dc solstice


















the garden and i,
we play with the light
from dawn 'till dusk
we grow
high to the peak
summer solstice

 time does not exist 
we forget about time
we just are

the green of june
 an impressionists palette
myriad scents
deep shadows
dazzling sparkle
bountiful
genial


wonderful artist Kirsten presented us with this beautiful theme,
please take a look at her lovely Sunny spot for more
and wherever you live
happy solstice

and a peaceful weekend
X

    Oh my gosh, Renilde! You led us along your floral path to your lovely lady in her magnificent floral hat. I feel like I've been on a walk in the sweet scent of summer. xo Carole

    I love where you went with this, Renilde! The garden pictures are beautiful but the table decoration and your inspired painting are most wonderful. I'm thinking I need a flower hat!

    I just love to stroll with you in your garden, dear Renilde!
    In that light and those colours... I can smell the scent of the flowers... of the roses! the beautiful roses! lady's mantle... elder... much more roses.
    Marvellous pictures! and when you take us inside, even with your beautiful words, I have the feeling of a levying celebration, glorious! Lovely painting... her hat of flowers... her expression... gorgeous.

    Thank you!
    Wish you a happy summer season!
    Love
    xo Ariane.

    Renilde, time does not exist
    I agree with you!
    beautiful words and beautiful painting!
    each solstice, it should not change anything for us, only the attitude of open our doors to summer freedom for some, and the tranquility of a warm fire that protects us from the cold to others.
    in both cases, always writing or painting with the creativity that nature gives us. :))))

    Renilde, a pleasant to say the least visit to your garden. Your work has given a bounty of beautiful flowers for us all to enjoy. And for you to paint for us to enjoy!!! I like her expression very much. And the way the light hits her angles, shadows, highlight areas. I like the full moon reflected in her hair of flowers. She is a goddess of the highest order. N, xo
