Summer Dreaming - Creative Tuesdays Part 2

Summer afternoon, summer afternoon
the two most beautiful words in the English language.
Henry James

The summer is in full swing and I am loving it!
Go ahead -
gather sea glass,
wish on a starfish,
surround yourself with fresh flowers,
 and let the warm summer breeze blow in..
.listen to the cicadas, collect fireflies...dream...and fall in love....
Summer is really my favorite season....
I am enjoying my summer break so far...how about you?


 and this illustration
 from here,
enjoy your Summer break.

    Heather, do you ever have a down day, or a frown on your face....
    I think not!!! Because everything that comes from you mind, heart and paint brush says happy, hopeful, full of joy.

    You are one special gal.

    BTW ~ Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my Summer Break.

    Your drawings are so much fun. How great is it to spend a summer night roasting marshmallows? Reminds me of going to camp as a kid. It was the best part of my summer. Nice work!
