Dragging heavy chains,
We sang old songs as sun baked
-slow death by chiggers.
Picnic blanket spread,
I read poetry to you
-breeze goes well with wine.
Hiking through woods,
We saw a deer in clearing
-looking back at us.
Sun shines on lush lawn,
Children run slow through sprinkler
-cold water soothing.
Small girl tugs Papa,
Bringing him to the park's swings
-her winged chariot.

Excellent scenes of summer, there.
A great set of images.
the last two are my favorites ---
Breezes do indeed go well with wine!
The childhood images bring back good memories for me. Dad always called the sprinkler we used the "oscillating" sprinkler. That was my first big word.
I don't know which I enjoyed more, Edward! Actually, I do! I love the wine and poetry on a picnic blanket!
Certainly not the chiggers... they are dreadful, torturous creatures!
Last one is brilliant, liked all!!!!
What amazingly sweet summer images (except for the chiggers, of course). Your sense of humor always appears!
Thoughtful and romantic... I liked all of these. The girl tugging at her father's hand was beautiful.
You've spread summer out before us like a fan of images, bugs and all! Very evocative!
My favourite is the deer looking back, like the season looking back, about to run..
a swing as a 'winged chariot' is such a lovely sentiment
i love the idea of a swing as a winged chariot. very nice.
Dear Edward--
great imagery and cadence--
loved the deer looking back at you, like they do!
all good--thanks!
Oh yes, sounds wonderful--except for the chiggers!
..perhaps the photographer in u always goes for the wide angle & that provides the complete picture ..many thanks..
Such fine summer imagery!
Oh, so many brilliant images...and chiggers, too! Wonderful.
I loved all the images except the chiggers did cause me to itch a bit.
chiggers, what a pain!!!... swinging winged chariot, what a wonderful dream to focus on when the air gets too heavy...
oh beautiful summer!
and i like Kanon in D too!
