Eye Catchers

Almost anywhere I wander, I'm lucky enough to be surrounded with wonderful things which catch my eye. Scroll down and I'll share a few of them with you.



After a rainfall on a windy day, this simple oak leaf, with all of its water droplets, looked so pretty to me.




Once the rain ended, the sky slowly cleared. This was how the sun looked when it found a hazy break in the clouds above. I thought it looked a bit like a full moon but it was early afternoon. And I wasn't drinking.




While walking one evening, I glanced down to see these green leaves and an older rusty leaf laying in such a way that reminded me of a cartoon carrot. This time, I'd only had a bit to drink. Can you see it?




All around my pond, the wild chicory is in bloom. It's such a simple, yet lovely flower.




Earlier in July, we had a few rainy days followed by some lush vegetation growth - including these mushrooms.




The early morning sunlight creates long shadows when it dances on this row of trees standing tall like sentinels to the pond below.




On a hot, humid day, there's nothing like a bit of ice to cool you down.




Like looking into a crystal ball, you can see much of my surroundings in this bubble. It only lasted a few seconds before Benny jumped and took a bite out of it.




Late day sunlight illuminated this otherwise darkened berry branch. Gotta love the colours of summer.

Thanks for joining me. I hope my eye-catchers were pleasing to you too.

This was a scheduled post. If all goes according to plans, we're probably back up at the cottage for a few days. I'll be around to read comments and catch up with your blog posts shortly after I return.
