Summer

last full moon of spring
warm longer days shortest nights~
first day of summer

fussy gaiety
lilt of cricket's frogs croaking ~
fresh shower of rain 

air breathes out natures
sunny soothing fragrant blooms~ 
abounding gardens

Eve great imagery. How about those Mosquitoes? Every summer they come out and remind us they are relentless. Enjoyed reading...
