Midsummer
Midsummer has been and gone, but for us, summer is only just starting.
Long days of spontaneous joys and laziness lie ahead.
And, best of all, the dazzling delights of late evening sunsets
Lie ready to unfurl their colours
And make us gasp in wonder.

You have the most incredible skies, Fiona, and to be so close to the lake must be wonderful. How do you ever put your camera down and get anything else done?

I love the way Oscar is gazing into the distance with his ears at the alert. Perhaps he’s wondering if it really is a hot air balloon on the horizon (or is that just me??)

What unbelievable beauty!
June 30, 2011 at 21:12
It looks like everybody has already said it all. I echo their thoughts of “thank you for sharing the beauty.” But I would also like to know if it is a hot air balloon or just a cool shaped water tower.
June 30, 2011 at 21:29
It’s a hot air balloon.
June 30, 2011 at 22:06
