“When summer gathers up her robes of glory and,
like a dream, glides away.”

It's easy to feel desolate and fearful during this pandemic.
I fight these emotions by bathing in the light and colors of nature.

When I see paintings by the impressionist masters like Monet, I'm immediately uplifted. This photo is my attempt at lifting the spirits of my Flickr family. You are my "bridge over troubled waters".

“Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night...”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
