Cooling in an Evening Garden


 
Our weather has been very hot here lately. I knew the roses would wilt in the heat. I had not visited Peninsula Park nearby this summer to visit the roses; so I told my "live-in gardener" that before sunset we needed to walk in the garden. His response was that was a great idea and there wouldn't be many there at that time of the evening. Little did we know, others would have the same idea. There were several photographers snapping pictures, but what touched my heart were the children and a dog or two frolicking in the fountain.
 
 
 I always thought I would have been a skater girl when I was young, if that was something then.
So it was fun for me to see this skater girl and skater boy having their pictures taken.


 
But I did say I had come for the roses.
Roses is what I photographed.

 
But I couldn't resist the fountain at sunset too.



 
Do you see him? There is a bumble bee sprawled out for a nap inside the rose. 
Did you know bees had to rest once in the while too?



 
It was a lovely, peaceful evening to just smell the roses and enjoy the mellow pleasure of others.
What do you do to stay cool on a very hot summer day?
Sending best wishes for cool breezes and delights of mid-summer time.
Happy weekend, dear friends!
