THE PATH TO MY "CASTLE"

The time to visit my castle: best is in JUNE.

These roses are very old plantations.

Full of double petals flowers hanging in clusters,

full of thorns



Because it was meant to guard the castle
the upward road
is
surrounded with various
defensive gadgets:
like the rose full of thorns
not to touch for heaven sake.





The huge amount of flowers
are very tempting
to cut them for
a bouquet,
but beauty is here to save it, guarded
and enjoy it
till it last.
Then you can think to collect the fallen petals
and dry them
for the fragrance in your closet
from where you can enjoy
the memory of the summer.

SUMMER HEAT

"WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE?"

THE CURIOUS FOX IS WONDERING

"COOLING OFF: THAT IS WHAT HAPPENING."

ANSWERED THE HAPPY OWL

Many thanks to Argo:

QUIET BEACH

You never know what you do when on a public place----

like a beach---

you leave a little note of your play with pebbles.....

suddenly it is saved for those

who ever look around in this blog :

But who gets the copy right? :))))

Alone to find relaxation


Just an other day listening to the chatter of the water

A family walking on the pier

where usually

fishing people find some good time

Not so lonely anymore:

Sea gulls welcome your company.

May be you have some

eatable stuff with you?

Back where we left:

It is a lovely greeting (made by children) as you arrive into this garden.

the name is Bailey Arboretum where many years ago a wealthy business man preserved the most beautiful plants he collected from all over the world.

Some Irises are still blooming

also in the part where volunteer children learn

about the beauties of Nature.

This picture is a reflection in my car's window

so it is funny

Daisies are just so kind and loving!

They bloom

in variety of forms

all the time during 3 seasons of the year.




The daisies from an other angle.

Actually I came here because of the blooming time

of the Rhododendrons

They are close relatives to the Azaleas and can grow
very big
bushes with huge
amount of blooms

Blue Bird :(((((((((((

Life in water

Since the temperature slowly but surely goes up

the fish

comes to the surface in a pond

to see what is out there?

It seems that there is some protection with a net

for various reasons


"We are not free to be in a lake:
we are
confined into a man made tank
but on the other hand
we are more secure and
protected"




Naturally in the wild everything is open:
a most beatiful duck
called mallard
wandered into the fish territory
wondering about
"Gee I am out numbered here!"
