Clematis
It’s summer showtime in the garden
and this clematis is singing loud
Supported by climbing honeysuckle
a class act, flamboyant and proud
A stone wall is the perfect backdrop
for this display so fine and dandy
Giant but delicate stripy blooms
dazzling and fragrant eye candy

Wildflower Meadows
Summer wildflower meadows
where the deer run wild and free
Even at this far distance
the magic is so dreamy!
A brief wildlife encounter
on an early morning stroll
Gifts us wonder and delight
that reaches into the soul

Bluebells
Carpets of bluebells have erupted
and the local woods are ablaze
The air fills with a dazzling scent
wafting upwards from the blue haze
They seem to cast a bewitching spell
on all those who gaze upon them
And I’m head over heels in love
with this most intoxicating gem
