Traces

Rain at the beginning of summer. A gift of traces of a missing winter.
There are traces of rain and traces of things born long ago.
At the end of  my walk the rain was pouring down, presenting an image of winter.
All is welcoming the rain.

Ripening

It was amazing to see the changes which happened in just two weeks. Thursday was a hot day and I noticed the ripening.
Plants are preparing for summer. There is a feeling of containment around.
The lotus is flowering, nourished from the depth in contrast to the world around.
