Between Everything

Summer's here! It's hot, finally, and I hope it'll stay that way. The heat both gives and takes away my energy; I huff and I puff, and I prune my apple-trees, work on my upcoming "exhibit", and train the dog, feed the birds, bake bread... the list goes ever on!
I haven't taken a lot of pictures this summer. The weather's been against me, and frankly, I've seen all this before. I hope for a trip in August that will broaden my horizon, and hopefully give me a kick, picture-wise. While wailting for that, I can at least go through, and post some earlier stuff:

I've been looking at a friend's meadow, planning to do something with some of the pictures. We'll see, how, and when....

Lilac and Clematis, memories of June.

As soon's I get my hands on some good plywood, these guys are going to become a garden-table!

Once upon a time...

somebody built a house. And fenced it in. In the fence this was put to display....

There are more to follow. I wonder who he or she was, that decided to have such an elaborate fence made. Artists? Someone who just liked the sea-food theme?...

Once upon a time...

this was how floors looked when you entered a building here in my small town. Pretty, n'est pas? Nowadays they tend to disappear under "nice modern" floors. I'll continue to hunt for the old ones though, to save what little I can for a little while longer.
