Ruby Tuesday

Take a nice warm evening in the park, a bandstand and a lively band.
The band is called Los Amigos, a mexican band.

The lively beat of the band brings out the kids, who love to dance!!!

These three kids I am sure have taken lessons before. They really had rhythum.

And if you are lucky enough you will get some airtime of your own!!

The sign of a good band is how many get out there and dance!

Mellow Yellow Macro Monday!!


When you look at Dandilion Puffs up close and personal, they are actually quite fascinating!



I still don't like to see them in my grass but they are fascinating to take photos of.

Critters and Flowers



Rhododendroms on thier last few days, its kind of sad when we wait all year to see certain flowers, and they are at the end of their seasons. We wait again until next year.
Butterflies are out though, a beautiful and fleeting moment caught.

Pink Fuchias for you as well!!
Go and check out the above websites for more examples of flowers and critters!!!

Skywatch Friday

It's amazing how much difference a day can make to a sky scene.
Cloudy, grey rainy sky and then not 24 hours later a blue sunny sky.
Both photos taken from the same spot!

Watery Wednesday

We have had a very late spring/summer season this year. It has been cool, cloudy with more than the usual rain day in and day out. It even snowed in the mountain passes as late as a couple of weeks ago. The cooler weather has meant that the snow packs are slower to melt and with the increased rain we have had, we are having flooding conditions. Here are some SOOC pictures for you taken the other day down at the bottom of the Mission bridge.
These trees are actually on the berm above where the water line should be. There is a road under that water too.


The Slow sign actually is on the side of the road. The water level should be way over to the right.

Turnaround area at the end of the road. I guess for boats right now!

You can almost see the road under the water!

Its not safe to try and walk in the water. The river is the Fraser River and its especially dangerous when it is flooding.

The Mission Bridge spans the Fraser River and connects Abbotsford and Mission.

Thank Goodness for Friday

I watched for about an hour trying to catch Mama Bird actually feeding Baby Bird but she was so quick that by the time I got ready to take the picture she was gone of flying away like she is here. Baby bird wants her back too!
