Days 127-133

Day 127

Morning sun casts lovely shadows on the wall.

Day 128

Rain strings a beaded necklace on clematis vine.

Day 129

Just how fast is a snail's pace?

Day 130

Spirea in full blooming glory.

Day 131

Hanging basket at Evergreen Baptist Senior's Home . . . such happy colours.

Day 132

The girls and I visited Burnaby Village Museum and my favourite shop was the Chinese Herbalist establishment, Way Sang Yuen Wat Kee. 

 Here are a few of the bottled remedies that were on display.

Day 133

Gazania bud almost open.

Days 120-126

Day 120

Raindrops on roses . . . in black & white.

Day 121

One of three cats in our household . . . Chloe, the grand old dame with the emerald eyes.

Day 122

I found this snail on the rim of a cement and stone table.  Love the colours against the mix of pebbles.

Day 123

This crazy critter had me doing research to identify it.  Turns out it is a brachonid wasp and that long thing that looks like a needle is called an ovipositer by which it deposits its eggs in a favourable location.

Day 124

Love my feathered friends that come to visit.

Day 125

With the allium finished, the lavender is the newest attraction for the bees.

Day 126

My daughter's garage sale find . . . very cool!

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.
