A Sunday evening drive
Sometimes, when I’m feeling kinda down, I take a drive. The evening of Father’s Day I did just that. I brought my camera, looking for beauty, for God in creation (having experienced that topic in an “indoor outdoor worship service” that morning at Bloomingdale Mennonite Church).
The weather for the last several days had been unsettled, rain and sun, sometimes at the same time. I got some dramatic sky pictures. When I got to the park in Stratford it was raining lightly. Billie and I waited in the car until most of the drops had quit, then started our walk by the river. A rainbow was evident. I also took iconic Stratford pictures, the river, the theatre, the swans.
On my way home another rainbow appeared in the sky. It accompanied me from New Hamburg to Kitchener.
Back yard bird feeder
I want to use up the bird seed I’d bought for Mom’s birdfeeder. It’s been fun watching the critters that come:
Herons and Vultures
A couple weeks ago I saw a most interesting sight.
Walking by the Grand River I spied a Great Blue Heron. I then realized there were four of them. As I was on a treed trail above the river I had a hard time getting a great shot. While I was looking five turkey vultures landed on a sandbar right by the herons. They pretty much ignored one another till they all flew away.
(Note: I’ve been adding to my “Birds and Flowers” post.)
An evening walk
Got some nice pictures this evening. I’m especially thrilled to get pictures of the Baltimore oriole. (Click the i in bottom left corner for description)
