It's never too late to learn

Logan will be 3 in November, but so far he's never had the opportunity to learn to swim. We decided to fix all that yesterday by taking him to a local swimming hole - yes, I said swimming hole - at the local Provincial Park and campground. I wouldn't say that he took to it like a...well...you know...a duck to water, but he did seem to enjoy himself once he got over the initial panic of "Are you trying to drown me or something?" and realized that there were little bits of land that he could take refuge on.

The beauty of the late day sun

Travelling around the area means seeing things that might make nice photos. Waiting for the right moment, and being in the right place at the right time aren't always easy things to do. Every now and then they do come together.

We live in the country, and that means there are plenty of rivers, ponds, farms, and the like to focus on (no pun intended, really). With the sunny afternoon today it meant a drive was definitely in order, and I've passed by this pond numerous times, but never had the chance to get out and capture it. Because it sits next to the road, on a long corner, it's not always easy to just stop and get a few quick shots. Today I decided to spend some time there and got to capture more than just the pond.

There's nothing like the taste of fresh vegetables from the garden

It's surprising how much stronger radishes are when they are picked from your own garden. It would seem that the trip from the farm to the warehouse to the grocery store really knocks the stuff out of them. So now that we have truly fresh vegetables all that work that Jeannette put into preparing and planting the garden has paid off, with the exception of the lettuce - the deer ate all of that. I gather it was as good as the radishes.

A new view of the world 2

Armed with a wide angle lens I wandered around looking for things to take pictures of, and Logan was a perfect subject (all photographers find their pets to be perfect subjects).

He sat patiently waiting for me to get the shot then wanted little more than a scratch behind the ears and "good boy". Ya gotta love that.

A new view of the world

It's been pretty rainy here for the last few weeks, so a little sun is definitely something to smile about. We've had lots of flowers, even though mother nature hasn't been providing much in the way of light to help them grow, and the varieties have certainly been interesting.

So here are a few shots, without rain drops on the lens, to carry us through until we get a bright sunny day again - hopefully tomorrow.

I think they're serious

If you don't get the first hint, or the second, maybe you'll get the third. Reminds me of the old saying, "Do I have to draw a picture for you?"
