It was a beautiful summer day here on the first day of July, with temperatures in the 80s, deep blue skies with rolling white clouds, and bright sunshine. I took these photos from my front yard. The pink and white coneflowers and red petunias looked very striking against the bright pretty sky. Don’t you just love summertime? :) I was happy with the way these photos captured the feel of the day. Click on any of them to view a larger version.

This post is like a Sky Watch heaven for me… ha!.. All this are fantastic captures, I was out and about yesterday with Jane.. the day was the hotest so far this year.. I took over 300 photo’s from around Bakewell in Derbyshire.. some will be coming to my blog soon.
I took one or two like this that shows off the plants and the beautiful blue skies.
Great post.
