“Summer is coming!” the soft breezes whisper;
“Summer is coming!” the glad birdies sing.
Summer is coming – I hear her quick footsteps;
Take your last look at the beautiful Spring.
~Dora Goodale
And every stone and every star a tongue,
And every gale of wind a curious song.
The Heavens were an oracle,
and spoke
Divinity: the Earth did undertake
The office of a priest; and I
being dumb all things did come
With voices and instructions…
~Edited excerpt

See how wide the mouth of this gorgeous asiatic lily opens to declare God’s glory! Have a blessed weekend, my friends.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. ~Psalm 19:1-2 ✝
Gorgeous photo and flower!

beautiful and watch that pollen—it doesn’t ever want to come out should you brush against it 🙂

I’m glad you told me that. With those huge stamen and anthers, there is a lot of the pollen that has fallen down on leaves and the petals of others. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤

So lovely. I do hope mine will come back, but afraid that all the rain will rot them.
