July.

July is a summer month in all respects, and now we must move on to August. August is a vacation month, the month we're you realize that you have too many things happening, and you wish desperately that you could go back to July. For us this year, its the other way around, and I look forward to a semi relaxing August, because, honestly, there are still things going on.

But July is a brave month, and I feel we should bid a respectful farewell.

July.

Joy
Unique
Lemonade
You gotta love it!!

Farewell July. You were a wonderful month.

 

Rain.

Writing poetry about rain is hard, but it is still one of my favorite subjects. Capturing the actual feeling of it is a challenge I enjoy.

5 Minute Rain.

Wind,
drives saltless tears
like fists
into pavement.
Pounding,
pouring rage
into a thunderous
drone.
Bounces on
impact,
shocked by its
failure.
It tries,
and tries
again.

After the Rain.

 

Damp

hangs like

dead breath

in the air.

Feathers rustle,

lost in leaves

and

branches.

A voice rings out,

a shrilling tone of

rebirth.

 

 

Caught by Rain.

 

Bars of water

imprison

the lost.

Unsuspecting,

they walked,

jerked back by the

the shock

and joy

of wet.  

 

 

Photography.

Recently I have discovered a deep and profound love for photography, and using our brand new, super top quality camera(well at least the best I've had!), I have taken many a picture.
I love to photograph birds, plants, and Alex. One of my fav subjects is a robin I have named Glipper. He is identifiable by the fleck of white under his right wing.
These are not all of my pics, trust me.

A rock.

Behold, Glipper.

Starling.

A warbler, I think its a Black and Yellow warbler.

White throated sparrow. Mom's fav bird.

Alex. Shortly after I took this pic, he fell in the water.

Glipper with worms.

Glipper still with worms.

Behold the epic-ness of Daley.

This is a pic of a stream, but all you can see is the reflection of the trees above.

 

Contemplating life.

 

Happy Canada Day!

I did a ski camp this past weekend, and it only just wrapped up at lunch today, so I am really, really, tired. Not much is happening today. But I am a Patriotic Canadian, and will honor our country as best as is my capability.

My way is to take pictures of the amazing day we have today. It is sweltering out. We also got a snazzy new camera, so I was excited to test it out.

The view of the bay from our house.

Its so nice out!!!

This picture was really cool.
