More of Recent Photos

This is a picture of the sky from the back corner of my deck as a rain/hail storm was coming in on June 22, 2007. As my usual, I see a face in the cloud formation. I edited a copy of this picture to help point out the face I see.



Most of the rest of the sky was solid dark clouds, but I found this image in the sky with the sun casting light and shadow very intriguing.


This is another cloud formation from about the same time as the others. I think the white clouds are so pretty against the blue background.


Here is a photo from the week before that I think I forgot to post. This is the flower garden that my grandson, Matthew, became my personal gardener for. He says it's his garden now!

Not Impressed with WYSIWYG Writer and Blogspot

So much for WYSIWYG Writer!! Can't publish my photos after I get them placed within the text where I want them. So here I am back to my regular form of publishing, checking the page and moving things and re-publishing, and re-publishing.



I had another weekend of great photo ops in Auburn and surrounding areas. This must have been the weekend for painted turtles to mate or something. I saw one in Cascade park area and another on Townline Road in Sennett, NY. They were both in their respective roadways. After checking them out and taking pics, they were moved out of the road.



Isn't this a great little dragonfly?! Actually, there are two different ones.





This couple oared by us while we were walking the trail by the inlet/outlet (can't remember which it is) on Sunday afternoon. We took John's dad along with us on this trip. He seemed to enjoy getting out for a little while to someplace different.



We stopped for ice cream just outside Moravia. The ice cream was great and I enjoyed some sights while there, but the pesky flies I could have done without quite nicely!









This started out as a shot of the sunset when I came over the hill from Moravia toward Niles. I did a little photo manipulation and turned it into a fake lake with the sunset in the background.



See you in a few days. Gotta go get some stuff ready for a yard sale this weekend.

Wow, Video Upload!

It has been a few weeks since I last posted. I decided I would make a quick post before heading to see my boyfriend for the weekend. What a nice surprise to find that we can now upload video! Thanks, Blogspot; I'll give it a try. (I couldn't find where that capability is accessed and don't have time now to research it. Maybe next time.)
Here are some of my recent photos. I just loved the columbine. It came from my sister's garden. I visited her the other evening and she sent me home with a bouquet of cut flowers (irises, peonies--pink, white, & red, and the columbine).






I managed to capture pics of two different dragonflies last weekend:









And here is what I am told is a "Viceroy butterfly":








This is a Canada goose I captured on my camera card recently. Wouldn't this make a great painting?








Meet Savannah! She is the latest addition to my "Chihuahua grandchildren" (my son and daughter-in-law have four of them!).







I'm sure I have others I could share with you, but I need to get "on the road again". 'Til next time, enjoy.

P.S., Lest you think my cats do nothing while I am gone away, look what I found when I returned home last Sunday night. It is a real bunny head--minus one ear.
