Was not sure which scene could instantly say "Summer". Yesterday we went for a lovely walk to look at the waterfalls at the end of Newlands Valley. I only took my P&S (why?) so will be going back to get some waterfall shots. However, I did take this one which to me illustrates an English summer - minus the rain! The purple in the background on the hills is heather, everywhere is so lush and the dinosaur droppings in the foreground - our name for the big plastic bundles of grass cut by the farmers ready for winter - all combine to make this "Summer" setting.

Oh my goodness, the heather is fabulous! I've never seen flowers that could color a hillside from that distance.
So beautiful Linda, love all the elements you've managed to include in the landscape.
We visited your beautiful country in the early spring so the heather was not in full bloom as yet - thank you for sharing it with me. Simply stunning!
That's a beautiful scene, Linda - and very English! It's part of why I love England so much ;-)
Your comments have cheered me no end. It has been so grey here lately (this was a little interlude).
Julie, you are right - it is fabulous and like Helen said, one of the best bits of living on this little wet island. I drove home from Edinburgh last week and the hills in Scotland were ablaze with this colour. In the spring of course we have the snowdrops, followed by the daffodils (wild ones as well as the planted version) but best of all is the bluebells - they can really make the heart sing.
