Summer was not working,
he was sitting in the shade
and mumbling to himself:
"I quit, don't need to get paid.
I thought I got the good season,
the one with games and fun,
nobody thought to mention
I'd be getting sun and more sun.
Having a sunny disposition
is harder than I thought
when I'm always getting burnt
and I'm always always hot!"

Featured: We had a nice day out
in the hot sun and were
very happy about it.
I enjoyed looking at those beautiful photos and glad you had a fun day out. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLoved your day out photos. You always give us such interesting glimpses of your corner of the world. Summer was in the shade a lot here, too, this season. We've coaxed him out here and there between rain clouds. Regardless of the weather, it's been good.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend.

Might as well enjoy whatever the weather is...it looks like a marvelously hot day. The picnic looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteLooks so beautiful Amalia, hope you are doing well hugs!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and yummy looking food. Thankfully, it's a bit cooler here today! xx
ReplyDeletePleased you had a good day out and shared your lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
we are hot here in US too and longing for Fall. Your photos are lovely as usual. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely place to be out and about...even if it was hot!! Hoping you're well and things are easing up a bit in your neck of the woods. xo
ReplyDeleteOh, to sit in the hot summer sun and laze the day away, does sound paradisiacal. Summer in your part of the world does look glorious, Amalia.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
A beautiful day for making memories! Enjoy the rest of the summer Amalia!
ReplyDeletefunny to read about all the sun when it is winter here. but we are in Queensland where it is sunny most of the time...
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your nice day out - despite the heat. It's rather wet with us, which makes it cooler!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. August and September are firecracker hot months here, and for some reason I am enjoying and hanging on to them this year.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful, Amalia. Oh, isn't it nice to get out? And when you see places like this -- it's so worth it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fabulous day out full of countryside and town. Love the building with all the plants outside and on the window sill!
ReplyDeleteWe have had some really HOT days but thankfully here and there we have had more mild days to enjoy!
Summer is not working here, or maybe working too hard. We need a break from the heat. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your summer days out. Hope you are staying safe. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful poem! School starts on Monday here and I am not ready for summer to end.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a day out, Amalia. It may have been a hot day, but there was a lot of green to enjoy. I'm particularly taken with the photograph of the home with the potted plants outside. If I'm not mistaken, one of them is a palm. Intriguing to think of growing a palm tree in a pot. :) Thanks for sharing your lovely photos and creative poem. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!I enjoyed your pretty photos and sweet poem.Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Amalia-- so clever! Lovely pictures of goodness and beauty. I'm glad you had a nice day out.
ReplyDeleteHi Amalia, What a lovely selection of hot Summer pictures. So many bright flowers, and cooling water bubbling over stones. I love the tower, right out of a fairytale. Your Summer poem is just right. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely set of photos and a great verse. Have a good week and keep safe. Diane
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm late, I'm late! Love the many pretty views on your outing. Your summer poem is right on. It's hot, hot, hot here! Have a wonderful week........
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures to look upon this afternoon as I enjoy a cup of tea. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteAlways love your posts my friend. I am happy you had a wee little outing.

Amalia, I always love your photos filled with beauty and wonder. The cactus with the red berries is pretty, and the first photo with the red fruit is my favorite. Glad you had a nice day out. It's been hot here too, and have the ac on most of the day. By the way, I love the pop-up comments you have now. They're so much easier to comment, and most of my blog friends have them. : )

Lovely pictures and fantastic poem, Amalia!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I have never thought what summer think about himself.
He is super great!! I would love to help from global warming.

A delightful poem. I am trying... and failing... to work out where you went for your nice day out...
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely and I enjoyed coming along with you to see the country-side! Amazing to see the pomegranate (?) tree! Fun poem to describe this time of year. I find myself looking forward to autumn....Take good care xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a lovely day out! I've decided you can have too much sun. Loved the poem.xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day out and lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteA lovely day out! Thank you for sharing these pretty scenes and I enjoyed your words also :)
ReplyDeleteSpetacular natural beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and the poem as well!
ReplyDeletePoor Summer, I feel for him. Not a hot weather person myself but I know it's good to be outside and not hide inside in AC all the time. You have such intriguing scenery to photograph. Now I'm wondering what food was in those two big silver pots? Food, I'm always thinking about it, I guess.
ReplyDeleteLove your words and your photos!
ReplyDeleteHello Amalia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day out! Pretty scenes and photos! I like the cute poem too. Take care! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great week!
You've given me the yen to travel again with your lovely photos. Hope you're enjoying the tail end of summer!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Amalia, what gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteHugs Diane
Beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day to explore! I'd much rather be out in the heat than freezing on a chilly day :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy tagging along with you on your day out. I like the pomegranates on the tree. Nice poem. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and love the poem! We had our hottest July in record and are close to having our hottest Summer in record too! I am not a lover of heat!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Looks like a wonderful day out. I find I have to get out now and then for peace of mind. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a super day out!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting tower. It looks ? Turkish?
ReplyDeleteYou asked about Cape Town and lockdown. We have moved from level 3 to 2. Cigarettes and alcohol are again for sale - neither for me, thanks. Happy that the restrictions on seeing family are easing. We have had a first restaurant meal.
What pretty photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and poem! I am glad you enjoyed a day out, Amalia!
ReplyDeleteGood night, how are you? I'm from Rio and looking for new followers for my blog. And I will follow yours with pleasure. New friends are also welcome, no matter the distance.

A very nice day to be out, and some beautiful photos. I found myself wondering where they were taken.
ReplyDelete...pomegranates are something that I will only find in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteNice pics. THanks for stopping by the blog. I understand about the getting around, reading and commenting.
ReplyDeleteAmalia - thanks for your recent visit to my blog. I am not sure how much ground you covered with your day out, but it seems like a lot given the variety of the photos! Beautiful photos and poem!
ReplyDeleteA lovcely set of photos, so much ripening. I loved the best the one where bougainvillea is in full bloom <3 Thank ypou for linking, sending warm greetings, riitta
ReplyDeletewonderful collection of memories
ReplyDeletePreciosas imágenes... el verano nos invita a pasar más tiempo fuera, cerca de la naturaleza.
ReplyDeleteBESOS... Gracias por tu visita!
Any time you get a bit of time outside is great. Love your photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!! Thanks for being here. A link back would be great :)
Oh, girlfriend, it's such a delight to see your beautiful country! You have fields, steams, palms, pretty colors...I'd love to visit. No travels for awhile, that's for sure. Very sweet poem, it's been a hot few weeks here in Chicago as well. Now a reprieve in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of summer and thank you for your visit!❤️

ReplyDeleteBoy, do I know a thing or two about always being hot! It is hard to always keep a sunny disposition. I love all the photos. So different from where I live. :)
ReplyDeletelovely day out dear friend
ReplyDeletefrom your images i got idea that may be you live in Italy or somewhere similar part of land
glad you had great time
spectacular photos
I especially love the rocky creek photo. And your poem..imagine if summer could talk. She would say exactly that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeleteHay Season! I've already bought hay for winter, it's in the barn and on the trailer. I'll probably have hay to spare as I'm down to 2 horses. Those huge bales I've only bought once...too much for me to handle so I've gone back to smallish square bales.
