NOTHING TOO EXCITING HAPPENING AROUND HERE

As you will see by the photos I have been grasping at straws ..............

Each time I see the dog

and cat sleeping

side by side

I run for my camera

One morning I sat in my Grandmother's

wicker chair

Camera in hand

with the long lens attached

I was entertained by the finches

A red winged blackbird waiting for me

to leave my spot

This American goldfinch

was picking at the flowers

My cardinal comes to feed

morning and evening

As I was sitting in the chair

I heard a bird call

that I was not familiar with

I believe this is a

Baltimore Oriole

(Female)

The gardens are still beautiful

however

you can tell summer

is half over

Another morning

Another snuggle

Late Sunday afternoon

on Lake Huron

SURPRISE!!!!

Yesterday we were eating mussels

and

look what we found in a mussel!

The mussels came from

Prince Edward Island

This star fish is a long way from home

Here is a closer look

I should clarify myself

THEY WERE EATING MUSSLES

I did try one

It was

OK

The starfish is now

in our garden

along with the shells

A tall ship went by yesterday

It is always exciting to see

the ol' ships go by

Today is a beautiful day

the humidity has gone

and

we have wonderful breezes

It's lovely!
