Macro Monday

It seems that in the last couple of weeks of August, summer is finally showing itself here. I can't remember a cooler, grayer summer than this one. I thnk we had about three nice days in the whole month of July and August has been much the same until this week. Today is the first time I turned my fan on inside the house to move around the humid air.

As for cooling off, I could but won't eat a gallon of this stuff! Ice cream screams summer and for the moments of eating it, cools you down.

Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream hits the spot!

Skywatch Friday

The fair in town and some of the rides at the fair against a darkening sky.

Watery Wednesday

I am back home from my out of town holiday and I had a wonderful time. We went to a lot of different places I have never been before, ate lots of good food and had good visits with family. I have lots of photos that are still on my camera and will get them off to the computer in the next couple of days. I have my son visiting here and my daughter will be here on the weekend so I will still be busy. Have to get my share of them now while they are visiting before they go back home and I won't see them again until next time.

I am leaving in the morning on a road trip with my Sister and Brother in Law. We are heading home for them to Alberta and for me to see my kids that also live in Alberta. I have a couple of weeks off and will try to post from thier house as well. It is at least a 16 hour straight through drive, but we will be stopping here and there. I plan on taking lots of photos along the way. The scenery is wonderful.

We have lots of things planned, people to visit and places to see. We will be busy!

I have to be back next Wednesday to home for an appointment but not back to work for the rest of that week. The plans so far are that both my kids will be out next week to our house so the visit will continue!

These little figurines were spyed at a garden store we visited yesterday. I thought they were cute enough to tell you all about my absence!!

Hope you all are enjoying your summer!!

Happy Trails.....

Camera Critters

A sitting duck!

Like the saying goes be careful or you might find yourself being a sitting duck.

This duck actually was lame, one of its webbed feet being injured in the past and now a permanent injury. We watched her as she brought up her babies throughout the spring and now here by herself. It really looks painful for her when she trys to walk. She sure can scoot away fast though when you try and get close to her.
