I love taking pictures of raindrops on things… once the rain is over, lol…

it is very funny because I don’t like rain… but I like what it does after it has fallen…

I was also realizing how green the lawn is as I walked up the street after all the rain we’ve received recently… reminded me of Courtenay, BC, where the grass was usually brown most of the summer but once the rainy season came, everything burst into amazing shades of green…

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…

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…

walked to the Park this morning… before it got too hot…

had a wonderful stroll through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

they are stunning right now… everywhere I looked there were beautiful flowers…

haven’t been over for a few weeks and was amazed at the growth in that time…

the heat is back on in the lily pond and the lilies are looking much better than the last few years… unfortunately I was there too early to see them completely open for the day…

nice to get some exercise and enjoy the gardens…

productive day on Sunday…

topped up the hot tub, did laundry, prepped a few meals for the coming week, spent some time relaxing in the garden…

finished a book, watered plants, cleaned the fish tank, and consulted with Hilda the Gardener…

she very kindly sent me some before pictures…

had lunch out with my grandson, grocery shopped and got home to see the beautifully tidied front flower beds…

put away the groceries while the lawn was being mowed… went out and took a few photos of the tidied front beds…

fit in a nap, warmed up some leftovers for supper and watched a few PVR’d shows…

phew…

this morning I walked around the garden to get a few photos of the daisies that had opened overnight…

and I discovered this wasp (I think)… it was sitting on the daisy and not moving… I took a number of photos and then started to wonder if it was alive…

as I took the last two photos I could see it breathing, so was really happy…

I am rather pleased with this photo because it has not been altered at all;-)…

last night I walked home after having my hair cut, and purposely took a path that would take me by a number of lilac bushes…

I was able to stop at each one and take photos and enjoy the beautiful scent…

tonight when I drove the same path, with all the windows open, the perfume was so delicious… the wind must have been blowing in just the right direction… what a treat…

unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring any home… but I have pictures;-)…

things are really growing in the garden…

and I don’t just mean the dandelions and grass, sigh…

the ferns are growing by leaps and bounds…

the lily of the valley are starting to bloom… they smell lovely, but they don’t like to stay in one spot… if I was starting a garden I would only put them in a place where they are surrounded by concrete…

and the clematis is happily climbing up the trellis…

yesterday morning, when I was leaving for work I spotted two bunnies in the grass on the front lawn, but never took any pictures…

I did spend a few minutes sitting and watching them…

I am so blessed in so many ways, and the ability to sit still for a few moments and enjoy a bit of nature is one of them…

this morning another one was in the grass… got a few pics…

do ignore the dandelion filled lawn… it should be getting trimmed on Sunday;-)…

I hear that the bees are really happy to have the flowers from which to gather pollen…

I’m all there for the bees;-)…

I’ve been asked by a number of people to share my favourite thing about Maui…

so I’ve been thinking about it… and I can’t come up with just one thing…

over the last week I’ve printed a group of my favourite photos… and have been looking them over and remembering the particular moments each one represents…

there were so many special times… the ocean, the beaches, the rainbows, the trees, the turtles, the vegetation, the orchids, the flowers, snorkelling, the waterfalls, the food, the helicopter flight, the cacao trees, and on and on…

it really was two weeks of bliss;-)…
