Spring Came Anyway

Walking outside Sunday afternoon in the adjacent park, I could see that Spring had arrived while I was sheltering in place.

Signage Seen on Tuesday’s Walk

First time I’ve ever seen this sign.

Clearly the residents are pet lovers.

It’s faded but it says-

DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS

June Gallery of Roses in Berlin

The first photo a rose bouquet I purchased from the Winterfeldplatz Market. The other roses seen while walking.

Rose season in full bloom.

At all stages of blossoming, they are lovely to see. When I went to find rose quotations to accompany the photos there were over three hundred to choose from including the mention of thorns, of course.

Decided on a single most well known quotation spoken by Juliet but I’m sure more thoughts on roses will come to your own mind.

(And on a side note Kiez Eis https://kiezeis.de/ on Winterfeld Strasse is featuring Rosewasser Ice Cream in addition to the rhubarb and asparagus flavors I’ve mentioned recently.)

“WHAT’S IN A NAME? THAT WHICH WE CALL A ROSE, BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.”

Juliet– William Shakespeare

White Flowers Found on Clintonville Walk

A Six Word Saturday

The nice thing about white flowers is they can be seen even at dusk.

Through a Neighbor’s Fence

Walking to book club (to discuss The Madonnas of Leningrad), I came across this single blossom which had poked through the slats of my neighbor’s fence. The setting sun illuminated the new green leaves. Unretouched Photo.
