Midsommar arrived with a heat wave in these parts, and now it’s summer. I decided to round up some things that caught my eye in spring before I start shooting summer.
Above is a Minuteman Park garden at the Buttrick House, featuring iris and peonies.
Wild iris bloom near a New Shoreham pond, and a flowery display decorates Wayland Avenue in Providence.
Rhododendrons on my early morning walk. The North Bridge in Concord. A well-loved antique car.
A weasel on the terrace at my retirement community — lots of excitement.
Sandra M. Kelly shot the photo of the Painted Rock, artist unknown. The work shows the island’s North Light, presumably at sunset.
I liked the early shadows at a playhouse I saw on my walk.
The stone fence near the historic house Smilin’ Through has a sweet view of Fresh Pond.
I bought a wonderful carrot-ginger soup at the farmers market. And I talked to a woman who was selling bottle-cap art and making more as she waited for customers.
Giant sushi rolls. (Just kidding. It’s sod.)
Early morning shadows.

Lovely flowers and sights, I don’t think I have ever seen a weasel outside of a zoo! ☺
I know. There were several racing around, chasing baby rabbits and dashing over our feet . People weren’t sure what they were, but the photo really caught that Walt Disney weasel body, I think.
These are really special! What a good eye you have!

I cherish a compliment from a real artist like you!
