Summer is a rainbow
of lilies abloom
scenting the incense rising
to ask for benediction
of long awaited raindrops
refreshing the soul.

Wow! It’s been a full week since I last saw this blog. I don’t know what it was but it seems the vacation bug hit me. Well, it was little things – children’s activities, household chores, heat, and plain inability to string words together kept me away. I was thinking that my ability/desire to write poems or anything (which I really liked) was gone. I was thinking I only had some limited words and ideas and that one day, they will run out. I thought that that day had come and I was kind of mourning the loss. 🙂
Anyway, my own worries aside, I just want to say “hello” to all of you with these flowers. They came from our little garden. The daylilies came with the house. The previous owners of our place apparently loved lilies because not only do we have several hues of daylilies here, but also a few Aisiatics and stargazers.
Then, when we moved in, not knowing what we already have, I planted a few more bulbs of stargazer lilies and yellow Asiatic lilies. Unfortunately, some of my bulbs died when I moved them to a different area in our yard.
Lilies bloom only once, unfortunately. They bloom when the summer is peaking. They bloom at just the perfect time. Their beauty and fragrance makes gives a wonderful purpose to that dreaded summer heat. 🙂
Thank you for coming by. I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer. 🙂
Hello you indeed have said! so beautiful all your flowers 🙂
The magic of nature’s beauty. Cheers.Jalal
Such beautiful lillies 🙂 And the fear of running out of words is definitely real (just overcame it personally lol) So glad that you were able to recover them
Beautiful 🙂 Simply BEAUTIFUL!
Beautiful specially the yellow lily blooms ~ Enjoy your weekend ~
Thanks. 🙂
Your lilies are absolutely stunning, Imelda, and I love your poem. You’ll never run out of words. 😀
I have been away for a week as well, and i don’t even have kids to blame! What a gorgeous treat to come back to Imelda 🙂
The second photo above, I like it for that composition; colors are beautiful Imelda
Ohhhhh, how beautiful. LOve the flowers. 🙂
The flowers are beautiful. And I am sure the words for your poetry will come back after a rest 🙂
Lovely lilies, Imelda. Great photos of them. They look so alive and fresh. A garden full of them, that must be a wonderful sight for you and your family. It’s always good to get away from the things you usually do once in a while – there’s always another world out there. Hello, Imelda 🙂
“I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer.”
Well it’s better now.:)
Good to hear that. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by.
beautiful images to behold on my grey misty morning after a pleasant rain storm:) thank you for your gift to my eyes:) Kim
Beautiful photos of beautiful flowers… and yes we are having a cold winter… lol…
The most gorgeous ever! These are stunning captures Imelda and such beautiful colours! Love it! 😀
I love your lilies! I also have worries that my store of words (stories/poems) is finite and one day I’ll have nothing…. glad it’s not just me 🙂
You have a beautiful garden, Imelda. And not to worry about your words and poetry — you still got it! 😀
Your lilies are gorgeous, Imelda! Have a great summer!
