Blue sky again
Finaly srping is coming. After so many months of darkness and grey sky we can experience sunshine and blue sky again.:) The photo was taken by Zannnie at the Deák square.
Hóvirág The symbol of Spring
Zsolt: ”Where did you find the flower?”
Zannnie: ”Which flower?”
Zsolt: ”I saw the white flower which you photographed, the ‘Hóvirág‘ is its name. It symbolizes the Spring in Hungary”
Zannnie: ”Oh, I see :)”
”In our yard, right outside”
So this flower is called Hóvirág and it is the symbol that its spring when you sees it :)
Alarm clock
The photo was taken by Rita Diósi. This alarm clock was too noisy. So they put it out to the balcony.:)
Hussars
Just like last year and in the previous years we have visited the March 15th celebration in Budapest yesterday. I just love the (finally) coming spring, the weak sunshine and the smell of fresh air. And of course the hussars with horses are also cool.:)
Our previous posts about hussars:
15th of March – National Holiday
We celebrate the anniversary of the 1848-49 revolution. This photo was taken at the memorial of Áron Gábor.
Áron Gábor (27 November 1814, Breţcu – 2 July 1849, Chichiş) was a Hungarian artillery officer and national hero of the 1848-49 Hungarian Revolution. Áron Gábor was a revolutionary hero of the Székely people (in Transylvania). He became one of the leaders of Székely-Hungarian forces in Transylvania during the 1848 revolution against the Austrian Empire. He achieved fame and notoriety by successfully producing cannon and gunpowder for the Hungarian forces in Transylvania, as well as, leading the resistance in Háromszék County (today roughly Covasna County, Romania) against imperial troops. He was killed in action in July 1849 while fighting against the Tsarist invading forces.
Kiskiralylany in a jester’s hat
The first time when I arrived in Budapest, Zsolt and I was there. He asked me to make a guess if this statue is a ‘he’ or a ‘she’. Looking at this little child sitting on the tram’s fence with a jester’s hat, I guessed it wrong since at that time I still can’t read Hungarian.
This little princess (Kiskiralylany in Hungarian) is a statue created by Laslo Morton. It is very close to the chain bridge and in front of the Buda castle but on the pest side. Those who have been here will sure to know who is she :)
Endless winter
I was tricked and thought that the spring is arriving. So you saw the outdoor dining table out there at the yard getting ready for weekend outdoor lunches/dinner. Nope I was tricked – see how much snow has gathered even on the branches…
winter is back
Not a joke:( Winter is back! It has been snowing again for two days. I want spriiiiiiiiing and sunshine its March already!:)
The Tenin perspective
5th Anniversary Tribute to Eric of Paris Daily Photo from fellow CDPBloggers. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, all CDPBloggers are invited to post a tribute shot from their own city using The Tennin Technique of placing the camera on the ground to make an image, or of skewing/tilting the composition.
This photo of the Liberty Bridge is our contribution to celebrate Eric’s Paris Daily Photo blog. Happy 5th Anniversary Eric!:)

Goulash soup
This goulash is rather expensive, but in the downtown it is usually this price. A good goulash can be found in most Hungarian restaurants and it is one of the most filling kind of soup, so be sure you do not order too much of other dishes if you are not a big eater :)
