  2. Yes I agree. I love the frosty leaf.
    We had a clear blue sky today too. Probably a frost tonight. Hope so. Makes a change from the everlasting drizzle.

    Thank you. They air was chilly this morning, but I didn't expect frost in the Liechtenstein gardens. I hadn't noticed any while walking down the nearby Strudlhof Steps.

    lorenzothellama:
    Let's hope for a clear night, beautifully frosted fall landscape and blue sky tomorrow in your part of the world!

    Plucky little flower, considering that temperatures do now fall to or near zero during nights. I think it is a stray clematis. Ginestra is also blooming nearby.

  4. Merisi,
    Thank you for you comment and the funny picture! Hehehe. I am already satisfied with my new layout design, and I love the pink-grey combination ;)

  6. I love blue flowers. I have spent a small fortune accumulating porcelain table ware in the Ice Rose design of Wedgewood (now extinct).

  8. Blue Lavender! I think I've only ever seen purple.
    Not a clue!

  9. Doesn't that lavender know it's winter tomorrow?
    I painted the bedroom at the country house this week - "blanket blue".
    With earthy tones it looks awesome.

    That leaf looks so beautiful.
    I love a frost.
    It's as close as we get to snow!

  10. No doubt you were taking a stroll around your Schonbrune Palace gardens while munching on a a bit of Viennoisserie - a strudel...

  11. TEA:
    You are welcome! :-)
    (Dear readers,
    Tea is one of the Fairies, over at Demel's, click on her name, and have a look yourself!)

    MELISSA:
    Thank you!
    It was such an unexpected sight there, on a chilly morning, with December just around the corner.

    MAALIE:
    Blue Rose,
    interesting. I wonder why they chose to paint a blue rose. Do you know anything about the story?

    SONIA:
    Thank you! :-)

    CREAM:
    There's no clue, really,
    in this post, just the season's wonders. :-)

  12. FREE FALLING:
    Oh, I'd love to have a blue room!
    That lavender is a splendid sight, I shall show more pictures.

    PARIS BREAKFAST:
    Carol, the Strudlhof Steps are not exactly near Schönbrunn! :-)
    No pastry, just me and my camera, walking through the chilly morning air, having a jolly good time.

  17. The frosted leaf photo looks like a couple of photos I took and photoshopped slightly. Check them out here http://www.flickr.com/photos/didrooglie/73868536/in/set-72057594057096304/ and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/didrooglie/320592451/in/set-72057594057096304/
