"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

PS: I changed from the “compare image” feature to a normal photoshopped melt of two images because of size issues.

Be like the ant in summer days

Found on the walls of the Red Mosque in the palace gardens of the Schwetzinger Schloss. Since summer is short or in Shakespeares’ words:

Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”

be like the busy ant, go milk those aphids, gather the honeydew, and store it for winter. Coz’ winter is coming.

Alternatively, you can also stop and smell the roses.

Sunshine and water

What’s the opposite of blah?  I would love some cold and snow and white – instead we had weather that is too warm for the season but not comfortable, no deluges but also not really dry (which I can tell by the mud I drag into the house after a walk), greyish sky, with the occasional foggy periods.  In other words: it’s been blah.

So I thought I pick a photo that is not perfect as a photo but I think that conveys the joy of being outdoors.
