While looking around for the waterfall Lisine, a nice summer stroll took me in another direction. It was a nice, leisurely stroll in good company on a hot, enjoyable summer day. This little one went away to share happy memories.

The blue house in Burnaby

On the Cuban beach

Rhododendrons

Every year in May there is a Rhododendron Festival in my city. With bursts of every colour and shade they announce that spring will soon turn into summer. This painting shows a secluded, shaded area of a park brought to life by sunlight and rhododendron blossoms.
