Solitude and Serenity
In this sometimes obligatory world in which we dwell it is an indulgence to seek solitude and serenity...
As I come upon the stillness of a country cemetery, blessed with tranquil surroundings and soul stirring statues I find the moments I treasure...
Sometimes slumbering on the caressing folds of a much loved eiderdown quilt, good book or glossy magazine in hand... the time passes at an easy and gentle pace...
Even strolling amongst the pathways of the garden where bright candyfloss pink hydrangea beckon a passing butterfly ...
the fragile petals of the mop-cap variety appear like tiny elfin parasols and the first petite florets
begin to unfold on the gooseneck flowers I drink in the beauty that abounds...
Hope you're enjoying your Summertime splendor too!

You were missed!
Thank you for this little bit of serenity. Sometimes there's so much to do in summer that we forget to stop to enjoy the gardens in which we're working so furiously.
Such a lovely post and gorgeous photographs!!!
Enjoy,

I wish we could capture some of our summer and save it for the winter. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing!

my computer is fixed, I can comment again.
Just gathered goosenecks for a bouquet with Annabell hydrangeas.
So, your post was spot-on.
It seems to be a hydrangea year in my neck of the woods.
Hugs, Evi
Gorgeous images Susan. Together with your descriptive prose they convey calm and tranquility.
