Summer Colours

"The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color." ~ Hans Hofmann



Bright and beautiful in her summer pastels, Lily's visits always makes my day.




A summer sun shower produced this lovely rainbow.




On one of my walks around the pond, I found this happy little mess of colour just lying in the grass, waiting to be photographed.




A few weeks ago, my sister, two cousins and I had lunch together. We shared a chocolate fondu for dessert.




At Frank's place, he found this spider web which was glistening in the late afternoon sun.




So was this one. I love the colours.




On our way to the cottage, this truck was promoting a sixties music radio station. It brought me back to 1967.




This colourful little guy accompanies us everywhere we go. He sits on the dashboard of Frank's car.




Up at the cottage, one of Frank's many boxes of colourful goodies meant to entice a fish.




After a long day of fishing, the colours of the sky bid us goodnight.

Checkin' It Out and Posts of the Week

Skittles is curious and hungry for something new. That something is a piece of barbecued chicken on the end of Alex's fork. If you have an appetite for some great blog posts, be sure to check out the Posts of the Week below.



The icon to the left here is yours for the taking if your blog post has been named as a Post of the Week - either as top post or as a runner up, today or in past weeks. I've decided to start mixing up the colours each week. Take whichever one appeals to you. You'll find others in past posts.
