springtime in Germany

Meadow
 

Finally figured out that other photo app. that everyone has been using lately, thanks to Swirly and her great pictures from Berlin. If you thought you loved camera bag, oh you just wait... Here are my hipstamatic {am now in love with this new app too} photos form Germany.

1. While this photo app does enrich the colors, Germany is the most luscious green, green, everywhere green. It’s all I could do not to stop and start painting, but seeing as how I left my paints and brushes in Paris, stopping to paint was not an option~ instead, I just took {way too} many photos so I could remember this green. The first photo is a view  taken during a short walk through the forest

2. my uncle, my aunt, {my mom’s younger brother and older sister both of whom I adore} Sean {who I also adore} and me, I’m the one falling behind on the walk as per usual, because I keep taking photos with my Iphone

3. dandelions, "Lowenzahn" in German {sorry I can’t find my umlaut key on the keyboard, which are the double dots that should go above the 'o'} which literally translates to lion tooth. If you ever wondered what a lion tooth looks like? it looks like a petal to a bright yellow flower ;)

4. I forgot the German name to these flowers, but they are the sweetest tiny daisies you’ve ever seen

5. & 6 all the apple trees are blooming right now

7. tulips are blooming too

8. & 9. rainy days and gorgeous skies taken while driving

10. spring green trees,  such a brilliant, vivid green, especially when the sunlight shines through the leaves ~ also taken while driving

We had the most wonderful time. I’d share more words with you, but it’s late Monday night here and after traveling by train, at 350 km per hour = crazy fast, and metro and then the metro again, I’m done for today. I know we are officially back 'home' in Paris because people are speaking French outside my door. Hope you all had a lovely, lovely weekend.

what absolutely gorgeous photos! (and a pretty cool app too, I must say! makes me want an iPhone!)
Beautiful :-)
Very neat application. The photos are great and have a nostalgic feel to it.
They are called Gänseblümchen! The translation would be "geese floret" or "geese flower".
I love the color saturation! Simply gorgeous. I agree about the old nostalgic feeling. I will certainly have to try these apps out.
oh that's right! thank you!
