“Then followed that beautiful season... Summer.... Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”~Longfellow
“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
~Henry James
They come and go so quickly here....
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSummer is going by fast here. I am trying to enjoy what I can, but I am not getting outside as much as I would like. It is very hot and humid here or it is storming. But I am working on it. There's still time :)
ReplyDeleteThe photo with the children playing and the mom watching reminds me of the back yard where I grew up in La Mirada, CA. That block wall. Summer then was spent outdoors almost all day. I couldn't wait for my dad to get out the plastic pool where it was rolled up in the garage. It was about a 15" tall. My best friend and next door neighbor would splash and swim every day.
Thank you for your post.
Hi Debbie, I hope you see this. The picture you mention was taken in Anaheim Cali. It is the summer of 1960. My sister Cindy was born in California. We were only there for one year! Sue and I are playing with chicks!!! The ocean picture is from that same year ;o)
DeleteHi Donna. Anaheim was close to where I lived in La Mirada. I would have been 9 years old in 1960 and very much into summer. My parents used to take me and my friend Kitty to Disneyland in June every year or so. It was about 15 minutes away.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and art! Warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.
