Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

In 1963, Nat King Cole released his hit song,
Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.
 Lazy referred to those hot summer days before air conditioning,
hazy meant humid, and crazy was just the playful
innocence of youth in the summertime.

Scenes on Switzerland’s…

 

Lake Lucerne in 2016.

Like wise in June 2023 sunbathers enjoying

the sun in Copenhagen.

Both days were not that hot in our opinion

 

On the other hand…

December 15 , 2015 at Sydney’s…

 

…Manly Beach was hot.

Although it does not appear all that orange,

it’s not a bad image, to begin with.

Orange Marigolds alongside the Prince’s Highway

at Killarney in South West Victoria.

Follow the highway in either direction and you

will eventually end up back where you

commenced your drive.

 

My eyes tell me his dahlia is orangish.

Initially, I thought this fish was made of mandarins.

A closer look and they appear more like small pumpkins

citrus sinensis

also known as the sweet oranges,
is a commonly cultivated family of oranges
that includes blood oranges and navel oranges.

I am uncertain if it is only a colour challenge

or if samples of oranges are required.

Therefore I have mixed it up a bit…

 

…and included some fruit and

some simple colours.

 

Our little orange tree does not produce

very good fruit for eating.

Inner Melbourne is home

to this image.

 

I captured this image at Rigi, near Lucerne, Switzerland.

  It took quite a while before I realised that these

were not oranges and looked more like pumpkins.

Whatever they are, I have no idea if they were real or artificial.

 

While speaking of pumpkins…

I would really struggle to find any bikini-clad

sun lovers in Victoria this time of year.

However, I as in Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne

I’m sure there would be plenty

soaking up the sun as this group did.
