Today felt like the first day of summer.
Herons flying overhead towards the river, the swallows have returned and best of all, there's new life in some of our bird boxes, all accompanied by the sound of buzzing from busy bees going about their business.
We enjoyed warm sunshine, appreciated the perfumed blooms and even enjoyed sitting outdoors eating an ice-cream.
Sometimes there's even a reward at the end of the day of a beautiful sunset.
Now it's time to link up 'My Sunday Photo' with Photoalife once again.
Thanks for popping into my place. I hope you have a great Sunday.

It's been similarly summery here. We had the most amazing sunset here, with the sun huge and orange in the sky.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I've taken enough sunset shot's, but then it seems that I just can't resist!
DeleteThat's a gorgeous end to the day and how lovely it has been to finally have the warmth in the sun this week.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is... I never thought it would come, so I'm making the most of it.
DeleteIt has been such a great week weather-wise. I do love a sunset - this is beautiful x
ReplyDeleteToday really did make me think that summer is here and that sunset was the icing on the cake!
DeleteWhat a beautiful sunset Neesie, captured perfectly x
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy... I can't resist a beautiful sunset
DeleteBeautiful photo, I keep thinking Summer has arrived here and then it rains for the next 2 days
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Same here Darren and it's still happening. I just hope that this isn't the way the whole of the summer will be. I need some warmth.
DeleteI love these early days of summer, fab photo
ReplyDeleteThe trouble is that the early day patterns have carried on and it's one day sun and three of rain accompanied with a chilly wind!
DeleteHi Neesie, you've painted a picture of the perfect summers day. Our swallows were a little late coming back this year, despite us having a mild winter, I'm guessing there was bad weather on their journey.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is beautiful and the perfect ending to a summers day.

I shouldn't have mentioned the swallows Debbie, because they've disappeared now. We had three days of really good summer weather, but then it turned back to the usual, cold, grey wet days.
DeleteOh I really need some summer, but times marching on. I really hope that those three days weren't our summer!
I love it you can never take enough Sun Set shots everyone has its own gorges identity shots like this just make me smile x
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad I took that photo Sarah because we've hardly had any sunsets since then. The weather really hasn't been good. I just hope we manage to squeeze in a little more heat before summers over.
DeletePerfect timing as I am at the airport in Paris, next stop London! I'm glad to see you have arranged for summers arrival for me, you always were a lovely friend :) I will look out for those herons as we come into land!

Oh dear Wren... I think the few days of warmth we had were possibly our summer. I think you may be clad in wellies and waterproofs by now. Apologies, but you know what the UK weather can be like. It's a lucky dip!
DeleteYes, now that sounds heavenly! And summery. ;)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it didn't last Rita. We're back in the land of grey, wet and windy weather. It really needs to buck up if this is supposed to be summer. I'm not impressed!
DeleteYou describe it so beautifully. It was blissfully hot here today. Not too sweltering but just right for a nice summery day!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could describe it again, but unfortunately it's disappeared. I just hope that those few days weren't our summer. I need more!
DeleteThat is such areally really gorgeous sky! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI just wish we saw a little more of it. As I look out of the window now there's a grey blanket, the wind is blowing and rain is trickling down my newly cleaned windows!
DeleteSuch a restful photo!

It's the view from my family room and kitchen Sandy. I know I'm so lucky I can hardly believe it!
