Managed to catch bath time at the falls, Canada Goose style.
Bath Time
Tag: summer
Summer Delights
The heat of summer, typically fuels our wandering impulses. A spontaneous drive to the beach, or a weekend up north. Now that coronavirus has reined us in, we search seasonal delight closer to home: roses in the garden, the emerald green of farm fields, and the leisurely hunt of a furry fisherman.

Summer Buzz
Summer, I hold you in my heart
even as the trees stand bare
having shed their Autumn garbs
The glow of green still buzzes
carries me through the cold
a promise worth the wait.

Garden in Transition
Summer’s legacy
fades – floral memories blur
Fall hues incoming.

Water, Water!
A Trip To the Beach
As the temperature rises we are drawn to nearby shores, for a patio lunch overlooking the water.
Merely observers now – the sun a threat to aging skin, and the sand too difficult to navigate – we are content to people watch.
Impossible to capture the entirety of our view in one shot, so I settle instead for the details.
A trio of boats just off shore:
Beachgoers gathered beneath a tree:
An antique car and driver cruising by:
Satiated with good food and a satisfying view, we journey home, my camera buzzing.

A Dog Knows
A trip to the river never fails to surprise –
this dog with life-jacket caught my eyes.
Ready, he was, to set off downstream,
happily dependent on his human team.
(Lens-Artists have left their weekly challenge open – the perfect chance to share this sweet photo story with you.)
Weekend Angles
Summer cruising reveals many angles –
front yard sales – what’s used is new again.
Lakeside patios – the best of the season –
good food, and live entertainment too.

To Brighten Your Day
Remember lush days,
pops of purple in summer’s
blessed vibrancy?
(For Cee’s Flower of the Day. Â We are on the road right now, no guarantee of photos, so I’m submitting this one from brighter days.)
Photo a Week: Ready…
Set…Go!
Ready, set, go:
I miss summer already!
Thank you to Nancy Merrill for this week’s photo challenge: Â Ready, set, action.
