Sunlight and Shadow, Albert Bierstadt, 1862

This also strikes me as very summery. Perhaps it is because when strolling around St. Augustine years ago on a sunny day we would quickly head for anywhere looking like this so we could get a little shade. It looks cool and peaceful. Perhaps there are a few cicadas shrilling away in that tree and a few birds calling or hopping just out of sight looking for insects. I'm going to sit down here for awhile before moving on.
