Pansies appear in many places. This particular photo was taken in Leipzig, around the market square.
The forget-me-nots stand as a true symbol of this trip — so much will not be forgotten. These particular flowers were blooming at the Kloister Helfta, near Eisleben.

Beautiful! The daffodils here are trying to hide from the cold.
The flowers are very cheerful --reminds us that the land is more than history, statues, and church buildings. Thanks.
