The Leisurely Days of Summer




The Leisurely Days of Summer

I hope you’re set & ready for another summer journey! We will be coasting, from now till the end of summer. I hope you’re all prepared for the journey, well let’s make it slow while we’re sipping a tall cool drink of ice tea, while thinking of a prose or poetry might come to mind. The bliss of spectacular shows of colours & explosion of the colour palettes of flowers & it’s whiff, from pastel to vivid, butterflies of all shapes and shades, birds and dragonflies.
Speaking of flowers & afternoon or morning teas, don’t forget to visit my neighboring friends with their magnificent collections of flowers, teas and noble stories to amuse you; 2 of my favorites Judith of Lavender Cottage (http://lavendercottagegardening.blogspot.ca/) and Carolyn of Aiken House & Gardens (http://warrengrovegarden.blogspot.ca/2012/07/pink-peonies-roses.html#links). Judith has invited me to join their afternoon tea at the Rose Chintz Cottage (http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.ca/); how thrilling! Both have inspired me to be here more often and to tell you my stories too :o)
Speaking of teas & flowers, I would love to share you my dinner date with my hubby on the week-end, and as well is a breakfast with my family.
And that reminds me of letting you know about my “blonde beach bum” isn’t she super cute? What do you think? I told you she loves the sun. I have to dress her for the summer with her matching hat. I guess I have to settle with the vivid colours right now. I am sorry that I have been busy for the last few days with the household chores, admin duties and my photography. Processing my photos takes time too, I maybe a bit too hard on myself sometimes especially when it comes to photography; I am the biggest critique of myself. I don’t really have to do a special processing for my images for the blog, but for my flickr page, well that’s another story, as well as images for the club submission. Didn’t I tell you that I also belong to the camera club locally here in Surrey? For the avid photographers I would love to recommend you to join your local camera clubs, its fun, & exciting! I’ve learn a lot, met new friends, joined competitions and the ever gripping field trip galore.  
Just like my flickroos friends I have quite a few in numbers and they’re all super cool. I hope to meet more marvelous friends here like you. I got so hooked in collecting tea cups & saucers & tea pots, I also love to write…
One day I went and search on the net for the vintage tea cups & saucers and that’s how I found my favorite sites that I regularly visit.  Besides, now my blog is not only about my photography but also sharing my afternoon tea with friends like you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s plan a tea party and let’s get together while “Summer is here” Till here and see you more often.
May your summer be blessed with sunny memories, embellish with memorable afternoon teas, writings and photography.
A great afternoon to all,

Lisa M.










I forgot my old colored bottles in my boxes down in the basement, I was about to throw them away, but I said “wait a minute, I can re-use it!” and here it is!





These are some of my loyal friends who’s been watching & sitting on my garden for quite a while now. My backyard has fewer flowers than usual; I’ve gathered most of my flowers from my front yard.






Don't forget to see my next page my littlest "blonde beach bum" is awaiting...
