My Oh My Deer Friends

My friend, Ken Gauthier sent me these photos of the friendly deer that visit his place up in Ontario Canada. Thanks again for sharing Ken.

Flowers Of The Day

It has been getting harder and harder to get out and take flower photos. We have been in a rainy rut for 5 days now. Standing water in the yard and more rain today. It looks like I will miss the major part of the Peony bloom, with us being on vacation next week. I might get lucky and catch a couple of new blooms tomorrow but that will be it. The Peony photos that I took are not the really nice ones either.

More Clematis

Another newly bloomed Iris

Here are some Snapdragons

A single pink Rose

2 More Days And A Wake Up

Veronica and I have only 2 more days and a wake up until we get on the big bird and head to Seattle. The following morning we get on the big boat and head towards Alaska. We have everything packed up and ready to go. 1 large suitcase a piece(under 50 lbs.) and then a couple of carry-ons. The carry-ons(waterproof back packs) have our cameras and camcorder in them along with our Gore-Tex jackets. We will be all set for any weather that mother nature sends our way. I am sure that the temperatures will be a lot lower than what we are experiencing here. We will probably sleep on the ship with our balcony door open. Upon our return, I will journal entry our entire vacation along with uploading some great photos to share with you.
