I simply got excited to see your subject in your thread and settled in to what I knew was going to be a spectacular show.

You never let us down..... your pictures are magnificent. Although I love the lady bug picture, I have to say that one of my favorites is of the cows. I always maintain that when you see cows together like that - all is well with the world.

Kirsten, please don't ever stop taking these pictures and please don't ever stop posting them for us to see.

Many hugs and kisses to your girls.

Nothing says summer quite like
Light shining through translucent crimson petals
Of a poppy cupped toward to sun
Heavy blossom on slender stem
Defying gravity to perfume the day
With its heady scent
Brilliant against the verdant landscape
Delicate and fleeting
As the warmth of a summer day

Breathe in the life, and hold it
Listen in the space between breaths, hear the
Faint rustling of ripening seed heads in the breeze
And the subtle buzz of a million insects
Unseen pollinators of a thousand harvests
Close your eyes and feel
Warm rays on your skin
Baking away any memory
No matter how faint now
Of winter's dark chill
Summer is here, be present in the now
And luxuriate
