Friday cloud blogging on a Saturday

Lines in the sky.

Colour of summer

Soon it will be gone again.

Trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

Wake up, you lazy dreamers!
The summer's waiting you,
The days are long and golden;
The skies are tender blue.
The earth is full of gladness,
Of light and song and bloom,
Join in the summer brightness,
Nor ever think of gloom.
- An extract from Lucy Maud Montgomery's poem June!

Friday cloud blogging

Hairy Woodpecker on a dead tree in the swamp at Jack Pine trail. 

I always have trouble identifying Hairy vs Downy Woodpeckers. Based on this site [link] I think this is a Hairy, as Hairy Woodpeckers have longer and pointier bills and a more pronounced black marking from shoulder to breast than Downy Woodpeckers.

Have a good weekend everyone - it's a long one for us. Here's hoping it's not too hot and those in need of rain get some (Andi).

Happy Canada Day!

Cheery colours of summer

Water ripples and reflections

Looking down has its benefits too. :D

Friday cloud blogging: Colours of the sky

This is a project I've been working on for some time -- capturing the colours of the sky, both with and without clouds. Here are a bunch for Friday Cloud Blogging.

Green feathers

Green Laceleaf Japanese Maple.







Acer palmatum dissectum 'Viridis'

Peonies

From my garden.

New leaves

Finally!



Beautiful, soft, new leaves.



Green.

Yellow.

Peach.



Still some brown, but just the right amount.



:D

It's a dangerous business going out your door.

It's a dangerous business going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.
- J.R.R. Tolkien

Much better to stay in bed.



Ha!
