Summer Time in Richmond

Heat... humidity.. that's Richmond from about  June through October! But it's really a nice time of the year. I love to walk around Monument Ave and the Fan and some of the nearby parks. What I love most about  Richmond in the summer are the sounds of the crickets and the bull frogs, and the smells of boxwood and magnolias which frolic in the landscape of the city.  The magnolia trees give out a wonderful smell, in particular. They deck the streets with the most fragrant of blossoms.


                                       This is what our Magnolias look like:

                     An Old Greek Revival Home on Franklin Street



                                          A church on a steamy moonlight night



                                   A typical Richmond house from the 19th Century

                                             





                Many Richmonders grow palm trees in the front or back yards as well as elephant ears.




                                A University of Richmond garden in full bloom


                                               More Magnolia trees for the eyes

                                      Some Kudzu at Hollywood Cemetery

The River Walk Downtown                                       


I enjoy a steamy stroll down any Richmond thoroughfare. Summers in Richmond are under starry skies with lots of fun things to do. I plan to take more pictures of the city  soon.
