Project 52 - Harvest/Autumn



One of our local farm markets where we buy fresh vegetables, meats and dairy. I don't have my own garden but love to buy seasonal and fresh groceries from the markets.

This particular farm has a petting zoo for kids to the side of the market. A Pumpkin field across the street as well.

Project 52 - Happy



One of the things I am happy doing is feeding birds. This set of pictures was taken at Campbell Lake Park in Aldergrove.

Feels so cool to have these tiny birds land on your hand. Thier little feet tickle when they hold on!

These little guys must be used to having people feed them. They were not afraid to come and land on your hand to have a bite to eat.

When my Dad was alive he loved to go out and feed birds. He wasn't particular about any kinds of birds to be fed, he would feed them all.

When we went over to Victoria to visit we would go out with him and feed birds.

It brings back good memories to go and feed the birds.

I really enjoyed this day of feeding birds with my Hubby. It made both of us very happy! It was a good day.

Gerber Daisies

My daughter was here visiting for a week and on her last evening here brought me a bucket of Gerber daisies home from her best friend Mandy's place. Mandy's family grows Gerbers in a huge greenhouse and supply the flowers to stores all over the mainland.

I didn't even have enough vases for all of them, so mason jars etc work fine to hold this bounty!

I couldn't even begin to pick my favorite colour of Gerbers. I love them all. How can you not be happy with a house full of Gerbers!

I even like the back end of them, although my hubby doesn't quite get that!

 

Sunshine in a flower!

I love the back of flowers as well. I think we don't always look at the whole picture. Turn something over and you have a whole new perspective!

A little artwork!

Hope you enjoyed my flowers. I simply had to share them with you all!



Garden Finds

My daughter is in town for a couple of days and on one of the days we went out for lunch at Tanglebank, which is a huge nursery and garden with a newly built bistro. We wandered around the gardens and I took these two photos while we walked.

These roses were gorgeous, sad they won't be around in a short while.

Abbotsford Airshow

Every year we wait for the second August weekend for the Abbotsford Airshow. This is the 30th year for the Airshow and even though we never actually go the airshow, we weren't going to miss it! Our friends, Janice and Frank live on a large farm a couple miles from the airport and that was where we went to see the show.

Hubby and I are not one for big crowds and hot tarmac so we don't actually like going to the airport for it.

We sat outside in thier front yard, and watched the planes, while having a good visit, a bit of wine and shade from thier big oak trees to rest in away from the heat. It is one of Summer's favorite things to do!

These are the American Thunderbirds, flying in formation.

 

Loved watching the jetstreams as they flew in formation!

This particular formation is in honour of the fallen soldiers. The lone plane flying away from the formation signifies those fallen soldiers.

Starburst formation breakaway. They all fly in formation and then all break away in different directions with jetstream going.

You can see in the background the hazy Mt. Baker.

A few more of the different war planes flying.

I think this is a Spitfire, but I am not certain.

Fighter Jet and a Warplane flying in formation.

Some arieal acrobatics!

Comox Search and Rescue Plane.

I caught a photo of the afterburners on this Jet as he flew past us.

This guy was low and loud!

These photos are all straight out of the Camera (SOOC)

We missed the Canadian Snowbirds but are thinking of going back tomorrow to Janice and Frank's place and catching them as well.
