We're still getting our walks in early in the day — at least early for us. In cooler weather, we tend to walk before noon, but it's been getting very hot lately, so we try to walk early. It went up to 33C/91F here on Saturday, and since it's is always a humid heat, we really feel it.
On Friday it was coffee and selfies on a bench in the park before we strolled to the other edge of the park and back. After taking our usual selfie angle, which shows the setting looking upriver, we took a different angle. The advantage of the second is that it shows us on close to the same plane and keeps our proportions better without one of us looking tiny in the background.
The next day, we opted to walk along and around the trail bridge. Just as we were starting to ascend to the bridge from the parking lot, Bob and Barb drove by, so we invited them to join us. We walked and chatted. The highlight was encountering a friendly cat. He lolled in front of us for pets. I did my bit, and then he waddled over to receive attention from the ladies.
The ladies stopped a few times to look at this and that. Bob and I were ahead. Sue took some pics.
The good news is that a cold front has blown through, and it cool this morning. It is also raining, so there may be no walk today, but we shan’t complain.
I have been hardly getting out very far at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the selfie shots. What always surprises me is how close one’s make people’s noses so big. And they don’t seem to even notice!
ReplyDeleteStill hot here. Looking for a break soon with some rain. Everything is parched.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet up with friends - a serendipitous moment.
It's good to know you finally got some rain. I've spent little time outside. The humidity is oppressive. Getting some rain is worth not taking the walk.
ReplyDeleteI like how you're fitting the walks in and finding photo fodder en route. That's very nice to have friends along too. That cat has quite the tail! Rain is good; I wish we would get more of it. I'll probably rue those words when autumn rolls in.
ReplyDeleteHumidity always zaps in the hot weather. Tiger is awfully cute, orange cats always seem to have that laid back energy.
ReplyDeleteHot here so early that it is too hot to go out after 10. Miserable weather. Maybe your cold front will dip down this way.
ReplyDeleteNice to run into friends!
Beautiful photos, ❤️ cat 🐈 water 💧 and selfie. Thank 😊 🙏 goodness we are getting some much needed rain 🌧 here in Montreal today. This time it has dropped the temperatures and it is now 20 Celsius. I look forward to cooler days ahead and my beloved walks in nature after the intense heat 🥵 🔥 and humidity with temperatures over 30 and sometimes 40 Celsius.
ReplyDeleteGood to take as many selfie as you can which would be memories later on
ReplyDeleteLet's enjoy that colour while we can.
ReplyDeleteThat cat looks like one we once had--beautiful. Love the photewith crossed hiking poles!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are getting the rain there too.
ReplyDeleteWe always find something to complain about the weather. It's too hot! It's too windy!
ReplyDeleteA bit of rain this AM, sunshine and NO humidity this PM, and good sleeping tonight with the blanket back on, and probably pulled up to our chin!
