Tomorrow may be the Solstice
but summer's heat arrived with a vengeance today.
After work I stopped by the Allentown Rose Garden.
Tree Swallows live in the birdhouses placed atop each pergola.
You know it's hot when the birds start panting.
I love the smell of heat soaked roses...
The warmth gives such depth to the scent.
Not like the hothouse blooms I buy at the store.
As I was leaving I passed a young man carrying his
guitar case over to a bench by the pond.
What a lovely way to end the day.
If only I could have stayed to listen.
More heat tomorrow.
i used to visit near by park like your last photo as often as i could, morning and evening. your photo remind me that place byt the lake.
ReplyDeletewhenever i live, i am found of big trees and always look for that kind of place so i can go visit and sit by it.

☾ good night, j
Awwww..look at him! Tree swallows are so darned cute. I love watching them flying over the river when I go for a walk every night. I agree about garden roses, they are the scent of heaven itself with the sun warming their petals.
