Summer has arrived bringing warm days and inspiring colors. All the seeds and bulbs have grown into beautiful plants and flowers, and nature is vibrant with life. The seasons pass so fast, but for a brief time, we get to enjoy the fleeting beauty of summer in the garden.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer! 😃

What a wonderful post so full of the vibrancy of summer. Each scene paints nature thriving in an ecosystem and in fabulous wardrobe of colours. Love the birds, hummingbirds, bluebirds and those flowers! Had to zoom in on the dragonfly doing a handstand on a post.
