As I was browsing through my archives, I came across some photos
Taken one lovely summer’s day at the botanical gardens.
It was a day of flowers and smiles (that’s my daughter in the background);
When pink leaves dazzled
In the sunlight;
And bee houses
Perfumed the air.
It was a time of
Dancing flowers,
And time to stop
And smell the vivid heart of a hibiscus.

🙂 Amazing way to tell and show aspects of summer! I dare to think of an early summer, let’s say in may, when I could have a dress printed with a “pink leaves dazzled
In the sunlight” texture… It would be funny, right? Till then I’ll dare to imagine…or in other words I’ll try to put it in practice… Imagine: now i want a summer just like this: with “pink leaves dazzled in the sunlight”!! Inspired of… So thankful!!
