Sunny Blooms




Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker

And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

Very nice flowers, as usual, Judy. We are supposed to have summer over here one of these days, but we haven't gotten any warmer than 72 degrees, so far. And the 4th of July is next week!

Absolutely gorgeous and I love the color...for some reason I cannot wear that shade of yellow but I love it!!!
I thought as I grayed it would be a neutral color but some things don't look good with gray hair.
LOL

I still long for the summers I used to have when I lived in South America. We have no good summers here. 2012 summer hasn't arrived as yet for us :-)

I love the flowers in the header. The perspective is great.

Awesome Lubbock quote. I tend to look at enjoying nature as being lazy. I won't look at it that way again. Your flower photographs are amazingly brilliant!
