Vienna Daily: I Spy Sunday

Hi everyone! Thanks for your comments but Today's Flowers post is below this one =)

6 Nov 08

Still from the same garden from yesterday. I am not sure if these are daisies too but the flowers have layers of petals and were smaller...I'll surely post them next week on TF meme.

Since its November, I was surprised to see this bee still gathering food. Its hind legs surely is full of harvest for the day.

I got an award from Steven of Cavite Daily Photo. Thanks Steve. Along with receiving this award, one should pass it to 6 KreativBloggers. There are some of my favorite sites that have received the award already so I won't be passing this one to them anymore. I looked down my list and here they are:

My award list:

1. Chuck of Seattle Daily Photo - a pro photographer who has exceptional eye for details

2. Chica of Photo Projectz - a busy mom of 3 who always has time for creativity on the side

3. Thesserie - the rich girl from Holland who takes photos amazingly

4. Ces - a foodie and more, whose shots are always mouth-watering

5. Kylie of My Digital Life - also like Chica and I, a mom of three, she is the best designer/digiscrapper out there

6. Uel of Creative Vision Photography - Events photographer with a twist

Have a nice week everyone!

Today, 28 of September marks the Elections to the Austrian National Assembly...On campaign poster is Die Grüne's Party leader, Alexander Van der Bellen (photo taken from the bus with phone camera). During the duration of this month long campaign, I have been thinking who he resembles as he does remind me of someone famous...until it hit me, it is former NBA Chicago Bulls coach and current LA Lakers coach Phil Jackson. =D Only with darker and more hair...

Anyway, since its election day, I spied on the police who were deployed around the city(phone camera from the train)...I have no idea yet who won, but around 6pm today, the SPÖ party has the biggest percentage of votes...

Have a nice week eveyrone!

I think my fascination with ladybugs has rubbed on to my kids so much...or it could be the other way around. They would come to me excitedly when they see one, just like this one, a yellow-orange, 18-spotted ladybird (Myrrha octodecimguttata) which I could be wrong about since most 18-spotted ladybugs are brown with white spots.

Have a nice week eveyrone!

It's very seldom, if not at all, that I post a photo of myself anywhere in the web, one is because I am always behind the camera...and I'd joke the camera would surely break down if I'm in front!

So for just one time, here's a photo of me (in red) with my friend at the Karlsplatz station.

Yoroshiku!!!!

Those mirrors interestingly has different demographic information about Vienna. This mirror reads: "(Those who) Fell in love in Vienna today: 292416. " I am not sure where they get the statistics though.

Since its Sunday, I went spying too. I spy on my daughter's photo session! lol. I forgot to ask the photographer's name since he is in a bind to finish so many sessions for this shoe casting....

This photo is courtesy of hubby, he was out yesterday and chanced upon the Rainbow parade. A street parade showcasing this and more about being gay and lesbian.

That's it for today's spying job...=D

Update: Spain won with 1 point and yes Germany scored 0.... =D

Being almost at the city center, I was surprised to see that there was a big garden just beside the Belvedere. As in early times, the palace used to be situated at defence of Vienna, it must have been typical for it to be surrounded by greeneries. Now it is part of the city's 3rd district.

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.

The garden is divided into two, the alpine garden and this part in photo is where lots of flowers, plants and trees are identified. It is quite a hidden refuge for tired feet and sleepy eyes. =D

It seems I spied on lots of crows at the Belvedere!

I decided to post a flowershop instead of a food store since they are big and fit into groceries category rather than 'store.'

----

Even on a rainy morning, the flowershop at the corner blossoms with beauty. I especially like the older woman in this photo with 2 cups of coffee (or hot chocolate or tea). This corner shop is always a lovely sight to behold.

Below, the shop on a sunny day.

And since its a Sunday, I also have an entry for I Spy Sunday.

A wasp on the floor, perhaps getting tired of hopping from flower to flower.

Today is City Daily Photo's Theme Day, check out other corner shops around the World! Keep in mind though that due to time differences, others may not be up yet.

While walking by this row of trees, I spy a little girl spying on me.

I spy...a Sp(y)der!

I spy a spider hanging down a low bush. There were small flowers planted near the bush that I had to be careful not to step on them.

Post about photos that you took in a spying manner. Photos of wild animals while hiding behind a tree, a bush or photoscoping a bird from afar...a couple being sweet while you hide behind the benches, photos of hidden objects that you happen to see. Photos that you need to give extra effort to just to be able to achieve a good shot...photos you think fits 'I Spy something ____'

I guess this is better than having a weekly theme so everyone can post any subject as long as it is a photo they spied on...
