The scene above, summer evening in the park on the square in Paso Robles captures my sense of summer spirit. The busking singer songwriter, a young man full of dreams, children at play, families strolling, green foliage, blue sky and a gentle, peaceful scene.
Summer is still a time of hope, for ripening gardens, an improved game, no matter the sport, leisure with friends, evenings of simple relaxation and reflection. The scene speaks to me of that essence and it is evocative of a simple time, still possible.
Lana's orchid cactus's have celebrated summer's arrival with an array of giant blooms. They are dazzling.
So we celebrate the solstice, and the days of summer with a few scenes of the way it is around here, on the California central coast, a place of "endless summer" in so many ways.
As members of the US Senate ponder their post summer plans it might be good for the Judiciary Committee to rally an investigation of sitting Supreme Court Justices, all of them if they prefer, but certainly Thomas and Alito who may well have proven themselves unfit to serve. As the House January 6 Committee presented a document to the nation and future generations, perhaps it is time to look into the snake pit on the high court.
The photo above and below were taken by Lana while tending to her garden.
While here she tends, harvesting fava beans.
An evening in another garden, as Jill Knight and Eric continue to create the score of our lives in Cambria.
Sweet Summer....
I hope that your summer is peaceful, gentle and includes lazy naps. See you down the trail.
