Time for Euphorbia

In many a yard those starry flowers named Euphorbia bloom now beautifully... in Holland they're called " Kerstroos" in English I think they're called "Hellebore" 

It was another gorgeous Indian Summer's day; some took a swim. As long as there's no snow on the mountains here, the sea will be warm enough for a swim for another month of time. 

thank you all lots for all your reactions upon my recent blips! 
I know I'm not as much behind the pc for reacting upon all your entries... when the weather gets dull, I should manage better.
