Summer?

The flowers still blooming, but spiders already knitting their webs...
The berries are eaten...
The air smells  more fresh...

True or false?

Having the holidays a bit longer than a couple of weeks makes everything upside-down and inside-out... It's getting hard to see the difference between the reality and the dream. And which dream is real? The one I was dreaming about? The one I have to come back to?  The one I live today? The one that lasts longer? Where the colors are brighter?..  I guess it doesn't matter, as long as I love both of them...

What's the difference between sunsets by the sea and on the land? The sun is the same, the colors stil painting the sky, and the mood is there...

Hunting the Dragon(fly)

I am by the local river, entering  the painting of Claude Monet "in live"... How it's possible that everything here is so green? Or I've been missing it so long, that start to ignore existence of other colors?.. No, wait! There is something very BLUE here as well! And never mind the warning tunder, too small camera and mud under my feet... I am hunting!!!
