Pictures from my walk yesterday ***PIC HEAVY***

[MissHoneychurch]

So it was a gorgeous day yesterday and I decided to go for a walk on the river Main, that flows right through Frankfurt. I took my camera with me and here are some pictures of that walk

The cathedral of Frankfurt






It is springtime (a bit early maybe but it definitely looks like spring to me)


A close up of the blossoms

People enjoying the sun




Some doves






And a bridge called "Der Eiserne Steg" (The Iron Footbridge)

[SeattleGirl]

1. Gorgeous pictures, MissH!

My favorite is the close up of the door of the cathedral! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning girlfriend

:hi: :loveya:

Yes, that is a pretty cool pictures. I like taking pics of doors, my mom kinda started it. She has a bunch of pictures of doors on her wall (taken by me and her bf) and now, whenever one of us sees a nice door, we take a picture of it.

How was your weekend?

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

6. I love pictures of doors!

Weekend was fine; much less crazy than last weekend! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Well, you can't have a wedding every weekend

:D

Here is another door for you

[SeattleGirl]

10. And thank goodness for that!

I swear, putting my daughter's wedding together was more work than my own! No regrets though; it was definitely a labor of love!

And thanks for the pic! Another gorgeous one!

[VenusRising]

18. That's beautiful.

What kind of building was that?

[MissHoneychurch]

22. It was a door in Wrozlaw, Poland

don't ask me what kind of building it was :shrug:

[VenusRising]

24. Aren't you supposed to know these things??

Sheesh. :rofl:

It's still gorgeous. I can't wait until Zodiak and I can start traveling.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Am I???

no idea. At least I remember in which town I took the pic ... :rofl:

[VenusRising]

34. That's probably better than I would do.

I tease you because a lot of photographers will write down what they take a photo of so they have a record of it. It's a weird and kinda nerdy thing, I guess. :shrug: Me? I like weird and nerdy. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Back in the days

when I was using my film SLR I wrote on the envelope the pics came in the place and date the pics were taken. Now I just start a new folder with the date or place :rofl:

[VenusRising]

36. The convenience of modern technology!!

:rofl::rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Yup

:rofl:

I'm getting so lazy :rofl:

[VenusRising]

38. Nuh unh!

I'm lazy. I haven't even taken the latest photos off my camera. I suck. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. ROFL

Ok, you top it :rofl:

At least I uploaded them on my computer. But I haven't deleted them from the camera yet.

[VenusRising]

40. Yeah, but now you are ahead of the game!

:spray:

I bow down to you!


:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Hey, here is a reason to upload them

I wanna see them :D

[VenusRising]

42. Oh, sure.

Make this about you!! :rofl:

Ok, fine. I'll do it later today. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

43. It is MY thread after all

:rofl:

But of course the other Loungers are welcome to look at your pics as well :hide:

Please pm me the link in case I am not online.

[VenusRising]

2. Lovely pictures!!

Gotta love the new camera! :bounce:

My favorite is the doorstep. It looks so postcard-esque.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. I definitely love it

I was forced to stop taking pics because the battery died on me and I forgot to take the second one with me. I took over a hundred pics nevertheless :rofl:

[VenusRising]

13. Oh, the battery issue.

I hated that with my old camera. It took 4 AA. My new one only takes 2!! :bounce:

I really need to take some more pictures. Hubby's graduation is next weekend, so that's a great excuse!!

I can't wait to see more of yours.

[MissHoneychurch]

I have a spare battery

but I just forgot to take it with me. If took a bunch of macro pictures, the zooming there takes a lot of battery, I didn't think about it :banghead:. Oh well, the battery died on me toward the end of the walk, so that was OK.

You will be seeing more of them. I promised I'll flood the Lounge with my pics till you beg me to stop :rofl:

[VenusRising]

17. Nope. Not me.

Post photos of places I've never been. I think that rocks!! I think :yourock: too.

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Awww shucks

:blush:

I enjoy sharing my pictures though, I have to admit :D

[wildhorses]

3. these are wonderful

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Thanks wildhorses

:hi:

Check your pm's

[wildhorses]

9. sure thing

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Wonderful

:hi:

Looking forward to it!!

[gr8dane_daddy]

12. Well the pics are okay...

j/k...nice talent you have there hotstuff

[MissHoneychurch]

14. I try my best

:D

And now with the digital camera it is so much less expensive to take a lot of pictures... LOL

[Kutjara]

15. Great shots MHC!

The cathedral ones are wonderful. It's such an historic building. It was built in the 14th and 15th Centuries and Holy Roman Emperors were crowned there. I used to love visiting it when I lived there.

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Thanks Kutjara

and thanks for the explanations. The last years the top was covered up for restauration. They took it off last year. It looks so much nicer :)

[Guava Jelly]

16. picture 3 is my favorite

and the flying pidgeons
good morning MissH

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Thanks GoP

it was tough getting the flying pidgeons in the picture AND in focus :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

28. you did smashingly.

:hug:

[crim son]

19. Your cherry blossoms are in bloom, MissHoneychurch.

How I envy you.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I was really surprised when I saw it

also the forsythia is blooming as well already. The forsythia is a plant, that has to bloom for me at Eastern. Eastern is only in 4 weeks :wow:

[crim son]

29. Forsythia: yellow flowers.

For us, it's a time when we must fertilize our lawns, when the forsythia blooms.

It's months away for we here in Maine. You are lucky!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. For me it isn't Eastern without Forsythia

Funny how certain flowers/plants are connected to certain dates

[AshevilleGuy]

20. You are as far north as Canada, Asheville is farther south than

Algiers or Tunis, YET you have Spring, and my yard is still DEAD! It is not fair...

Damn Gulf Stream doesn't help us a bit.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. But Ashville lies higher than Frankfurt

and we didn't really had a winter here this year so I would say it has something to do with that. Don't worry, I remember in 1995 I was in Charlotte, NC and had a sunburn on my nose in March ...

[neweurope]

30. Great pictures as always, MissHoneychurch!

I especially love the third one!
And isn't the weather beautiful? I hope it'll stay like this for a while! Even though I'm mainly indoors, painting that dining room.


----------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Good morning neweurope

funny, a lot of people like the door picture ....

The weather is gorgeous, unbelievable. You could leave the window open.

[neweurope]

55. I do... And every few hours I go outside to admire my plants.

:)

---------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. Great shooting! Especially those birds

They don't sit and pose, like a cathedral does. Good shooting to get them in the frame like that.

Frankfurt looks nice, even without snow.

:thumbsup:

We need more pictures of Miss Hc.

[MissHoneychurch]

46. I am proud of myself about those bird pictures

and believe me, I deleted quite a few :rofl:

More pictures by MissHoneychurch ... I prefer that :)

I really like Frankfurt. I like the skyline. How the old and the new are right next to each other.

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

45. Beauty! But, where are the pics of Frankfurt's loveliest blossom?

   The Semperdolce Honig-Kirche?

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Those are kept out of the thread wisely

Nothing gets as lovely as a cherry blossom :)

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

60. THAT, my dear, is a matter of opinion!

   Damn! Can't even remember how to spell "remember" {*mutter... grumble... mutter*}!

   Yes, cherry blossoms are beautiful -- having grown up in Washington DC I remember them fondly -- but it is MY not-at-all-humble opinion that Semperdolce Honig-Kirche is one of Mother Earth's most beautiful blossoms! :*

[Callalily]

48. Thanks so much

for the tour of your city. I especially liked the second pic, of the cathedral (upshot). I remember that you like to take pics from that angel. Very nice.

Glad you had good weather and were able to get out and about. Yesterday was nice here too, but I was feeling lethargic so I just read all day.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Good morning Simply

I was lethargic Saturday, even though we had nice weather that day as well already. But I went out Saturday evening instead.

Yesterday it would have been a sin to stay inside.

Glad you like the pictures

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

52. Your pics are

great, please keep them coming.

Yes, I should have taken advantage of the good weather yesterday, but just was not motivated. I know, that's bad. Oh well . . .

Gotta head out to work. Wishing you a great day and chat with you later.

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Have a wonderful day

:hi: :hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

49. Nice..

But, none of those pictures look like they they were taken in the United States of America(the best country ever...GO USA).. Germany, I looked for it on a map of the 50, can't find it.. You are very good at Photoshop.


I have been drinking... Please ignore me.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. As long as you like the pictures

everything else doesn't matter ...

[Omphaloskepsis]

54. Very nice...

I'm happy you are enjoying the new camera.

[reyd reid reed]

56. Those are beautiful!!!

Makes me remember walking to school in the spring...I used to walk past gardens that just popped every year.

*sigh*

Thank you for posting these.

[MissHoneychurch]

58. My pleasure rrr

glad you enjoyed them

:hug:

[graywarrior]

57. Stunning photo's.

:toast:

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Thank you

and you're welcome :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

61. Those are amazing pictures!

:wow:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. Thanks Rev_Acts

Happy you like tham :hug:

[GenDem]

62. Gorgeous pictures!!!

Thanks for sharing. It is such a treat to see spring.

We are getting more moderate early spring weather here, finally, but we're still a good 8 weeks before blossoms.

[MissHoneychurch]

66. Spring is way too early here

like 4 weeks early.

[Redstone]

63. I didn't know you were in Frankfurt! I have a VERY good friend who lives there;

she and her husband own a travel agency, so if you ever need a good price on airplane tickts, let me know and I'll send you their contact info.

(Oh, and also: very nice pictures.)

Redstone

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Thank you Redstone

you should have told me two weeks ago ... LOL ... I just bought me a ticket. Next time :)

So when are you coming over to visit her? :D

[u4ic]

67. What a treat to see your pics, MissHoneychurch

They are truly beautiful, thank you! :loveya:

The cathedral is spectacular.

What sort of trees are in the fourth picture? Are there many parks in Frankfurt, where people can sit out and enjoy the sun?
