Summer…
That perfection of long summer evenings
And mosquito bites
When it never really gets dark
And there is plenty of time
For skimming stones,
For gazing
At the deepening colours in the sky
And for enjoying the still reflection
Of clouds in the water
And peace in the heart.
For more summer peace, please visit: Skywatch.
These are photos with feelings. Well done.

a great sunset again. You have lots of them. But this time it seems like you had a storm earlier with all those sticks laying there.
Havn´t been skimming stones for years. Maybe I try it again a still day.

Your children (and Oscar) must love this time of year. I’m wondering if the lake water remains cold? I’ve only ever seen Oscar brave enough to swim in it! The sunset on the water is magnificent.

The water gets quite warm and the kids do swim in it sometimes. They don’t like the muddy bottom so are often in the local outdoor pool or in other lakes near us.
