Down By The River


With above average temperatures again, 
not much is going on in my world. 
A short walk along the river was managable.


Do you see me?

A flyby
Great Blue Heron

Hot & Humid Days In July

It's been so hot here for the last week,
 (35-42C which is 93-106F), 
that I haven't gone out of the house!

I took a couple of pics through the window.

Male Goldfinch

The resident Cottontail

I have air conditioning in my studio, so... I painted this.

Leftovers Again

I haven't been travelling very far from home. A trip to the grocery store, and a meander down the aisles of my favourite art supply store, (resulting in major acquisitions). So, I am sharing some photos of what's been going on in my yard the past week.

A chipmunk scrounging.

Leftovers -Around The Yard

Some leftover shots from around the yard.



My favourite "wildflower". 
Most people think of dandelions as weeds, 
but I think of them as flower food for bees.


A pretty in pink bachelor button.


Nirbert, one of my garden gnomes got a new paint job!


You are never too old to blow bubbles...then take a picture of one!


A Blue Jay, keeping an eye on...


The yard guard, my dog Merfy.

Duck Shoot


A Mallard duck photo shoot at the lake.
I love ducks, they always look so happy


Male and female juvenile ducks look a lot like adult females.




Beak colour is the most reliable way to sex juvenile mallards. Males have greenish-yellow bills, while females sport orange bills with black splotches.

S'mores



sharing with...
 
~ ~ ~ ~
edited : for those who asked,
S'mores are- roasted marshmallows (over a campfire), sandwiched between two graham crackers and a slab of chocolate. The hot roasted marshmallow melts the chocolate, making the whole thing a sweet gooey mess! A must have at every campfire. The name comes from, can I have some more - (S'more).
