Summer is a comin' in

Summer is a golden-haired girl dragging a favourite muddy stick across the Heath. 

The entire Heath.

Summer is a pixie in a polka dot dress with fete glitter on her cheeks. 

Her sister dreams peacefully under the protective embrace of last season's tree,

as she stirs mud puddles with purpose.

Summer is a lot like that opening scene in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, except without any boring history books.

    What a busy girl! I hope she spotted some talking white rabbits out there.

    Gorgeous pics.... Although I appreciate that as I'm not washing the mud out, I have a slight rosy tint to them! Nat

    I like seeing summer through your eyes. Summer is a well-crafted post by a lovely writer.

    PS. I hope you'll take the Make it Count challenge...

    You are too kind Mila, thank you.

    I am a slow responder (I take approximately seven hours to wake up in the morning for Pete's sake), but I will respond to the challenge with pleasure, thanks for thinking of me :)

    What a beautiful reflection of innocence, or at least of obliviousness!
