Midsummer City Stroll

Taking my time ~
shaded by beautiful old trees.
Midsummer blossoms in colours more
brilliant than soft spring pastels ~ vibrant sunny showoffs greet me with good cheer.

And so I stop ~

take a picture here or there and wonder what beauty is around the next corner

Will I miss my bus because I dawdle? 

Yes….. there it goes! A farther stroll in the warm summer air, the whoosh of traffic, hammers and drills of construction on streets and avenues ~

and yet flowers still blossom innocent of these noisy surroundings.

“But the beauty is in the walking -- 
we are betrayed by destinations.”

~ Gwyn Thomas
