Days 253-259

Day 253

Sunshine and shadows on golden leaves.

Day 254

I love the contrast of the solid church structure and the small tree with most of its leaves carried off by the wind.  It speaks to me in so many ways . . .                                                

Day 255

With the return of the cooler weather the feathered friends are returning.  

I really missed them.

Day 256

Diversity in nature . . . deciduous and evergreen, 

standing side by side like faithful friends.

Day 257

My painted pumpkin from the pumpkin painting party my daughter had for her boccia group.  Six young ladies in wheel chairs, my daughter and I helping.  Loads of fun, paint everywhere . . . smiles and laughter, shiny eyes and happy hearts.

Day 258

My little plate of starfish and stones.  The stone with my name on it is from David & Molly's wedding reception.

Day 259

Lafarge #1 Substation across the Fraser River from Delta where I work.  Sneaked away on my lunch break to enjoy the first sunny day in a while.  

Days 92-98

Day 92

 I invented a truly delicious frozen smoothie treat . . . 1 banana, roughly 1 cup of frozen pineapple, juice of an orange and 1 cup mixed frozen blueberries and blackberries.  It was so thick and delicious and made this lovely swirly pattern in the blender.  I will be making this again . . . almost as good as ice cream and better for you.

Day 93

 Mother's Day cupcakes cooling on rack . . . my daughter's creations.

Day 94

 White petunias basking in early morning sun.

Day 95

 Found these happy faces at Art's Nursery.

Day 96 

 Snail and shell on hardy hibiscus . . . creation's wonders.

Day 97

 This fella came for breakfast and was just 3 feet away from me.  I was already outside with my camera and just froze when he landed in front of me.  Carefully raising my camera I was able to get about 5 shots off before he spooked.  Isn't he gorgeous?

Day 98

Blue-eyed grass . . . "Devon Skies".  

The flowers close up at dusk each evening and open up wide with the sun.
