It suddenly struck me as I thought about what to photos would display seasonal that our seasons are so different depending on where in the world we live and that my summer will not be the summer of eg someone from Greenland. I therefore am going to try and display for the seasonal prompt by Tina some of these differences with one from my part of the world, sub-tropical Queensland, and one from somewhere I’ve travelled.
As we are currently in summer this is where I’ll start.

We get most of our rainfall in the summer – often by afternoon storms that suddenly come from nowhere bringing a cooling down of a hot day.

Greenland in the height of summer never sees the hot days we do and still they look forward to winter because it is easier to get around via dog sledge.
Autumn

No autumn colours here but perhaps some good mushrooms will be found.

In Switzerland the leaves turn colour and fall.
Winter

There is always someone out on the water and these two spent much of winter swimming, sailing, fishing and learning to surf.

Not something one would do in winter in Germany.
Spring

I might not swim in the water in Spring but European guests have no trouble.

Spring in Europe sees the camping grounds deserted and nobody sitting around the pool let alone entering it.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
What an interesting set of photos, contrasting seasonal images from around the world. I especially love the one of the dramatic clouds flying over the beach.

It always intrigues me that the north are suffering extreme cold when we are hot and vice versa but having just been to Egypt in their autumn and experiencing temperatures that are our summer temperatures how different our seasons are also depending on where you live. And I believe that temperature has a lot to do with how we live in the world.
I love that cloud photo also. I was with someone on a walker that day and we left because we couldn’t run should the rain come down. Not a drop fell.

Very respectful of that cloud to wait till you were both sheltered.

Thanks Cubby. We experience seasons at different times but even those seasons are so different. As a poet the seasons probably have a third interpretation and can be experienced out of season.

Great idea, Irene to contrast the seasons. I love your shots here, but the ones at the beach are my favorites.
