this morning I spent some time in the garden before heading to work…

we’ve had a fair bit of rain over the last while and it is looking rather lush…

of course the grass needs to be cut, lol…

as I was sitting enjoying the view, the purple finch came by for a snack… such a beautiful bird… also has a lovely song…

I got a few good photos, then left my camera at work…

one of my amazing colleagues picked it up and brought it to me… this is particularly great as I don’t work tomorrow and was going to have to go in and get it;-)…

I am looking forward to spending some quality time in the garden tomorrow;-)…

last night met with my friends on the deck… although the temperature was in the 30s, there was a gentle breeze blowing which made us very comfortable…

the purple finch family were back at the bird feeder, and chased off a squirrel…

we watched a huge yellow moon rising while we visited;-)… I didn’t get any photos, just enjoyed the view…

later in the evening I spent some time back on the deck with my camera and tripod getting some pictures of the nearly full moon…

I am always amazed at how quickly the moon moves when you are taking pictures…

after all was said and done, this is my favourite photo…

my new camera is supposed to let me use my phone to click the shutter, but for some reason it just won’t work… hoping to find a way to get that option working and maybe take crisper pics…
