Instant Summer

Posted on 2020-05-23 by Olga

Winter and Spring have been holding hands for too long. Frost two weeks ago and now instant summer. Landscape suddenly bursting with green. I took some quick photos at a local lake already being visited by swimmers. Life is good in summer’s warm embrace.

Mind wanders

Circling the view

To capture

A bit of magic

    Such sharp detail in the leaves! And the poem fits it so well.

    Winter and Spring have “been holding hands for too long” – well said. The sudden onset of summer has been so welcome. Beautifully captured, Olga.

      Thank-you, Teri. That’s what I love about photography. One never knows what one will capture. A bit of subtle editing allows the magic to be revealed. 🙂
