signs of Autumn in Heilbronn

it's Wednesday, September 3rd today and September means Autumn is approaching and our tree knows it :))



i was walking home from town today and i thought to photograph them with my cellphone camera to share with you what i saw along the way



leaves fall everywhere and are found everywhere



more photos when we are into the Autumn season - i truly missed Autumn and here i am going to be with them soon, yay :)))

my Sunday best

it was one lovely Sunday today, the weather was so kind to us and it was even lovelier to have my Sunday best spending time only with my dear husband after going through all the hustle and bustle transition from America to Germany. today was our first Sunday weekend spent together in Heilbronn. so we thought to make another walk to downtown, have a coffee or ice-cream. all the street we walked by was pretty quiet at noon, i think the local must be spending their family quality time together inside their house


we stopped at Bar Moderna and it is a restaurant also selling assorted ice-cream. i loved my iced-coffee with triple scoops of vanilla ice-cream minus cream toppings but today i opted for Spaghetti Eis (Spaghetti ice-cream)


i think it was purely vanilla ice, they just designed it like spaghetti to make it looked different but the taste of the vanilla was strongly there. another trick to the mind. it's not cheap though!


my colorful spaghetti eis


i like the transparency look through of this empty glass of a menu left on our table - only the cut lemon left in this empty glass of our sparkling water


we then cruised drive outside Heilbronn city centre and saw huge field of vineyard. these are purple grapes and they are not for eating but for producing red wine


up-close and personal look of the red wine grapes


not far from the vineyard, there is a castle tower - perhaps, it was once lived by Rapunzel hahaa...

the huge vineyard discovery amuses me as i always wanted to photograph it in Autumn. so my dearest gentle bloggers, watch out for my autumn vineyard photography - it is only few minutes drive away from our home, i say drive because i hate walking steep uphills :))
