Such sparkling light on the Aegean,
liquid gold for tired treasure seekers.
On the patio petals, later in the day,
the light is softer, covering them in
a cozy blanket, just before bedtime.
For, the icy moon is hiding between the burnt
maple leaves - victims of a seasonal crime,
and one a suspicious suspect won't confess to!
Only their reflection, shimmering inside a pool
of cool hydration, seems to rejuvenate the
scorched and seared surface of the leafy greens,
while the flaming red zinnias
withstand such blazing blows,
radiating their own bold beams
of light, as the day begins to doze.
Thanks for visiting and
happy weekend!

I hope that for the sake of the plants new rainfall will greet them soon. Lovely pool reflection. Could jump in there right about now :)

Good Morning Poppy, The photograph with the reflection of the tree reminds me of a Monet painting.... really lovely... and the sparkling Aegean sea is stunning..... the sea looks like it has been sprinkled with fairy lights. To be able to dip my toes in the water would be such a treat.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your wonderful, sunny day.
Best Wishes as always.

So pretty and I would love to sit and enjoy the view of the Agean.
ReplyDeleteHello Poppy,
ReplyDeleteYour sun sprinkled sea looks truly delightful. It is always lovely to have hot summer days with the sun shining on one but, without the respite of rain, everything does become brown and parched well before the season's close.
Still, it is always wonderful to be able to get to the sea where one has a gentle breeze to cool one down on even the hottest of days. Enjoy!
Hi Poppy, so warm and inviting...like you my friend.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

There is a local paper in our area where people write stories of their childhood, about the area, poems, etc. if you have something like that where you live I would not be a bit surprised if they would be thrilled to have you write for them! Sometimes there is little if any pay involved, but it's a stepping stone to who knows what??
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is going well Poppy! Our weather here has been storybook gorgeous!!
You are such a sweetheart! Not sure if there is such a publication in these parts, but even if there was, my written Greek is not up to newspaper par! Thank you, my friend, for the lovely suggestion, I truly appreciate it!

What a gorgeous geranium! I also love the image of the sea.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved that softer light of the early evening. And I've never been able to understand it, even when explained to me, how the moon can be visible up in the sky in the daytime!
ReplyDeleteThat reflection in the pool of drooping green branches is masterful!
So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like liquid gold...gorgeous view! Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
That picture with the moon is so cool. Hope you have a great day.
