Thank you Andy. We have not had rains for the last 4 years and hoping this year we would have
some rain. Though I am to glad to see the garden in bloom, I would rather have some rain now.

Put these in the "Summer is Gone" bucket.
Nothing special, except the light.

I like the trip around the garden and the last visual sips from the summer vine :)
I especially like the tomatoes - it's been a dreadful year for them here; not enough sun.
Birma, we've had an opposite year for tomatoes. Typically, we plant many and gather few, one of the reasons my wife gave up on them this year.

My daughter planted potatoes, but let the garden go to weeds. While clearing them, I spotted some red things - yep, we're loaded with tomatoes, vines growing on the ground, in the weeds, even up my cherry tree! We've never had so many, and I keep finding them everywhere. All I have to do is look for something red on the ground, in the weeds, even had some growing among the leaves of my horseradish plants!

Here is a picture from the summer, with seaweed and sand on the beach. The tide is out, and you can see a rain shower in the distance around Toe Head which is the SW tip of the Isle of Harris on Scotland. This scene seemed to suite B&W.

Indeed Andy. The B&W certainly supplements the mood.
