The days of summer are fleeting...
to see them pass,
gives me a little case of the blues...
(click photos to enlarge)
so I let my mind swim in the aqua blue
of a vintage bottle...
and create a soft summery vignette,
a tribute to the fleeing summer days...
a nest of spring,
holds her clutch of blue...
the once tender sprigs of flowers
that adorned the nests edge,
have withered...
their beauty has changed,
but are they not still beautiful?
fat chicks have ruled the roost,
but will soon fly south...
summertime,
when paper butterflies dance...
with glittered wings,
and all the world is a whimsical delight....
(Sceptred Isle Rose)
summer days when perspectives change...
a petite rose
swims in the shallow pool of a giant scallop shell...
these are the days,
when I can get lost,
looking that rose straight in the eye...
soaking all her beauty into my heart,
enough beauty,
to keep me warm throughout the winter...
Today I am joining...
and
Thanks for stopping by...

What a lovely things you have. I have always liked spring and summer, but not this year. Texas is burning up.
...so sweet and beautiful things. We have here very much cloydy and rainy weather...but some candles make my feelings warm...
Your blues are so delicate and beautiful today. I don't know why it should be so unexpected. We see a lot of pink don't we? Your paper butterflies are sweet. I've been wanting to make some myself. Did you say winter? Warm hugs!

Hi Bella, What a sweet post! I am enjoying summer but do like fall as well. Your roses are so very pretty, such a delicate shade of pink. Thanks so much for joining my travel linky party. We next "meet" on Sept. 15 and you are always welcome to join in. Enjoy the waning days of summer, Bella, and try not to be too blue!

Lovely blues!
My Blue Monday is here.
Hi Bella, Surprise it is me back to blogging and visiting. This summer has been a vacation from visiting for the most part.
Your lovely blue bottle all dressed up in such a romantic arrangement is so pretty. Love the nest and the eggs. Most of all your sweet way with words is so nice to read.
Happy days to you. Summer is fading but fall is a beautiful season.
Hugs, Jeanne
