Garden birdbath
A warm evening in the summer is heaven anywhere, but here in the Seattle area we feel particularly blessed when we can eat dinner on the patio and take in the garden view. This was last evening’s lovely view. Hope you can enjoy it with me.
Visit Pink Saturday, Scenic Sunday, Shadow Shot Sunday, Outdoor Wednesday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Color Carnival, Today’s Flowers, and Wordless Wednesday. Also, I think it is so cool that my new book and the launch party at Volunteer Park Conservatory on Thursday, August 4 got a mention in the Seattle PI garden blog!

That looks like a perfect summer evening with the long shadows and lovely yard.

It would be so nice eating on a patio surrounded by such beauty. You cannot eat outside in any fashion in Texas.

What a looong birdbath shadow! Obviously quite late in the day. It’s a very peaceful photo.

You must have had a wonderful meal, because this scene calms the soul!
SING A SONG OF SHADOWS
Sing a song of shadows
Taller than a tree!
Sing a song of shadows
Wider than the sea!
Sing a song of shadows
Dancing in the sun!
Sing a song of shadows—
Day is almost done!

This is a lovely image, wish I could step right into your photo and enjoy it for myself, but this is the next best thing. Thank you Sara, it’s a very soothing photograph.
