    Wow, I'm blown away every time I see your part of the world at midnight. Its got to be sooo awsome. And yet I try to understand too, how one can sleep with the sun out? Thanks for sharing, I love those flowers in your backyard.

    Those asre grand Lupins there! A wondefully deep and rich purple...with one pink one for good measure. A nice touch.
    Your compact and pretty, pink aquilegias are so nice to see too. Cor, mine already have dried brown seedheads! It is wonderful to see them looking so freah and flowery at this time of year.
    The meadow view with the water and mountain behind basking in the midnight sun is a vfery special foto. It's the kind of foto that one can look at and sort of feel calm and daydream a bit.

    Oh Biita it must be wonderful to have such a beautiful back yard with the lake and those mountains to look out on every day. I love the colour of those lupins and your aquilegias.

    Oh Biita, your Lupins are just gorgeous!
    I love the rich purple ones. I've never seen any that color.
