drifted serenely

Autumn is really creeping up so just a glimpse back to summer before we go full steam ahead.

 'The villa was surrounded by a garden filled exclusively with plants that produced white flowers - tuberoses, camelias, carnations and lilies - and there were three ponds in which white swans drifted serenely.' Elisabeth Gille The Mirador

    A lovely glimpse back to summer, both the quote and the photo. Autumn has arrived.

      Sunday - Yes autumn is truly here too. Scarves, tights & coats everyday. We're contemplating turning the heating on as well...

    That garden sounds so peaceful and tranquil. I love the image of the white swans among the white flowers.
    I would welcome fall most enthusiastically if only it would arrive here!

      Anbolyn - I find it fascinating reading about how different our climates are. Hope autumn arrives soon for you.
