OBERAMMERGAU - FLOWERS EVERYWHERE

On our walk through Oberammergau we saw flowers everywhere. Here is a tiny sample!

Masses of geraniums

A Summer garden...

Sunflower up close

Here I captured some kind of bug - didn't even know it till I looked at the photos :-)

Hollyhock

The rose...

Another house with lots of geraniums - I particularly liked the "little houses" on the roof!

You can find more Oberammergau here:

I'm just going to have to stop looking at your posts, if you keep this up. :-)

They're what? (geraniums)

Beautiful flowers. Lovely memories. I have had geraniums in my window boxes and hanging baskets at every home I've lived in every year ever since I left Bavaria in 1980.

yes, it's kind of addicting isn't it!

This is beautiful. I have been to 17 different countries and only The Nederlands comes close to having flowers everywhere. Most German houses and yards are beautifully carressd with flowers.
