ruffled sleep

my fur is undone,you say?

it's really too hot to care

besides I am always adorable

shadows on the walk

a boardwalk with bridges climbing up 

- or down - 

the valley in the Royal Botanical Gardens

Shadows of trees dancing

Always dancing

All along the path

Constantly moving

But never traveling

Down the path or up it.

Shadows are bound to the shapes that make them

Like the trees that cast them.

~Shadows of Trees Dancing by Hm. Nes

I took so many pictures of these Tall Ships when they were in Toronto last July… here is another view of two of them, with two other smaller boats for a size comparison, just in case you were in any doubt about their tallness!

in the waning days of summer, the butterfly drinks in its beauty

an evening glow

the evening sun paints the treetops

True poems flee." ~Emily Dickinson

breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit,

and resign yourself to the influences of each. "

I have always been delighted
at the prospect of a new day

a fresh try, one more start,

with perhaps a bit of magic waiting

somewhere behind the morning.

~J.B.Priestley (1894-1984)

Clouds come floating into my life

no longer to carry rain or storm

but to add color to my sunset sky.
