Day 16 - Fragrance

A morning walk after a storm in the night took me up to some gardens.

Everything was fresh and bright

and a sweet fragrance in the air led me to some beautiful roses

gracing the still somewhat cloudy sky.

What a wonderful sight

and a perfect way

to start this new day.

The softness of the dappled sky

set off their loveliness so perfectly

They grew quite high and I held my camera up from below

to capture their cascading beauty.

Day 3 - Bokeh

The streaming sunshine

After the early morning rainstorm

Brought gifts of bokeh.

The night air was heavy and humid and my fan on the chest at the end of the bed

 was set on 'silent night'!

How wonderful to be woken up by claps of thunder and flashes of lighting

and then hear the rain bouncing off the pavements.

The air felt fresh and breathable again!

A later morning walk right after the rain

and these Larch tree branches looked so lovely in the sunshine.

Let's hope the cooler temperatures won't rise too quickly again.

We'll have to wait and see!
