Thank you, dear Inda and dear Gisele, for your loving replies. It feels good to be back here with you.
If Summer wasn't perfect, may Autumn be spectacular and warm!
All my love,
Margherita
ps today I was back to the lake and I saw such a wonderfully peaceful scene: a family of swans, father, mother and three young ones were swimming right in front of the house and they came to relax on the small beach. It was lovely to observe them. Sadly I didn't have the camera with me ... but I have it in my mind!
here a picture that is similar, but the baby-swans were three and a little bigger
