Hi, kids!
Thank you to the anonymous donor that
left me the envelope containing box tops for education, for Miss Meiya. If you
let me know who you are, you WILL be thanked properly!
My photo computer died Friday and some
considerable time was spent getting another in usable condition. Thanks to Jim
Samsel for the donation of his old computer to the cause and also to my Jim for
swapping hard drives and ram. The good news? I am back in
business!
Much needed rain fell this weekend and
the countryside is tinged with green, already! We are all glad of it and maybe
the dust won't swirl so fiercely next time the wind blows.
Now, on to the
report!
Backlit buds.
Blowzy blossoms.
(I spied this apple tree covered in
bright pink blossoms last week, as stopped to shoot it. Today, that entire yard
is stripped bare to the ground and the glorious is tree laying in a heap.
Apparently misfortune befell that homeowner and their water or sewer was dug
up. This is the last time that tree will
bloom!)
Always love the rising sun on a cloudy
day.
Paddling perfection.
I raced along the bank trying to capture
the "perfect" shot of them as they sliced through the calm
water.
I was stunned to see the reflection of
the bridge in the water. The river is rarely calm enough to see this or perhaps
it's like my duck pond? (I didn't notice it before...)
One evening, I spied the 'road less
traveled', under fat clouds.
A coworker and his family were fishing a
bit farther down the road. I stopped to visit and was shown this patterned
bug.
Duck quartet.
How the term "horsing around" came to
be...
WINDY day, when whitecaps are seen on the
river.
Henny Penny
Fierce...
One little....
Two little....
Three little ....mule deer.
Cirrus or cumulus? (My college
meteorology class hasn't done me much good, has it?)
'Stealth' red wing black
bird.
Lone soldier....
Serenity.
Dew kissed grasses I
Dew kissed grasses II- (Couldn't decide
which I like best.)
Misty morning.
