...und ein bisschen Zeit, etwas Ordnung in die Stoffsammlung für die kommende Fotoausstellung zu bringen - die Früchtchen im Hängekorb auf der Terrasse genießen die heutige feuchte Kühle ebenfalls ;-)))

Entspanntes Wochenende allerseits!

"When Summer's End is Nighing"

My Old Man. He's 13 years old now.

Southwest Arizona, USA.

Full frame. No crop. No post processing.

Update:

My 'Buddy Guy' was put to sleep today. He wasnt pooping. Wasn't eating for the past dew days. I thought he might have an intestinal blockage or bloat. I brought him to the vet today, they took xrays and it showed he had a large solid mass in his abdominal cavity. At his age surgery was out of the question.

Buddy was on the euthanasia list at the county run animal shelter 4 years ago. I adopted him. He was always a gentleman.

I'm going to miss my guy.

The sky put on a thunderous show.

Came across this chill Robber Fly early one morning before the temp rose and he became more active.

Watson’s Mill is a beautifully preserved 1860s limestone grist & flour mill, located in Dickinson Square in Manotick (just south of Ottawa). It remains one of North America’s few operational industrial grist mills, still producing stone‑ground whole wheat flour—and even fresh bread—from spring through autumn.

Sunset on Grand Lake

My African violet plant never disappoints. It in now flowering full force. Does this a few times a year. It is so easy to take care of.

Memories of summer... Bright green leaves and a ladybug

Another fun flower in our wildflower patch.

Happy Solstice!

summer evening on the lake

A bit of rain resulted in some reflections over the Trinity river

I dream of summer coming back
