Love these collages, especially "Lazy Days of Summer". The colors are superbe in all of them.

Such a sensual feast! We’re hitting 112-114F now. It’s really sunny and bright, but all the juiciness is gone. Thanks for the treat. 🥰

You really are capturing something beautiful about summer...not just in color, but in feeling.

Ooh, thank you for saying that. I'm happy to hear that the feeling is coming through as well as all that vivid color!

Is it me or do all the blooms seem a bit earlier this year? My lilies don’t usually open till July but have started already…and my lavender which is typically July is well is perfectly for cuttings right now. I guess sunny weather with a few days of rain here and there makes a difference instead of just gray and rainy. 😉 love the collages!

Hi Karen! Yes, everything does seem early this year by at least a couple of weeks! And now more cold and rain after such a hot stretch...the forest will be so happy. Glad you like the collages!!

Love this color explosion. It’s everything summer and I’m here for it! “Afternoon Light” gives me all the feels. Beautiful, Jill! Thanks for the inspiration! ☀️🌈

Color explosion! Yes, that's what it is! Afternoon Light has the same effect on me...something gentle and nostalgic in there. So good to hear from you, thanks for your kind words as always, Casey!
