Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama dont take my kodachrome away
--And everything looks worse in black and white
One of the late summer baby birds. I've never seen sparrows work so hard... bless their little hearts
Since Ernie left this world I've only been out here twice. Funny thing, I assumed my spot near the water and the Geese moved ever so slightly and made room for me. There are many through the day as they do whatever it is Geese do :) Seemed almost like old times. Later in the evening the ducks made rounds. Toward sunset they did what Ernie used to do, go around the pond as if performing a check. The Osprey appeared too. It made me smile.
at 8PM it is 96 degree
A virginia water snake, hunkered down in a mud hole waiting out the heat the of day.

"This plot of orchard-ground is ours;
My trees they are, my Sister's flowers;
Here rest your wing when they are weary;
Here lodge as in a sanctuary!
Come often to us, fear no wrong;
William Wordsworth
"Sit near us on the bough!
We'll talk of sunshine and of song,
And summer days, when we were young;
Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now."
William Wordsworth
the silver side of the wings was very cool and reflective. Very flashy :) Happy Fluttery Friday
Walked out my front door, watched a few minutes and grabbed the camera. The fireworks are from the local area. From my front steps I watched them all. No Muss - No Fuss.. no traffic,,,
sometimes you just get lucky.
