O Summer, Where Art Thou?

Dear weather,

I really like you, and appreciate your change of season. It breaks monotony of life. However, I've been thinking lately about how uncomfortably cold it's getting, how I can't feel anything with gloves on, how bulky layers are, how gloomy the sky looks, and, most importantly, how the sun sets at 5. I think I'm ready for longer, warmer days, for a nice evening walk, for a good tennis match.

I'd like to see trees dressed again.



I'd even like to see moss climbing their trunks.



I'd like to see vines blanketing walls.



I'd like to see fountains full of life.



I'd like to see the sun shining.


So please consider warming yourself up.

Thank you,
Nadia Qasmieh

I took these pictures in Ottawa, ON, summer 2008.

  1. It is interesting how people always desire what they don't have. When I used to live in Toronto, I used to always wish for the summer to come - to escape the unfriendly, bone-chilling cold. Now, living in Saudi Arabia, God how much I crave the -5; the nice night-walks with a timhortons in hand, and snow flakes falling gently on you.

    I guess for now, I have to continue capitalizing on the one or two days a year, when it gets cloudy here, by putting my car's A/C on extra high

    Cheers
