Some of you may have noticed that the last few shots I've uploaded were all captured on the same day.
That was our summer holiday....
We spent a week up north - 6/7ths of which were blessed with horizontal rain but we were lucky enough to get one freakishly good day which we made the most of, but by late afternoon, the next front of low pressure was upon us.
Even my B&W shot of the boat at Inverasdale had to be cleaned up to remove a few rain spots from the filter.
Someone once said that the only difference between a Scottish summer and a Scottish winter is that the rain is warmer.
This view, with obligatory bonnie purple heather in the foreground, is taken looking out across Loch Ewe with Aultbea and Mellon Charles on the right.
I'm still amazed at how blue the sky and water is. No polarizer used, just a medium grey grad for balance and a bit of cloud structure.
Our last day and last shot of summer.
Summertime blues....there ain't no cure.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

Tune by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, although the song is also co-credited to Ira Gershwin.
I learned of the song in a 1966 pop song by Billy Stewart.

Summertime waves voyage from the idyllic islands of Tarutao National Park, Thailand, to beautiful Datai Bay, Straits of Malacca, Malaysia, where they become serenity ripples welcome to all :-).
For photographers, such summertime waves illustrate endless symmetries and opportunities for nature and landscape photography.
With some of the best golden hour photo opportunities at the beach, along with numerous activities of sun, surf, and ocean fun -- and also. of course, elsewhere -- summer at the coast is where the livin' is easy,

My Himalayan blue poppy just blooming now. I protect this plant 'fiercely', with an ericaceous top dressing and keeping it staked in my exposed garden and was rewarded with three blooms this year. My lovely 11-year old spaniel died two weeks ago, and I'm as blue as this poppy...

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
A bit of summer fun at home with my love.
Part of my summer still includes listening to Summertime, grilling tasty foods at home or the beach/park and most of all, having a great time with those who matter!
I hope you all are keeping cool and enjoying your summer with who matters! 💜🌊
Location:Gianiskari beach/West Peloponnese/Greece.
