Wolfratshausen & pink delight



Welcome to another Pink Saturday organized by Beverly! On her blog you find a list of all the other participants for more pink delight. You will find plenty of pink in the photos below, yet I have also added a couple of other photos which might be interesting for you.

Earlier this week was my mom's birthday. Of course, there were touches of pink on her birthday table.

A pink balloon.




Pink wrapping paper.



Lovely tulips -- no pink here tough.
Nonetheless, the flowers were pretty.



We had lunch at an Asian restaurant with interesting architecture...



... and yummy food:



As the weather was lovely -- albeit cold, as it had snowed the night before --, we went for an outing. We passed little villages with old farm houses...







... and a statue of Patrona Bavariae (St. Mary as patron of Bavaria), ...



... until we arrived in Wolfratshausen, a small town in Bavaria. We looked over the river Loisach...



... and had a walk in the historic city center.



The church St. Andreas which was built in 1484.



A pharmacy called Mary's Pharmacy with a beautiful bay window.



As it was cold, we went inside a small cafe -- a pink building! --, and had a cup of hot coffee and cake.



The facade details were so pretty with the pink rhombuses.



Hot milk coffee to warm up!



While window shopping, I found plenty of Easter decorations as well as a few pink things. Here are fancy Easter bunnies as well as...



... a vintage Easter bunny figure with a pink lamp in the background.



Of course, I also had to take a photo of this soft pink teddy:



It was too cold for ice-cream, but this ice-cream cone on the sidewalk included pink:



I also saw a cute soft pink dirndl for a little girl.



However, I discovered the best pink photo motif in the window of a wedding dress store -- a frog couple all dressed up in pink! Isn't it hilarious?



Happy Pink Saturday!

  2. Birgit - your photos make me smile! I get such a sense of longing when I see Bavaria - which is interesting because it's never before been on my list of places to go. It is now though!

    Love the purple chicken/rooster in the photo near the top, and the wonderful buildings, and of course - the frog couple!

  11. Nice photos, especially the pink cafe. I would love to relax there for an afternoon. I think that (fingers crossed) my blog problem is fixed, and I have posted my first Pink Saturday post, and I got the idea from you! I did not get on the official list because of the technical difficulties. Thanks for emailing me about the blog problem.
