Spring has sprung in Kurpark
OMG!! Kurpark is absolutely beautiful! As I took my daily walk this morning, I thought I should share the park once again with you to show off the new life and colors. Everyone seemed to be out to walk, run, bike, sit on benches or blankets, drink beer and wine at the garden cafe, just enjoying the colors.
The Magnolia trees are my favorite... the colors of white and pink are so creamy and pure. The pinks are truly a sight to be seen.
And "yellows" are everywhere...
.the Daffodils are open and welcoming everyone to the park along with the Forsythia's....
they are also in full bloom... we have some of these in our backyard.
On my way back through the park, I stood under this canopy of flowering almond branches just laden with blooms. >>>>>>
The willows and all the trees are just beginning to show that soft "Spring green" color.
Even the paddle boats and row boats are ready and waiting to be used. Emily and Katie can't wait to come back this summer and use the paddleboat. Of course there is talk of 1 paddle boat + $3 bottle of Rheingau wine = real German park experience.
Speaking of the real German park experience, this is the Kurpark Wine Garten where every Sunday afternoon beginning May 1st, live jazz bands perform. We hear from the locals that everyone from grandma's, grandpa's, newborns and dogs of all types will be out enjoying the music. Nice way to spend a Sunday.
Hope you enjoyed the botanical tour of Kurpark. This will be my last post for awhile as I am heading back home to South Dakota for about 10 weeks to work at Medary Acres Greenhouse once again. Pete will keep you posted with his adventures.
For now, Tschus!!
