Beautiful outing, beautiful pictures. About a week and a half my brother and I are going to laze his pontoon boat from a town upriver, to his house. Probably take most of a day. He could actually launch it at a ramp a couple hundred yards upstream from his home but this sounds more fun.

Great pics, but the first is my favorite. I think it is because it has a lot going on and I can "feel" the droplets of water. :) Very grand!

Looks likes so much fun! Love all the pictures...I'm trying to remember if I ever went tubing behind a boat, and I just don't think so. Maybe a midlife thing to try, right? ;)

I so love all your pictures! I remember seeing my first Osprey nest when I was out boating a few years ago and I couldn't get over the size of it!! The girls really seem to be having a fun time tubing...I'd probably break every bone in my body on that thing! lol xox

I love kayaking and anything to do with the water but am a bit scared of ghost ships.

That looks like the girls are having heaps of fun. You share such lovely photos with us. The river is amazing (so long) and your early morning scene is quite special.

The last time I went tubing I was recovering from a laproscopic surgery. My friends said I shouldn't but since the Dr. had told me not to do anything for 2 days but the husband left me with 3 kids I figured tubing wouldn't hurt me too bad. It actually cooled down the incision and was way worth it.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

Image
The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
