Drove from Knoxville to Nashville. Stayed overnight at Motel 6 by the airport (would not recommend). Flew up to Toronto on Swoop Airlines (from BNA) and we got picked up by Beth's Dad.
Then we drove up to the Limerick Lake Lodge & Marina. Switched vehicles; taking his Pontoon boat to the family cottage.
Spent a few days enjoying the sunny and cooler temps. Visited some family in Toronto on July 10th.
Stayed overnight in Mississauga at the Quality Inn by Choice Hotels on Airport Road. Flew back to Nashville on July 11th.
Drove home, but stopping at the newly-opened Buc-ee's location in Crossville.
We picked up George's wife, Marilyn at the Marina. Uncle Chris, Aunt Emily and Evan came over in the afternoon for another visit.

After sitting here for awhile and trying to come up with a dialog about the inspiration for the image, I decided to let it speak for itself. After processing, for me it turned out way better than I expected.
Image is a blend of 3-EX bracket @ 2-EV and processed in Aurora 2019. Weeks later, I felt that a change was needed to pull out the mood of the scene that drew me to capture it in the first place. One filter(LUT) in Luminar 2018 made the transformation after the percentage was changed, along with a change of the crop.
This Pelican has been captured at Terranora Creek, Tweed, New South Wales, Australia.

A Bird of Paradise plant at the park. Native to South Africa apparently (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strelitzia), but quite common around here.
I'd have been better to use the iPhone's HDR mode for this shot, but didn't, so Skylum Aurora to the rescue.
Exploring lost places from my youth today ... I'd forgotten this place existed ... was a great place to get out of the rain on a stormy day..
If a cormorant is out of the water, it will spread its wings to dry off. On this morning, however, they were still dry.
These birds spend a lot of time under the water catching food. It's a little ironic that they even though they have feathers, they are excellent swimmers and spend a lot of time underwater. When they are fishing, you might only see their snake-like head and neck pop-up for air. We also have snakes in the water, so seeing a Cormorant's head pop-up might give you pause.
Just as often they'll sit on a low branch or along the shoreline with their wings outstretched. Initially, I thought that it was to ward off predators by making themselves seem more prominent. But in fact, it's to dry their feathers which are not as water repellant as other birds like ducks or pelicans.
