Sharing Summer Skies
As Summer blends into Autumn I thought a post sharing some beautiful summer skies would make those memories linger, and encourage a pause as we celebrate nature and the glorious change of seasons. My introduction will be brief as these images tell their own stories and can be witnessed and enjoyed in your moment of viewing and/or provide potential colourful inspiration for future art creations. You choose!! Thanks to the contributors/photographers of these beautiful images: Katrina Lee, Kellie Anderson, Andrea Savoie and Rachel Chainey.

“The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last forever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year – the days when summer is changing into autumn – the crickets spread the rumor of sadness and change.”
