Enjoy the silence is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A small boat with white sails is sailing on the deep blue ocean painted in vibrant shades of blue,teal and emerald green. In the foreground the sandy beach. Above the blue sky, no clouds. Dreaming of a perfect day - sailing in a small sail boat on the ocean, nothing but the blue sky above you, the sunshine is kissing your skin, just the sound of the waves and some seagulls around you, a soft breeze in your hair - enjoy the silence.
Reload your batteries with positive energy.

I came across with this picturesque scenery at the Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm in Sequim, Washington on our road trip few days ago. I really liked the quaint metal table and chairs positioned at the edge of this lovely lavender field with wavelike display, creating a serene outdoor seating area as purple and green hues blended harmoniously, offering a calming rural scene.

An iarmailt cho soilleir tana
mar gum biodh am brat-sgàile air a reubadh

Leodhas as t-Samhradh
Ruaraidh MacThòmais

An iarmailt cho soilleir tana
mar gum biodh am brat-sgàile air a reubadh
’s an Cruthaidhear ’na shuidhe am fianuis a shluaigh
aig a’ bhuntàt ’s a sgadan,
gun duine ris an dèan E altachadh.
’S iongantach gu bheil iarmailt air an t-saoghal
tha cur cho beag a bhacadh air daoine
sealltainn a-steach dha’n an t-sìorruidheachd;
chan eil feum air feallsanachd
far an dèan thu chùis le do phrosbaig.

Lewis in Summer
Translator: Derick Thomson

The atmosphere clear and transparent
as though the veil had been rent
and the Creator were sitting in full view of His people
eating potatoes and herring,
with no man to whom He can say grace.
Probably there’s no other sky in the world
that makes it so easy for people
to look in on eternity;
you don’t need philosophy
where you can make do with binoculars.

On days when time and circumstances allow the three of us sit in our recliners with hot coffee for an hour to chat. We talk about anything and everything that is of interest past or present. Summer curls up on my lap for her morning massage.
Today my husband's thoughts took him back over fifty years to Vietnam. He told me that for a short time when he arrived in country and he had yet to be sent out in the field he ended up as the ping pong ball partner for a sergeant. I guess new recruits good at ping pong were hard to find. This sergeant decided to keep him around and wrangled him into his unit that was headed to the DMZ.
He spent most of the rest of his military career in combat. He says it was all because of ping pong.
You never know what twist or turn might change your whole life.
He hasn't played ping pong since.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Oh, sleepy summer day. I don't really feel like being busy and efficient, powering through like a machine to keep the profits up for those corporations who tap into my energy and time.

Nature's lazing about in the heat, resting, keeping cool in the heat.

I think I'll let her by my "Influencer" today.

A morning in the life of Summer.
We are all little bit off our game today.
I found that a large jug of liquid laundry detergent had sprung a leak in the laundry room.
What a mess.
Could have been worse.
At least it only spilled about a half gallon of soap. Only...
I blocked the doorway with a hamper so Summer could watch but not help.
I did get a few photos of Summer before and after the laundry soap debacle.
Well.
Now on to take care of the business that I would have gotten to earlier except for the soap that got in the way.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Oh my goodness.
I wanted to let our grandson enjoy his birthday week without having to work at our house. He was hesitant but I told him we had everything under control.
Today, I grabbed the, too tall for me battery weedeater, and attacked the weeds around our raspberry patch like they were weasley politicians.
I worked until both batteries were depleted and my arms felt like jello.
What started out as a smaller project just kept getting bigger and bigger. This happens to me sometimes because I can't leave well enough, well enough.
Summer supervised the work and now she is directing the rest period.
I was going to resume when the batteries charged, but maybe not.
Tomorrow, is install the new front door day and I will need steady arms.

A June Day At The Lake ...

Sunlight filters through the leaves of tall trees, casting dappled shadows on a lush, green landscape beside a serene lake at Caledonia State Park in Fayetteville, PA. Soft hues of pink and yellow wildflowers contrast with the vibrant greens and blues, capturing the essence of a tranquil and idyllic June day.

Located between Gettysburg and Chambersburg within view of the northern Blue Ridge Mountain System, Caledonia State Park is a lovely spot to picnic, canoe and hike, and just take in the beauty of the day. Lovely in all seasons of the year.

A June Day At The Lake is a spring / summer version of a previously uploaded image, "Autumn Grove," which is also available in my collections here.

This image was hand painted, digitally, in Corel Painter, the Wacom Tablet and Art Pen using one of my own exclusive photos (not from stock or public domain) as a starting point. Not created using Artificial Intelligence / AI.

Spring and autumn are unpredictable and capricious -- you never know if the day will be warm or cold, calm or blowsy.

But summer . . . you wake up and know that the day will be warm, then warmer, then hot, because that's what summer is: sleepy and quiet, the landscape resting under the season's heat. As we can, too.

A low-angle, medium shot of several lavender plants. The composition is dominated by the lavender in the foreground. Small violet flowers are in full bloom at the top of the stems. The background includes a clear, blue sky with a few green trees and reddish-pink flowers. The image is brightly lit, with strong contrasts between the purple blooms, green foliage, blues sky and earth tones.

Looking at the weather forecast, it seems like summer will be taking a break for the next ten days. From experience, no matter how hot it gets from mid-August onwards, it won't be the same kind of heat as the hot days of July or early August.
In other words, even if it's still far off, I can slightly feel the end of summer approaching.
