Jade or Pine Green?
That is the question.

Shades of purple.
Which one?

    What a nice summery post Merci!
    Your colors in the photographs is especially brilliant against the blue sky. Are those two who are forgetting time reading the same two who were boating last summer?

    Well, yes all I can say is IT IS AMAZING all of the interconnection in Blogland! I adore people. I adore the interconnection of people. Perhaps one day our two paths shall cross. I would like that very much!

  2. I especially like the way you have caught the sparkle on the water in the bottom picture. Like the sparkle on Maria's necklace in your Sunday post. I do like sparkly things!

  4. Oh - I'm feeln it!
    Especially as I sit here in my trakky daks over the top of my pjs, in front of the heater!
    And look out at the frost on the garden and see all the plants it's giving a hiding to.

    Wonderful post on colors. Here in my area, my trees should start getting their dull look on their leaves in a week or two. Oh course by then, I'm ready for some fall colors.

    Thank you, Constance! :-)
    I don't know the couple in the picture. I photographed them at the public swimming pool, where I took my girls in the late afternoon.

    MAALIE:
    Oh, that was a wonderful evening mood, with the sun down low.
    Regarding the sparkle on the necklace, you must have meant somebody else's blog, I suppose.

    CHARLES GRAMLICH:
    Thank you! One of the beautiful sides of Vienna, abundant green throughout the summer.

    FREEFALLING:
    We'll have the Christmas lights up,
    when you will be watching the figs ripen! ;-)

    Oh yes, of course, thank you for pointing it out to me! Heat definitely slows my brain waves down a whole bit. ;-)
