Veer's challenge was the inspiration for this page. Thanks Veer, I enjoyed it.

All Anna Aspnes products on this page. I blended a few artsy pages together from the Hackneyed and Inclement palettes and used a Fotoblendz from a Beach Template. The flower is one of the MultiMedia Flowers. Also used a few different brushes to erase parts of the photo and other layers. A very useful technique which I picked up from Anna's Year of ArtPlay videos.

Poem is an extract from Amy Lowell's poem 'Summer'.

And it is summer,
glorious, deep-toned summer,
The very crown of nature's changing year
When all her surging life is at its full.
To me alone it is a time of pause,
A void and silent space between two worlds,
When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps,
Gathering strength for efforts yet to come.
