summer moments remembered

Honey-yellow and lime-green leaves warmed by glistening dawns

Fiery tiger lilies, laughing daisies and teasing black eyed Susan's on the side of a road

Coffee beside the lake, the steam curling upward into the bluest of morning skies

Home sinking into your heart, a quiet nesting place, soundly sleeping until wakened by birdsong

Magical nuggets of nature: intricate bird's nests, emerald moss underfoot, ducks sunbathing on rocks,

acorns hiding in the ivy, shells washed up by the river

Morning dew clinging to sun-ripened tomatoes

Carolina, by Taylor Swift

Summer sky, snail shell grey and dolphin silver

Trains rushing by, change of seasons in the air

Full moon at dusk, above fairy lights and gentle treetops
