drifted serenely

Autumn is really creeping up so just a glimpse back to summer before we go full steam ahead.

'The villa was surrounded by a garden filled exclusively with plants that produced white flowers - tuberoses, camelias, carnations and lilies - and there were three ponds in which white swans drifted serenely.' Elisabeth Gille The Mirador

    1. Sunday - Yes autumn is truly here too. Scarves, tights & coats everyday. We're contemplating turning the heating on as well...

  3. That garden sounds so peaceful and tranquil. I love the image of the white swans among the white flowers.
    I would welcome fall most enthusiastically if only it would arrive here!
