March delights

Owls and marbels.

Bunny and candle.

Tulips.

Sweet visitor.

Birthday cake (for my mom).

I hope your March has been equally delightful so far!

Three Little Kittens

Mary from Green Paper provided a collage sheet for her March challenge. As always it was fun to create something from the three images she kindly shared.

Lulu was one of the Three Little Kittens.

Carnival in Munich

Sunshine and a clear blue sky -- perfect weather for Fat Tuesday (Faschingsdienstag) in Munich.

The carillon in the New Town Hall.

Masked lamp post.

Witch weather vane.

The vane was on top of the food booth below.

A living statue.

Looking across Marienplatz (Mary's Square) towards the Old Town Hall.

Japanese Native Americans.

A Bavarian couple -- the "costumes" look authentic.

More Japanese kids -- pirates this time.

There were quite a few places selling food and drinks.

A Japanese frog woman.

Chick(en)s!

Candy booth.

Another masked lamp post.

Moo-Mania's new theme is Carnival/Mardi Gras. I made the moo below using the photo above.

The Karlstor (Charles' Gate).

Happy clown.

Happy clown family.

Yummy strawberries.

Little princess.

Cute dancers.

Unicorns.

Witch.

Witch moo.

Pink people -- and a smurf, too.

Poultry again.

Pretty fairies.

Rooster and hen.

The invisible man.

Who would have guessed that Oz is right in Munich?

Crowd -- time to go home ...

... to eat a delicious Krapfen (cruller).

M is for Mask

M is for mask -- and also for Mardi Gras.

Once again the timing is perfect for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday.

From Wikipedia:

"A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment."

The Carnival of Venice is famous for its beautiful masks.

Lara is wearing the mask now.

The mask colors suit her eye color.

All ready for Mardi Gras!

Since there's a lot of pink in this post, I am linking this up to Beverly's Pink Saturday.
