Random Recent Photos

Today, with little else going on in this torrid weather, I am just going to drop a few photos from the past week or two.

For the past few years, we have been delighted by volunteer petunias growing here and there in the backyard. They grow right out of the mulch because there is landscaping cloth over the soil. In this photo by Sue, with appropriate, text added, the volunteer plant is to the bottom left. There are others elsewhere, but I think this one fits in nicely with the other pots. 

We photograph each other on walks. The next three photos were taken in the park, the first of Sue by a property that backs onto the park where the lady has a spectacular garden, mostly of big, beautiful flowerpots. The two of me are from a garden within the park.

The spotlight effect was done in camera as one of the Apple portrait options. 

AC lost in the flowers.

Guess who doesn’t want to bend too far.

There is a chipmunk living in our backyard, close to the daylilies by the fence. It was our first close encounter and s/he didn’t seem overawed by the gigantic two-legs  

Finally, for today, this a storefront on main street, the Carleton Place Gallery.

It's been hot, but I think this is the last day of this particular episode although there is not exactly a deepfreeze on the way. Maybe I will get some fresh photos or blog fodder in the coming days.
