A Photo a Week Challenge: Summer Memories

odd-57

This is the path to our summer-house for the past 19 years. One of the best moments every sunny day is breakfast and coffee outside on the patio. I see this view, watch the light play through the trees,watch the shadows move, listening to the birds, nature, When the kids were young, the silence, no fights coffee before they woke up …best moment of the day.

Wild lupines

I had to stop the car as driving through the countryside, the side of the road was blooming with wild lupines and other wild flowers. The field next to them was so green. The nature is sure at its best at this time of the year.
