Finally…the rain came. So what did I do when I saw the clouds out early in the morning? I grabbed an umbrella, my camera and went for a walk. Walking in the rain is always a special kind of treat. This wasn’t one of those scary storms, this was just an early morning rain storm…

Summer has come to an end.
And what a summer it was. You know sometimes I look around and think about all this beauty I am seeing and I’m amazed by it all…do you guys see it? I hope you do, I really do. “Oh yeah that?…yes…there is some pretty ugly going on with those screens, that is true”. But if…
An early morning swap meet visit.
One morning I got up super early and headed out to one of my favorite swap meets here in the city. I took my camera with me and took all kinds of colorful photos. You can always find something interesting at the swap meets to practice taking photos with. Swaps meets are a great place…
In the garden…smiling flowers everywhere.
Our sunflowers have finally popped up to say hello. We planted them in a different location this time. They are facing our French Doors that lead outside to our back yard. Every morning when I open up the windows I now have a view of rows and rows of Sunflowers everywhere. It’s really nice waking…
Grocery shopping for the bees.
June is all about our pollinating friends, so I thought it would be fun to share some photos of all the beautiful flowers I saw at one of my favorite local garden shops. I did a post like this last year as well. I always take photos when visiting gardens because I get some of…
Taking a walk with the bees.
It’s been so beautiful out there lately, the perfect weather. I walked down to the used bookstore today, checking in to see what new books they got in. On the way to the store I stopped to check out all the wildflowers everywhere. The walk there is lined with all kinds of flowers and plants….
A whole bunch of sea shells.
On this Memorial Day I thought I pull out something from the past that is a treasure from my father-in law who served in the military years ago. What I’m about to share is a rare one. We have a huge collection of shells that were passed down to us from my brother in law/father-in-law….
The Sugar Gum Tree.
I discovered something the other day, I mean learned something new that is. It’s about a certain kind of tree. The first time I came across this tree was on one of my early morning walks through a cemetery. There are all kinds of huge mature trees through out this peaceful cemetery. The tombs go…
Day three after the storm.
When this is posted it will actually be day 4 , and this post will be my last storm update post. I wanted to share with everyone what a Winter storm looks like. I should have taken some photos of the piles and piles of dirty snow being made into tiny little snow mountains all…
Day two after the storm.
We went out, and let me tell you….trying to find a good parking spot and walking around ice is not such an easy thing . I want to experience the whole thing. So…after three days of the city salting and clearing most roads, and with temps warming up to melt the snow, we went out…
