Spring and Summer

 

Autumn is waiting in the wings.  The hydrangeas are changing color, and a steller’s jay left a present for me on one of them.  

This was the hottest summer ever in these mountains, and while there have been clouds around we haven’t had any rain since April. 

The roses are looking a little frazzled from the heat. 

Had lovely wildflowers last spring popping up all along the lane where I live. 

Wildflowers are all over up here in the mountains during spring, and the lilacs were beautiful too, as always.
