Summer has begun

Flowers are blossoming
Birds are whistling
Butterflies are glittering
.
.
The barn is revealing its history

The slushy footpath sucks your feet into the mud
The golden hay meadows gleaming in the distance

Summer has begun.

(By Anonymous; found in a barn in Peak District)

I've been thinking that I need to move on from still life
..to recording animation and expressions
but summer brings new life to this part of the world
and the different hues of blue, green, and yellow invariably seduce me
.. and my hands automatically reach for my camera
