Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. |
–William Shakespeare |
Campbell Meadow, near our house. Have an awesome Wednesday!

I get it, one of you holds the leash and one the camera! Great pics of a sunny walk.
The ideal photos for this poem on so many levels.
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
But blog it and the summer's shared
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Missues, dogs, and pottery.
(My apologies to Will.) :-)
Missus! Ack. Typo in a sonnet!
Beautiful!
Cheri wins comment of the year!
Lovely in every way!
Cheri, that is awesome!
Gary, I love these photos and they lift my spirits. You have some awesome outdoorsiness around you. And Shakespeare - always good to read a sonnet.
