Two more images to help cool down a little on what is going to be a very warm day here in Kilkenny, these images are taken in the Butler house gardens, county kilkenny. I will post fully at some point very soon on this wonderful location but just for now here are these very cooling water lilies.

  2. These are wonderful Nigel. I just love the Asian feel of water lilies. They’re serene, peaceful and cooling.

    Our temps are taking a dip from the high nineties to mid eighties today. It’s better, but the humidity is still like drinking air.

    I shall imagine I’m a dragonfly, sitting atop a water lily on a cool summer’s morn.

    Thank you!

    • Hello Sharon πŸ™‚

      Thank you πŸ™‚

      It’s the first time I can remember since moving here about 10 years ago that we have a dry warm spell, we usually get high humidity along with this but for some reason the last few days have been like an Italian summer – wonderful πŸ™‚

      That dragonfly, she says Hello πŸ™‚
