walked over to get a trim at Ultracuts after the rain stopped yesterday… came out very nice…

on my walk back home I came across a group of bikers at the gas station… made me giggle to see one person checking out their cell phone as they waited for others to get gas…

I asked if I might take his photo and he said yes and posed, lol… then I asked if he would go back to looking at his phone, because that was the shot I wanted…

last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…

I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…

recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…

wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

our last day of camping was sunny but windy…

after a hike along the beach the decision was made not to take the boat out… the whitecaps were big…

got some great photos along the way…

so, we packed up and headed toward home… we stopped at Seven Sisters Falls on the way and had a lovely wander along the river…

beautiful scenery… a reminder of lovely visits that my beloved and I took to this spot… it was fun for the boys to see it for the first time…

while we were there the boys spotted many frogs… made me giggle because I often take photos of frogs… they use a much more hands-on approach…

the other evening there was a thunderstorm…

afterwards I took this photo out the front door… hadn’t been much sun for most of the day, so it was great to see this…

I was on the watch for a rainbow because the sky just had that look about it…

and then, this…

it was gorgeous and reminded me of the many rainbows we saw when we were on Maui… I think we saw at least one every day and one day we saw five…

spent some time out in the garden watching for the baby fish which I spotted a few days ago… I saw at least two sizes, so am eager to see how many there are…

they move really quickly, so the chances of getting any shots of them is slim…

but I did get a few pictures of the rest of the fish sunning themselves…

I’ve also been taking photos daily of the water lily bud as it slowly grows toward the surface of the pond…

really hoping I get to see it bloom…

Monday I considered turning on the bedroom light when I first got up…

there is less light every day, sigh… this is always one of the sadder happenings mid August…

at night I am now turning on the lights that run along the bannister on the stairs… those lights haven’t been on for months…

time is flying by more and more quickly…

although later in the evening I did enjoy spending a few minutes at the window as I was going downstairs to watch the solar lights start twinkling on… arrived at just the right moment;-)…

have to celebrate the little things…

spent a lot of time with the water lilies in the Gardens… went from one to another, viewing and taking pictures… many of them had tiny frogs sitting on the lily pads…

water has always been important to me and it always draws me in…

wasn’t sure that the two lilies in my pond were going to have flowers, but I remained hopeful…

and this morning I spotted a bud;-)… woo hoo… excited to see the flower…

so excited because I found a new way to download my iPhone photos in a quick and simple way…

picked up this iXpand Flash Drive SanDisk which holds 64 gb…

while I was sitting in the parking lot of the store, I downloaded the app and saved 1800 photos to the drive… all in about five minutes…

previous methods I’ve used have taken way longer to copy pictures…

easy to find the pictures by date and then copy them back to the iPhone if needed…

oh, I think I’m going to have lots of fun…

had some fun taking photos of the moon setting and the sun rising…

ran back and forth from the front of the house, to the back to get the pictures…

amongst all the back and forth-ing, I also caught a shot of a plane and a bunny…

just a few days before that, I’d tried to get a shot of the full moon as it was setting, but clouds got in my way…

met a wonderful dear woman for a pedicure recently…

we haven’t had an opportunity to visit for ages, so it was fabulous to have time together… we worked together for a few years and clicked instantly… she made my life so much better…

we both chose shades of purple for our toes and then were treated to excellent service by our technicians…

so blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with special friends… life is good…
