Just the photograph today -- exams for Katherine combined with a number of deadlines and meetings for me equals few entries, unfortunately.

Yes, but the quality's quite high! And it's lovely to see lupine and other summer flowers with the winter solstice arriving in 10 days ...

Just what I need on this day of Light here in Sweden when we celebrate Santa Lucia with children in white robes and some wearing crowns with candles singing songs early in the dark morning. But the pic of today really brings in the summer that is too many months away.

Martha commented:

I'm amazed that you post as often as you do. Read them all and appreciate every single one.

Melissa in South Carolina commented:

Daniel, you pulled a beautiful wildflower photo out of your magical hat. Reminds me of summer hikes in the Rockies. And then Irma's lovely description from Sweden. Sigh... Thank you both!

I drive past the end of the whipsaw a half a dozen time a year ,for various reasons, on my way to my friends cabin at Osprey lake. i have spent the majority of my seasons taking a trip there. cutting firewood in october was my last trip. new years eve bonfire and playing in the snow with my family is our next trip there. thank you for the wonder memories filled with senses of my youngest son Callums birthday weekend!! i can smell the warm ponderosa.....hear the crickets.

Eric Simpson commented:

While I'm tempted to write the thousand words that picture is worth, I'll stick to one (sort-of;-): WOW!

Laurel commented:

Another beautiful photo to go in my screensaver/background file!
What are the names of the 3 kinds of flowers? Is one Indian Paintbrush?
Warm Ponderosa, crickets, slight breeze. Mountains close by I suspect. I'm homesick again.

elizabeth a airhart commented:

i guess we could all sing christmas carols whilst we wait
my favorite is the little drummer boy and come all ye faithful
do you have a christmas tree in the gardens that would be nice
a little mulled wine irma could make that put up our feet and wait


thank you daniel fine fine picture santa says thanks for the maps
