The Rain, the Park and Other Things

I've been away from my own computer for over a week now but should be heading home pretty soon. I hope to be back to a more normal blogging visit schedule but I can't say for sure. This summer will be one of running around, touching base here and there. I'll probably have a few more details about that as the season progresses.

The following photos were taken over the past month. I hope you enjoy them.


purple
There's an Alice Walker quote I like which says "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." I sure don't want to piss anyone off so when I saw this beautiful purple bloom, I had to stop and snap this shot.


hilly road
This was the view when Frank and I were on our way home after a mini trip north.



feather reflection
A short while later, the blue skies clouded over and the rain began.



robin watch2
Of course, rain is good for the earth, particularly at this time of the year. This robin is waiting patiently for a worm to appear - or so it might seem.



rubber boots
It's good for providing puddles for little one to stomp in.



fav spot
It's also good to keep ponds at full capacity and to encourage the growth of beautiful greenery.



shrooms
And fungi.



anglerettes
A couple of neighbourhood kidlets trying their luck at catching fish while I tried my luck at catching a shot of them.




mourning dove pair2
These two were all lovie dovie, each taking turns to coo impressively and flutter their wings. I suspect that there are Mourning dove eggs hatching as I type.



squirrel cutie
That's all, folks. Come on back in a few days for a few more images.
