Summer Memories

As a way of saying 'goodbye' to summer, I'd like to present some of the pictures I captured this summer.  Southern Grandiflora Magnolia Vicksburg National Cemetery Chaste Blossom Purple Lantana Summer Rose Grandchildren growing up before our eyes ... Grocery Store Flowers Homegrown Tomatoes  Crape Myrtle Blossom after a Summer Rain Shower Black Swallowtail just Passing Through Hummer visiting our Chaste Tree Wild "Ditch Lilies" Live Oaks of South Louisiana Church Yard Daisies   I hope this has inspired you to think back on your summer and recall some of its shining moments.  I wish you a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend as we say a fond farewell to summer and look forward to Fall's upcoming arrival.

The Colors of Summer

With temperatures hovering at the 100 degree mark and higher here in Mississippi (and probably where you live, too!), my flowers are looking bedraggled and forlorn. I thought I would share some happier looking flowers from summers past that I've preserved in pictures. Hope they brighten your day ...

Farewell to Summer

To every thing there is a season ... and the season of Fall is upon us. Even though most of us have endured an unusually hot and dry summer this year, it's kind of sad to see it go.

As a way of bidding farewell to summer, I've created a slideshow of photos from my "Summer Flowers" collection and added the Theme from a Summer Place as background.

I hope you enjoy the slideshow as you reflect on your summer and look forward to the arrival of Fall.
