Summer in the Woods

Summer is in full swing here in South Europe, and whether you like it or not, the days are hot and getting even hotter. Thankfully, the nights have stayed on the cooler side so far, which makes venturing out into nature and the city bearable.

I will leave you with these impressions from a summer forest. Beni is in the mix as well (he actually doesn't mind the heat, as he is known to sunbathe outside on the lawn for a long time).

Have a great weekend, and to all my readers from the USA, I hope you had a great Independence Day celebration.

  1. Your summer is delightful and oh so beautiful. I love all the texture, from the lacy trees to the nest and rocks. Even sweet Beni has texture... Jake likes AC and cool, Baby is a sun worshiper..

  3. Beni is a beautiful dog!

    I like the yellow bloom with its soft background and the shot of the nest in the tree. All of the photos show that summer has arrived in a beautiful way.

  5. Gorgeous lush green and beautiful lighting in these! Very nice! It's a shame many of our own citizens don't correctly refer to July 4 as Independence Day. Thank you!

  8. Stunning images that show the incredible beauty of our planet. I especially love the birds' nest and the moss (?) at the base of the tree trunk. Well, and Beni of course!

  11. Trotz der Hitze wirkt das Grün wirklich frisch und wie im Frühling. Wunderschöne Detailbilder mit unschuldigen Motiven, wie die Butterblume - einfach schön.

    Liebe Grüße und noch ein schönes Wochenende wünscht Senna

  14. 'Hot and getting hotter' has yet to get cracking where I live so I am quite jealous of your summer. I love the photographs and have to admire that lovely shade of green of the foliage. Beni is a star!

    1. You know what, I wish that it wasn't so hot here, so that I could enjoy the outsides more :)

  15. Lush green is so refreshing and I feel green-colored breeze in your photos. Beni is so cute and looks happy. Being hot and getting hotter is not so bad when air is not so humid like Japanese summer. How is the humidity in your place? We are still in a rainy season with humid but relatively cool air. Enjoy your summer.
