O Dear Reader,

Why does summer which is supposed to feel slow and lazy sometimes feel so racing and frantic? Instead of writing you a long newsletter I offer you here a soft lake of images to languidly immerse yourself in. I hope you will take a swig of coke, watch some dragonflies and find the vacation inside yourself waiting here somewhere at center of year.
