July 2, 2012

Wow what an interesting day, weather wise: sun, heat, rain, more sun and thunder showers and more sun.  We went for a drive into Bridgewater and then to Liverpool and found a few things to photograph. It has been a while since I have tried my hand at photography so it was fun to see the colours and textures that are everywhere around us. Hope you enjoy.

Waterlilies...Monet would love these.

More waterlilies near LaBelle Road

Begonia, love the colour, so cheerful

This guy has the right of way.  He was being a good pedestrian and walking facing traffic

Decided to take a short cut?

Love colour on the deck

This rose bush doesn't ask for much

Celebrate Summer 2011

A few pictures of flowers in my garden and on the deck.  Great show of colour and this seems to be a good year for blooms.  Happy Canada Day to everyone celebrating the first long weekend of summer. 

Week Fourteen - My 2011 In Pictures

Just one picture this week. But I thought this was a great sign of spring. This is the first year that I noticed these little guys getting sun, I'm sure that is just an oversight on my part, but I thought they were worth a picture. Hope everyone enjoys.

Week Five - My 2011 in Pictures

I am getting a little tired of snow.  And there is more in the forecast, although 10 cm doesn't sound like much, when you get 10 cm every other day it does start to add up.  So not surprisingly my pictures this week are of snow and ice.  My week was full of meetings, snow and meetings canceled because of the snow.

Finally the puzzle is complete, it was a challenge but a great way to fill some snowy evenings.

After the last storm, off to inspect the neighbourhood...well at least the trees up the road

It was hard to find a white car in the white bank. A passenger might have some problems getting  in.

Poor old bear.  And the rhody that is beside him has vanished.

When the roads are plowed we get our paper, otherwise we have to go looking for it.

Icy, Icy

Reflections...enjoy the sun while it lasts.

Nature at Her Best

These pictures were taken along the LaHave River in Lunenburg County in Nova Scotia on Friday, May 21st. It was a beautiful day...the start of a fantastic weekend.

Great time of year

This is a wonderful time of year. The leaves are so fresh and green, the flower beds are full of colour and the air smells like spring.

Nature's Beauty

The rough beauty of the angry ocean beaconed on Sunday afternoon. This picture was taken mid afternoon after Hurricane Bill passed the coast of Nova Scotia and blew its way to Newfoundland. The waves were high and in spots washed over roads and washed out a couple of causeways, but all in all the storm was a gentler version of what we were told to expect...and that is a very good thing.
