Enchantments of Summer
through the pages of
Victoria Magazine
A cloud filled bright-blue sky.
The fragrance of flowers in the breeze.
Picnics under the shade of trees.
The sights and the sounds of the busy birds and bees
Games on the lawn or a leisurely nap in a swaying hammock.
These are but a few enchantments of a Summer day.
Victoria magazine shared with us some beautiful examples
of Summer enchantments over the years in the July issues.

"one should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea".
