Love those photos, Weaver.<br /><br />Interesting that you mention the only sounds being the buzzing of the bees and the faraway drone of a distant aeroplane - that always speaks to me of halcyon summer days too. There's something about that distant drone that makes me feel warm and summery and indescribably sort of calm.Raph G.

Flowers blooming—both wild and and garden species; birds still singing, though not quite so boisterous now, as some are tending fledglings. The sky is blue, the river runs clear and full.<br /><br />A day to store in the memory banks and savor throughout the year.<br /><br />I loved your photos. I'd never heard of Royal Oak Day, but I'm glad you mentioned and explained it. I think it's sad, and a loss to culture's rich tapestry, when so many of these old ways and customs fall into disuse…to be eventually forgotten. <br /><br />I wish your fearsome beast—Tess—luck on the rabbits, though she barely looks bigger than a rabbit herself. <br /><br />Finally…congrats on the blog award. All one has to do is read and look at postings such as today's to know why you deserve honors.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-74236554272937440442009-05-29T07:31:30.581-07:002009-05-29T07:31:30.581-07:00Oh, how beautiful!Oh, how beautiful!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.com
