The heat is on.... yuck!

It is hot and muggy here and it's only now just starting to cool off for the night, thank goodness!  Sorry for not posting in a while.  I was extremly ill with a bad flu and am still recovering.  Slowly my energy is returning, and i have been getting some fresh air.  And of course, the camera is at my side.  This time, a good friend of mine lent me a Sony DSC-F828.  This camera was a bit intimidating for me, especially compared to my Nikon Coolpix, which i love!!  The first 20 or so pictures with the Sony were not what i wanted - i just couldn't get a good shot.  I tried again later, and as i became more relaxed with it, i got some pretty nice shots. 

These pictures are of my weekend at the beach, Saturday and Sunday.  It was a mixture of temperatures:  rain, thunder, amazing shows lightning, lots of sun, and most off all lots of heat and mugginess.  Ah, the joys of summer! 

Hugs!

Blueberries already?  They are early....

Can you see the rainbow?  What a sight :)

New discoveries

Very hot day today.  The minute I got home from work, my son begged to go to the lake.  So after dinner, and a small power snooze, we headed off to the lake.  I had planned on laying on the beach, watch my son and his friend have fun in the water, and try to get some reading done.  Well of course, my wondering eye spotted a flower it had never seen before.  Before you know it, I was snapping away, and discovered more new flowers.  I was in heaven! 

We get so busy with our lives, our jobs, and everyday things that we don't often take the time to admire the small things around us, the small wonders mother nature has given us.

Have a great week,

Canada Day long weekend

Happy Belated Canada Day!  What a beautiful weekend to celebrate our country's birthday!  The weather was perfect - sun was shinning, nice breeze, just perfect.  I was lucky to catch this beautiful sunset on my way home Saturday  night.  I was driving with my son, and I had to pull over to the side of the road, it was too pretty to pass.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I loved taking them.

P.S..... A Happy 4th of July to all my American friends :)

hugs,
