Summer Vibes ...

“I’m pickin’ up good vibrations …”

     ~ “Good Vibrations”

  ~composed by Brian Wilson,

       ~ 1966

The light of a looming late summer sunset flirts with these fuchsia flip flops, seemingly left behind after a day of summer fun on the banks of the Jordan Creek at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania in early September.

On the color wheel fuchsia is located between pink and purple, which means it can be thought of as a meeting point between the two shades. However, in everyday use, fuchsia is commonly thought of as a bright shade of pink.

Those Summer Days ...

“End of spring and here she comes back

Hi hi hi hi there

Them summer days, those summer days …”

    ~ “Hot Fun in the Summertime”

       ~ Sly & The Family Stone

          ~ 1969

I spotted this beach ball nestled in the high grass of a field at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on an early August evening, seemingly left there after a day of fun in summer, my most favorite of seasons.

Ah those summer days, if only they could last all year long!
