Hello!
This morning I thought it’d be nice to revisit summer … or imagine a future summer – so today’s theme is:
a walk in the summer
The Trentino part of Lake Garda, where I live isn’t very wide. It’s the smallest length of the lake in fact. Well-known to the German and Austriansurfers for the afternoon wind called the “ora” that comes up from the south they flock to the area from the beginning of May on into September. In the morning the wind is all but absent, or perhaps it comes down from the valley towards the lake. Ah, but when the afternoon wind picks up, the surfers (and now recently the kite-surfers – but only in certain areas) run to their boards and hit the lake.
All along the lake front there is a paved walkway sometimes shared with bicycles. The picture below was taken from that lakefront walkway between Riva del Garda and Torboli (where Goethe spent a couple of days during his tour in Italy).
If you’d like to participate, but are inspired by something different – that’s fine by me – to participate with me this month you can link your haiga post in this Mr. Linky app:
You may want to tag as well (Bastet’s One Month of Haiga).
Have a great day! Bastet!

Lovely cara!!! summer delight…I am not sure I can afford a month of haiga this month though but an excellent for your birthday month:)
Thanks Oli .. glad you enjoy the post – if you can make it now and again that would be splendid, but there’s no worry if you can’t … hugs!
I enjoyed reading about your part of the world. I had no idea people could surf on a lake. As it is summer over here I would love to write about taking a walk here. It is now sunset on the 3rd and I am too tired to write now so it will have to be done in the morning.
Hi Suzanne .. yes one surfs with a sail! I used to wind-surf myself in my younger years, though never really proficient in the sport. You most certainly can write about your summer … you lucky dog! 😉
I’ve been trying. Its been an odd summer – hot, dry and crowded with tourists. Too much traffic on the roads. Hard to write about. It rained last night for the first time in a couple of months. I might write abiyr that – summer rain canbe a blessing.
It rained here also yesterday .. the first time in quite a while. I live in an oasis of sorts created by Lake Garda .. so although we’re on the footsteps of the Alps we have a warmer climate than any other place in this area … which is why we have lemons, palms and olives etc which just cant cope with the cold. Hope the rain relieved you .. that sort of heat is very hard on people.
Wow. What a lovely place it must be.
It really is …
I feel like we haven’t had Winter here. Must admit it’s been a bit boring except for one snow storm and yesterday’s tornado watch! 😉 I would love to visit Italy, especially after your description! Be back with my offering.
Georgia, I think there might be a mix-up with Mr. Linky. It takes me to a link but it calls it “Weekend Reflections” not Bastet’s month of haiga. Thanks.
No that’s not a problem … I use the free Mr. Linky and so it goes by the name of an already registered link app .. it’s the same for MLMM 😉
Got it! 🙂

I made a post in response to your prompt – it’s about a walk I took today in a very different environment . It was so different I am still processing the experience so the post reflects that. I can’t find your Mr Linky again sorry. http://artifactsandfictions.com/2016/02/04/walking-the-time-lines/
I read your post and went back to it as well … beautiful!The Mr. Linky is always in that little still-life image that is just after the haiga image. I’ve checked it and it works 😉
Ok. I’ll look out for it in future. Thanks 🙂
🙂
I put your link up on the Mr Linky – hope you don’t mind.
That’s great – thanks 🙂

Saw this yesterday and decided to link up with something I made a while ago. Hope people like it. Again, serious incisive criticism is invited and welcomed. Thanks for the opportunity.
I think it’s splendid. I’d never thought to do a haiga like this … very original .. combining cut-out poetry with haiku – really fascinating.
Oh! I’m sorry, I linked the wrong post! The link leads to MMLM. Apologies. Herewith the correct link please: https://pviljoen.wordpress.com/2015/12/12/haiga/
No problem … Do you want me to remove it?
Yes, please do. The Linky thing already lists a previous post so I just pressed the button without checking first.
Oh dear … I can’t remove a link from Mr. Linky … only from the comments I’m terribly sorry, I thought you were referring to the comments .. but those are the haiga.
Oh well. Will be more careful next time what I link to whose site. 🙂
I write with MLMM as you know and we use the same Mr. Linky connection (weekend reflections) butI’ve noticed that if I go onto any Mr. Linky link-up, my name is already up with a link ready to fire … so it’s happened to me as well to find my post linked up in the wrong place. So sorry again.
Not your fault. 🙂 One just has to be alert, is all.
