Ice piles are still around the neighborhood since its been in the teens the last few days.
This weekend is Regatta weekend at the lake where our cabin is at. They have boat races, different competitions and entertainment. I like to watch some of it but there is one activity I participate in. Got any clue what it might be? The pet parade! That consists of dressing up your pets in the best outfit to try and win. As you can see I spent my afternoon grooming Oliver. He needed it badly and he is going to be in the pet parade this weekend. Guess what he is going to be. Just look at him and think about it. I will tell you after the parade when I have some photos.
Every year the little pear tree in our front yard grows more pears each year. Except, we never get to eat them. Why? Because the greedy but cute squirrels always take them before they are big enough to eat. This year is different though. We still have all the pears and they are almost ready to eat. Where are the squirrels? It was a mystery for a little but I put my brain to work and figured it out. We havent filled the bird feeders in the backyard for months which attracted squirrels. Which means they probably moved on to other areas. Arent I brilliant? So, now we got lots of pears on our tree. Lucky us.
Dont they look yummy? I bet they will be juicy soon. Pears are so delicious. Anyone want one or two? Maybe I will share with the squirrels. Take some for myself and leave the rest for the outside critters. Keep the rain and sun coming and make these pears big!
I know its way past fourth of July but I have to share my firework photos with you all. I had fun photographing them. They are not perfect but they came out pretty nicely. Especially, since it was my very first time photographing fireworks. Hope you enjoy them!
Yesterday marked the hundredth year of celebration of fourth of July in my town. That is why we had the parade yesterday instead of the actual day. I accomplished my assignment and I am very proud of myself. I set my alarm to wake up, got up and ready, grabbed my camera and walked over to where the parade would be. It was in the high ninety’s and the sun was shining high but it was worth it. Even though it was boiling out people still had great spirit for the holiday. I took over three hundred photos of the parade and kept around a hundred of them. Here are a few of them. Enjoy the parade!

Schools out for summer. Schools out forever! Thats right, I graduated yesterday and I am so proud of myself. Before graduation I tried to make the day go very slow because I was scared and had every thought of negativity about myself go through my mind. But I stayed strong and did not runaway. Everything went well and I had a blast!
I would have to say bleeding hearts are my favorite flowers. All flowers are pretty but they just stand out to me and they are so unique looking. Every year I am so excited and happy when they bloom in our backyard. When I saw they bloomed I went outside to photograph them before it was too late. If I missed out I would of been so upset, but I am happy with how the photo above came out. I captured the beauty and the delicateness of these magnificent flowers. What do you think?
