A tiny feather floated down zig-zag fashion
and landed on my Gaillardia flower.
It made me think of autumn leaves falling.
This summer has been particularly hot
and we have experienced heat-wave after heat-wave
with temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius.
It has been uncomfortable
and I prefer the cooler seasons of autumn and spring.
Luckily the lake is not too far away and I can reach the water
in fifty minutes on foot
or take the metro for fifteen minutes if I prefer.
Which way is the wind blowing?
The weather vane tells me that it's coming from the south-west.
Steam boat rides are always part of summer!
My grandson loves to look at the workings of the boat!
We have a summer tradition of going on a steam boat when he stays with me!
Chrysanthemums are already planted in my window-boxes
I love these striped ones
and the centre of the yellow ones too.
The early morning sunshine streams into my home
and I just love witnessing this peaceful moment.
My coloured marbles love the sunshine too!
The clouds formations remind us that a change of weather is coming
Sunset
and sunrise
The light is changing
an end of summer feeling
storms are on the way.
This is the essence of my summer.
