Watering can in hand ...

... tasting the scent of sun on warmed earth,
... as she drenches parched plants with cool water.
Evening birdsong follows her path.
A Scarlet Tiger moth alights and sits awhile.
A mightier beast thunders by,
performing acrobatics for a nearby show.

    I agree with Jessica, it is so relaxing watering in the evening as it cools down Julie x

    Wow, your first watering can photo brought back memories, the smell of hot metal in the sun and baking earth and bare feet. Lovely. And I love the moth on your hand, nature is drawn to you! The moth and the jet look the same.

    Amazing pictures--the tiger moth is beautiful! I love your watering can. I'm using an orange one these days--I enjoy the ritual of watering.

    Marina,

    Gorgeous butterfly! How is your weather there? Is it hot? We are all waiting to hear the news of Kate and Williams new addition. A boy or girl? What do you think?

    How are you and is Mattie enjoying the summer? It has been raining here a lot lately. People tell us it is not usually normal to have this much rain. We've been walking in between rain drops. :-)
