here
to grieve innocent times
Reamonn "Beautiful Sky"

Since we have such a beautiful weather last time here in Tyrol, we had of course to make use of it and go for a ride on our bikes.


Birds were singing in the trees, the happy sun was shining in a marvelleous blue sky, it was finally warm again, our heart were jumping with joy... spring, spring, spring! yeah!




i think these two pictures - the one above and the one below - are very akin!

Springfever

The month of May was come,
when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom,
and to bring forth fruit;
for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May,
in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover,
springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds.
For it giveth unto all lovers courage,
that lusty month of May.
Thomas Malory

Animals!

Hi there! I hope you have spent beautiful and relaxing Easter holidays!


Animals are great! Not only the Easter bunny... That's why we thought we should go to the zoo here in Innsbruck.


these are sleeping huddling beavers. aren't they cuddly?


poor raven! he was very bored. i wished i could have set him free...


the wildcat. behaved almost like my own kitty ;)


another big cat!


little wild pigs! they were soooo cute!


i think i have been hit by an elk! those three were sponsored by IKEA and were called Billy, Knut and something like another piece of furniture.


the wolves were all lazy - good guys, haha! have yourself a good time!

Memories...

...this is when i raise a glass thinking back ;)

Sitting in the sun

"And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong.
In the light you will find the road. You will find the road"
(In the light, Led Zeppelin)


Well, well! I'm so glad, that the days are getting brighter and warmer. People - like me - are sitting in the sun, enjoying its warmth. And did you notice that people's mood is much better now than it was when it was cold?


Here's a little insider-gag to improve your mood (if it isn't good yet!):

Time for a riddle

Pssst! This time i have sort of riddle for you. "A riddle, a riddle", some of you may shout. Well, let's see if you can make out where i stranded this time ;)


You see, i met with a hardly vested gentleman - ok this is the point where Vero is not allowed to guess anymore! =^+^=


Eh, i felt like a queen there - but damn, where is my crown and my royal household?!


all right, here he is: my king! (of my heart)


Isn't this a view for a king? - Or rather for a queen since it's the "Fraueninsel" and this means Lady's Island ;)





...And should you not already have figured out, where in the world this lovely place is, check this out: about Chiemsee

My new pet

Since last time my friend Vero gave me an Aquapet as a present, which was at first sight only pink and annoying, it became my sweet pet since i do not have one here in Innsbruck cuz my cat lives with my father in Salzburg. I named her "Lola". And to be true these toys are a real waste of time - but lovely anyhow.

Now i found, that one can creat one's own Aquapet online. Which i did of course and (to Vero), doesn't it look like Otto? *ggg*

Btw: he's a great fan of Beethoven *OMG*

Poetry for you

Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.

Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú...
( Words and music by Juan Carlos Calderón)

(Translation:)
Like a promise, you are, you are
Like a summer morning
Like a smile, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
All my hope, you are, you are
Like fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are; like that, like that, you are

You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread

Like my poem, you are, you are
Like a guitar in the night
My whole horizon you are, you are; like that, like that, you are

You are...

Get to France

As you might already guess from the title, we made a little trip to France! First we spent two nights in Paris (no, NOT one night in Paris, what a pitty!)

by the banks of the Seine at night:

Notre Dame:

Birds are evil:

already preparing for retirement:

funny person watching the traffic in Montmatre. i couldn't actually find out what he was doing exactly - besides reading the newspaper... if you have a hint for me, tell me ;)

the interior of our hotel in Montmatre, next to Moulin Rouge. it looked a bit like a maison de plaisir and our tiny room had a huge mirror right next to the bed... *ggg*

one of the mills in Montmatre:

Montmatre:

an ad in a metro station for some coffee. it was so funny that i had to buy it. guess what, it works - at least, i do NOT look like that guy after drinking it, hehe!

the Eiffel tower and me (in memoriam of my bonnet, which i lost in Rennes...)

have a break, have a biiig break... after all we're here for holidays and not for fun:

the cathedral of Saint Malo, Brittany!

a breizh arrangement ;)

the port of Saint Malo:

the quai at low tide:

due to the warm weather we even fancied taking a bath at the outdoor swimming pool:

view from the castle to Saint Malo intra muros:

taking a rest in the sun (listening to breizh music):

there's three french words, i will remember for all my life: "La mer mont!"

...this means "the sea is rising!" if you ever happen to hear this, get yourself immediately to the main land, or you will become very wet or even drown...

me in the morning (very tired) at high tide:

the medieval city of Rennes:

the cathedral of Rennes:

the clouds over Paris in the evening:

bye-bye and au-revoir France!
