summer

116d

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.
#Summer

Sunshine Heart is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A heart in bright shades of yellow, orange and red shines brightly like the sun on an abstract textured background in shades of red and orange. Below the heart runs a row of small heart shapes in the same warm hues. The warm colours exude love, positive energy and happiness.

A June Day At The Lake ...

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.

A ground-level shot of vibrant green foliage with tall stalks of purple-pink catmint flowers extending towards a clear, bright blue sky. The flowers are in full bloom, creating a dense, natural setting. Overlapping foliage and treetops appear in the background.

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.

Waves crash along the shoreline of Cannon Beach, Oregon, under a soft, blue sky, while gulls flying gracefully, creating motion across the scene. The image captures a sense of movement and tranquility, with blurred lines emphasizing the lively atmosphere.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.
