Moscow signs with flowers

Moscow loves flowers, arches and signs...here's a little peek from our stroll last night...

This was hilarious... Craig and I were waiting, I kid you not, 10 minutes, for these two ladies to get out of the way. They too were busy taking photos and then checking them, but they were oblivious to us wanting to get a photo - preferably without them in it! So, we just went ahead and took it anyway! lol This sign (the Russian word for Moscow) was erected only a few months ago in our little square about 2 minutes from our apartment. You might not be able to tell, but there are real flowers all around the letters. Most of the parks are decorated with flowers and signs most of the year - well, not flowers in the winter, but lots of cute signs.

After I took a photo of the two ladies, they finally realized we were waiting for them and they left so we could get this shot in between people walking by. It looks like a nice calm little park, but on either side is busy traffic with lots of people out and about.

without people...a small miracle

This is one of the flower arches they put up not long ago in the little park by our metro station. All the flowers are real and are even more gorgeous in person. They go all along the park which is situated between two roads in the middle of downtown Moscow.

Here you can see a bunch of the arches along the path. It's gotten cold here already... it was 21 on Monday, but this morning it is only 8 degrees!
