Summer

It does not always rain:

We in the UK are blessed with

east to west sunshine all day long:

For weeks on end: Warm but not too humid and cool nights ..wow!

Could be my place you write about. 🙂 Not always rain… However, as always, a gorgeous photo.

Very pretty, Paula. You have strayed from your usual style. That’s always good.

Perfect translucence. What a beauty! I find it hard to remember such a prolonged spell of hot weather at this time of the year. It will all end in tears no doubt, just as Wimbledon gets under way, or is the absence of Glastonbury this year (usually a mudbath) changing the climate? Surely not!

  Waiting for the mother of all thunderstorms…followed by pouring rain, just when the true holiday makers descend upon Devon and the kiddies are free from school..!

  I am not brave enough for that…this was guesswork by putting camera amongst the poppies , face toward sun and press button and hope!! You can expect many failures but you only need the one!

Geachte mevrouw Paula Graham, ik ontvang altijd met veel genoegen uw foto’s via uw site.
Ik heb mij onlangs bij een foto club aangesloten en enkele steden bezocht.
Parijs was wel te doen maar geeft geen echte spanning. Ik wil meer de richting van grafische bewerking op gaan.
Maar het fotograferen op lokatie blijft spannend. Urbex vind ik wel mooi. Misschien heeft u wat suggesties.
Remember de Nieuwe waterweg in Hoek van Holland.
Met vriendelijke groet Eduard Eenk.

  Thank you Eduard for your kind words…I do remember and the only suggestion I can make is: experiment and follow your heart.
