“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”
― William Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s Sonnets

I’m starting to think about new projects. This is one that is just completed.cornucopia1

  1. Very beautiful… and I know what you mean about the season change, but here, we’re heading the other way, into another brazen summer and torrential Wet season. I’ve been grateful for the moderate winter temperatures and the relief from humidity!
