End of Day...

Sun fled fast the first night we were there...but even thou it tipped past the tree's and refused to shine its golden light on the scene, it did take a moment as it edged the horizon to lace the sky in lovely tips of colour....deepened in reflections too.
Man, lucky to live there all the time!

Down by the Bay....


not sure if watermelons grow here or not, but it's the bay our friends live on at Mississippi Lake about 15 min's from our house.

Jade in Sunset


After being a busy girl all day exploring, and some lake dabbling, our little Jack Russell pauses (ya, they do stop now and then) to look out over the water. Hey Jade, whatcha looking at?

MMMMMMM Milkweeeeeeddddd!


My contribution to the 'fluff' gallery this year.
Walked down the road tonight to get a shot of the fluffies on the ground, kinda randomly laying there (and it's gonna rain tomorrow)...
and of course had to try a few 'up close and personal' ones too

Summer Fun w Friends....

How to catch fish....on the fly
How to paddle ever so silently that you CAN catch a fish....

Copper


This one is from some shots last year. I posted the deeply coloured one, where it shot purple and blue... I don't think I posted the original, here it is.

The View from Here


From at the cottage, looking out at the water....

At the Lake


Same Lake, same day. See below.

Serenity..thy name is....


Thanksgiving at the cottage. Just outside Notre Dame de la Solette outside of Buckingham, Quebec. About 1.5 hr drive from home, thru downtown Ottawa and out the other side for a bit....

The shore is flat and straight. This is a series of shots stitched together to make a panorama.

Now, I see it's flaws, but OMG its so pretty!

Can I even hope to do it justice here? Shrunk it down to manageable size of 800 pixels wide...but ouch, 10% of what it was....just over 9000 when stitched.
Let me know if you wanna see it bigger...

Red Barn


Tucked away over the hill just a bit. The barley field in front. Very close to my home.
