The 'Summer Song' rose is an English Shrub Rose by David Austin, known for its striking burnt orange-red blooms with yellow undertones and a strong, fruity, tea-like fragrance. From Ami Eli's garden.

O touch me with your hands-
For pity's sake!
My brow throbs ever on with such an ache
As only your cool touch may take away

Settle in the meadow
The breeze gentle on your brow.
Birdsong in their chorus
Praise the here and now.

May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

A far shot of the Looking Glass Falls, surrounded by thick forest and imposing rock cliffs. Difficult to tell from this vantage, but the falls are 60 feet tall.

Whose sky is this,
in silver hush and nameless sway?
I am the sigh the mountain keeps,
the pulse, the air that stirs when silence sleeps..

No border knows my open claim,
no hand can grasp or gift my name.
I am the endless, unspoken flow,
the space where all beginnings go.

Then I’ll breathe where your words fade—

Then let us, one and all, be contentud with our lot;
The June is here this morning, and the sun is shining hot.
Oh! Let us fill our harts up with the glory of the day,
And banish every doubt and care and sorrow fur away!

The lean bush crouching hints old royalty,
Feels some June stir in the sharp air and knows
Soon 't will leap up and show the world a rose.

The unveiling of a new day 📷🕊️ ….

Slowly the mist is rising along the trail but for now the distant mountains are resting.

I’ve refused to give Steve extra beer money. Apparently I have committed an unforgivable betrayal, and this is goodbye. I’ll never see him again, "EVER". We both know he’ll need a lift to the pub by 4:30, so I expect an awkward silence in the car.

My window is a frame for one dark tree,
A sentinel cypress focusing the eye
To fall upon it, 'gainst a morning sky
On one small town that nestles quietly
Along the gray green hillside lovingly.
I hear church bells; like a gentle sigh
The breeze moves slowly

It is enough, O Sun,
To feel you pass,
To hear the singing one,
The wind, move over the grass.

The Irish D Porter dahlia is a short, bushy plant that produces many 2 inch champagne-colored pompon blooms with light yellow centers. It's a favorite for bouquets and wedding work due to its early blooming and sweet appearance.
