Summer Relaxation

The garden has a taste of summer.
The are many cool places inviting to rest.

There is a sense of completion. The chase has come to an end.

 Arrived in the cool shade.

 Cooling off in the pond, kissed by tadpoles and surrounded by lotus flowers. Floating relaxation.

 In the afternoon a cool mist is rising from the sea.

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.
