Bright blue summer skies and bright blue Agapanthus in a lush green bed. This is the feel of summer in an Australian garden; a tranquil oasis to drop one's cares and just soak in the moment of pure bliss. Breathing in the tranquillity and exhaling the tensions from one's body, mind and spirit. To reach that mental state of bliss. A moment of serenity and ecstasy; ever so delicate, let nothing disturb this bliss.
Linger a moment longer; what does it matter. While encapsulated in that feeling of sheer delight and ease of spirit. The gardeners paradise is sacred, the moment tender and joyful. A butterfly floats gently above the flowers; a day is eternal to this delicate creation. It reminds one of how fleeting time is. All too soon the moment is over and summer is at an end; please linger a bit longer before winter comes and takes our joy; of moments in the garden sipping tea without a care.
Savour these precious moments remembering the fragrances of summer and watching the sun sink into the golden sunset and the hum of bees no longer. Savour the moment of bright blue skies and even brighter blue Agapanthus until summer takes a bow. The nights draw cooler and darker as nature turns to rest in the garden of Australia; the paradise of gardeners and the innocence of childhood that we know and love the best.
