Little Alps

On our way to and from Venice were the most sticky-up mountains of the Alps. Amazingly different than the Rockies, we could be comfy and warm within a short distance of 7,000 feets slopes. Near this tranquil lake we watched skiers slog up a closed skihill while a series of avalanches roared down nearby.

It's spring in Germany this week.... a regular daffodil festival in every yard and town round-about. Trees are budding and it's the season of stinky cow-poo being spread on fields, assuring the spring green grass will grow tall. Yards are being mown and the little gardens are being planted. Crazy and questionable customs are international as pastel colored plastic eggs are hung from trees all over Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and Italy.
