It is warm and sunny and the late afternoon light is dappled through the stand of spruce bordering the west side of the garden. I have a terrible cold and my thoughts are running, I suspect, out my nose. ;) Now I am off to to lay under the umbrella in my garden with my new book. Hope you are all enjoying these fragrant, lustrous days.

Oh....
So beautifully put, I am at loss for words.
Hope you feel better soon, and thank you for sharing such gorgeousness.

That iris looks like it is made from velvet, such a lovely colour and texture. The book and the view of your garden from under the umbrella should help distract you from your cold.
Beautiful post! I hope you feel better soon. Your iris is incredible, it appears as though it's coming right out of the screen.
Dear MsS, Poor you with a cold. I really do think that a summer cold is somehow worse than one in winter. Maybe it is just the wrong season for colds. But what wonderful images of plants in the garden - enough to banish the blues, I hope.
Ms. S -
I do hope you are feeling better soon. I am happy to hear you are able to get some rest. Your June garden is just beautiful. They are fragrant days... aren't they? I find myself walking past my honeysuckle vine more often than I really need to just to enjoy the wonderful smells.
The garden is the best place to find a cure, and yours is lovely. Get well.
Beautiful garden pics! You do have a way with that camera! Get well!
Sorry to hear you have a cold. Hope you get better soon. Sitting under an umbrella in the garden with a book sounds perfect.
Love Georgia O'Keefe and her flower paintings. Yours are beautiful too.
All the best.

MBD: Jen, thank you! I am at a loss as well, my brain is too thick to think! :)
Northern: I was amazed by the evening light on it and hoped the camera would capture that glow. This is their first time blooming for me and they are quite a treat.
Rebecca: It’s amazing what the light can do at just the right time. I am pampering myself this week and off to bed early to recover.
Edith: Thank you for your kind words. It is the wrong time of year for colds – the world is scented and I can barely smell anything. Not fair! :)
Liisa: The lilacs and honeysuckle are all blooming here right now and it is heavenly. I just need to get decongested to fully enjoy it.
Laurrie: Gardens are restorative aren’t they? I fell asleep for a little while under the umbrella and it was divine.
Sheryl: Thank you. I hope to get well asap!
Spring and Summer: Ingrid, I love Georgia O’Keefe as well. There was a woman found the vibrant life in flowers. Thank you for your best wishes.
Oh No, what a horrible time of year to get a cold, although I would rather be laying under an umbrella with a book then cooped up inside in the winter. Hope you are better soon.
The white tulips on a dark background, very uplifting. :)
i cans ee why you have no need for words! do hope your cold is soon gone x
Deborah, Yes, the garden is the best place to recuperate!
z3b: Thank you! It worked out that the cedar was in shade and the tulips in the light. I liked the effect.
ruthie: Thank you! I am feeling much better already. :)
Very nice! Sometimes words are much overrated, anyway. Colour and light is much more wondrous.
Beautiful: O'Keefe's words and your gorgeous photography. Though I must say, your own words are the other reason I love to visit here. Have a beautiful weekend.
Jodi: Colour and light in June *are* wondrous!
Diane: Hope your weekend was beautiful as well! :)
