Thinking about summer...again

Back in fall 2009 I posted these photos, which I was intending to print and frame for a "winter garden" on one of our walls. Since almost nobody saw them and since we are enjoying a week of plus-30 degree weather instead of minus-30, this seems a perfect time to post them again.

    What a beautiful reminder of summer which many of use could sure use right now. It is in the 40s here today but the crazy wind makes it feel much colder.

    Your painfully pretty pictures make me ache for Spring.

    As I cleaned out a closet today, I saw my summer tops and wondered if I'd ever really wear them again. Come on summer.

    You inspire me to go through my photos and find a few summer pieces to post. We've had a bit of a thaw, too, though it's supposed to drop again and send more snow. Those flowers are quite perfect!

    Ah, what a breath of summer these pictures are! I love them all, but especially the fragile beauty of the second one. :-)

    Your pictures are beautiful and so are your flowers. Glad to hear you are having a heat wave! Enjoy it as it probably won't last.

    It is 10 days later since your "heat wave." I hope your temps are still tolerable.

    The photos are beautiful! Do print and frame them.
