The harmony of the day



 This weekend, I visited the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts' exhibition of stage and costume design at the Palais des Großen Gartens. The Great Garden, located in the heart of Dresden, covers approximately 2 square kilometers and combines Baroque elements with English landscape garden design. It was laid out in 1676 on the orders of the then Elector Johann Georg III, based on French models.





The weather had been dull and rainy all week, so I was waiting for sunshine, and the weekend blessed us all with it... sunshine and blue skies.






There is a park railway...



and three open-air theaters... this is the smallest – the Sun House – where puppet shows are performed. When my children were small, I rode my bike to the shows with them... very often... it was wonderful :-)))




Before I visited the art students' exhibition, I came to the dahlia garden on Fürstenallee... 

Is this a dream?










It's a dream.

I enjoyed it and only photographed a small portion; there are over 60 different varieties.

This magpie also enjoys its kingdom.






I gave her some of my supplies - California almonds.

And... these are the wonderful works of the students...



















And this is how my current work is progressing...



Today's task... enjoying the last wonderful days of this fall.



All the best to you all. 

Viola

  1. Dear Viola, thank you for the report about your days. Since it is autumn, the first things that caught my eyes were your photos of this season. The trees are beautiful, it is worth looking at them at this time of year. I usually walk in the forests, fortunately there are many near us. I can hardly walk, but recently I have decided to go out more for fresh air and the autumn view.
    I like your other pictures too, they exude peace and tranquility, as they always do. All the best to you. Éva

  24. Bonjour Viola,
    Je suis sûre que vous avez beaucoup apprécié l'exposition, vous, qui êtes passionnée de couture et de tissus et le soleil était au rendez-vous ce qui ne gâche rien. De quoi vous donner des idées pour un prochain ouvrage ?
    Les couleurs de l'automne sont magnifiques et on ne se lasse pas de les admirer tout comme les beaux dahlias.
    Je vous souhaite une agréable fin de semaine et merci de votre visite.
    Amitiés

    Even your quilt is a piece of art with its very unusual pattern. Well done.

  46. Sucede mucho en toda Europa y también aquí en Sevilla, que donde hay jardines o parques diseñados por franceses de la época, los edificios principales a veces quedan eclisados por la belleza y diseño de los mismos, como en este caso que nos muestras.
    Aquí tenemos algunos, pero el más importante es el Parque de María Luisa, diseñado por Nicolás Forestier.
    Me alegro de que halláis disfrutado de un bonito día, y también me ha gustado mucho esa exposición de diseño hecho por estudiantes, con prendas sorprendentemente creativas y originales.
    Un fuerte abrazo, amiga Viola.

  52. Hej, jag heter Jenny. Jag är här ute för att sprida dessa goda nyheter till hela världen om hur jag fick tillbaka mitt ex. Jag höll på att bli galen när min kärlek lämnade mig för en annan tjej förra månaden, men när jag träffade en vän som presenterade mig för Baba Wale, den store budbäraren, berättade jag mitt problem för Baba Wale om hur mitt ex lämnade mig och även hur jag behövde få ett jobb på ett mycket stort företag. Han sa bara till mig att jag hade kommit till rätt ställe där jag skulle få mitt hjärtas önskningar uppfyllda utan några biverkningar. Han berättade för mig vad jag behövde göra. Efter det ringde min älskling mig inom två dagar och bad om ursäkt för att jag hade levt för länge sedan, och även veckan efter att min älskling ringde mig för att be om förlåtelse blev jag kallad till en intervju på det företag jag önskade mig, där jag skulle arbeta som handledare. Jag är så glad och överväldigad att jag måste berätta detta för hela världen om hur Baba Wale hjälpte mig att uppfylla mitt hjärtas önskningar. Baba Wale är specialist på alla typer av trollformler och god magi. Om du behöver någon form av hjälp, kontakta Baba Wale på följande e-postadress: babawalewiseman01@gmail.com WhatsApp +16452205737 Viber: +18594463868 Tacka mig senare
