“Travel makes one modest. You can see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” - Gustav Flaubert.
Not just in terms of space, but also in terms of time. At least that's how I often feel when visiting a UNESCO World Heritage Site, like here in the beautiful town of Ferrara in Italy.

Every summer has a story. ~ Author Unknown
As I was walking through our local flower garden yesterday morning, this old bicycle caught my eye. Great use for an old relic. Bet that old bike has a story all its own. Have a great Sunday everyone, and thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!
One of the few plants flowering in my garden at the moment is this Perovskia, which is a delicate pale purple.

So pleased during a sunny spell here I managed to capture the first of my butterfly photos this year...This was taken at the "Amelia Trust " farm yesterday, today started with heavy rain again...
My old Kodak camera...
Summer is over, but I still like to remember it. Today one more street photo.
As I was walking down the street, I noticed this woman. The inscription (scattered letters) on her clothes is SUMMER (in Polish LATO).
A quick photo and this way the summer was stopped in the photo.
As summer approaches and weather starts to warm up, my friends and I hiked up to this alpine lake in Pacific Northwest alpine lake wilderness area and I was amazed by the pure blue water revealed by the melting lake. I carefully placed myself in this spot to not sink into the ice and I really like how Mt.Stuart poses itself in the background which compensates the foreground.

«Quello che mi sorprende degli uomini è che perdono la salute per fare i soldi e poi perdono i soldi per recuperare la salute. Pensano tanto al futuro che dimenticano di vivere il presente in tale maniera che non riescono a vivere né il presente né il futuro. Vivono come se non dovessero morire mai e muoiono come se non avessero mai vissuto.»
Dalai Lama

summer is slowly slipping away,
it can seem and feel autumn's on it's way,
the sun is reluctant to hide away,
she appears between clouds and does say . . .
the seasons may come
and the seasons may go,
but I'm always waiting
my warmth and brightness to show,
so autumn is not very far away,
autumn colours and sunshine
combine come what may !

Yes, she always has been a dreamer...

When I visited Mount Assiniboine provincial park last summer, there was an evening that I observed a true wonderful scene. Standing in front of the river, I took a deep breath, let my time pass by.
Summer ends on the beach of Révfülöp.
THIS PICTURE OF MINE SERVES AS THE ILLUSTRATION OF THIS POEM:

Four shots of a Verbena Bonariensis in my garden, which must be camera shy, as it took at least four separate attempts to get it in focus. A relatively new introduction to gardens here (certainly not around 20 years ago), it's now a staple because of its graceful height and pretty clusters of flowers.
More from my garden which in spite of being overdue for some serious attention, is looking wonderful just now. This is my Ceanothus whose flowering I didn't spot when it was at its best, as it's obscured by a large laurel.
