Project 52 - Water Play



This house has been in a complete upheaval while we paint the entire house, so I totally missed last week's prompt of Play while my entire computer was cowering under sheets of plastic, stacked in the middle of the room. Right now the front door is being painted, and as far as I know I think it is the last thing to be done. We will get the house back!

I combined both last week and this week's prompts into Water Play for this weeks photos.

These were taken at White Rock beach on a stormy day. Water was full of waves and white caps and as far as I was concerned not fit for me to dip my toes in, but for some men and certain beasts it was a riot!

It was hard for him to pull the sail up and keep it up without just blowing over to the other side, but eventually he managed and went skimming along the waves.

This dog knew his red ball was somewhere in the waves!

Got it!!

Back to the shore to his buddies.

So cold on this day, I am surprised I could keep my camera steady enough without the shivering!

This gentleman was loosening the leash on his dog's collar seconds before his dog went into the ocean for a cool swim!

It was a cool, windy wavy day at the beach. That dog was crazy for going into that cold water!

Skywatch Friday

I still am waiting to see how many pictures my Hubby can retrieve off my crashed hard drive. These are a few I still had on my camera chip when the Drive crashed.

This is in Clayburn Village on the outskirts of the village in the farm area.

It was a cloudy and gloomy grey day when these were taken.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY

We have had some pretty wicked weather lately, things like rain, hail, snow, sleet, thunder and lightning and wind all in one morning!

Yesterday, they were predicting a wind storm with warmer temperatures so I had to get out and take some photos and try and walk in the wind! Wind speed was recorded up to 96 Kilometers an hour or close to 60 miles per hour. And the light got sweet!

This is Willband Creek, a natural wetlands bird sanctuary.

The pools of water were partially frozen, and the grasses are dead looking and brown.

This is home to a lot of different birds, swans, geese, ducks and a line of seagulls.

So, I am trying to take a photo of a lone park bench, trying to stand still in gale force winds and decided to give it up so turned around and saw these scenes. The sky was stormy, the light was sweet and I snapped these photos.

Skywatch Friday

 The Clouds Were Rolling! The Sky was Stormy!

Driving home from work today, the drama in the sky was slowly unfolding before my eyes, but there wasn't  any place to pull over for about ten minutes to take pictures. It's rare too, that I have a camera with me in the car so all I lacked was the parking spot.

The reddened fields below the sky are Blueberry plants. I love the red of the leaves.

The irrigation system of the fields is noticeable here.

If I could of found a spot to pull over ten minutes before these photos were taken, you would of seen an even more incredible set of cloudy sky photos.

The light was sweeter, the rays of sun were shining down. It was amazing.
