Bee Breakfast II

Granular

Yesterday was a good day. The weather was perfect with a sparse dotting of thick pillow clouds and a light breezy that would only occasionally gather enough courage to bluster in a gentle way. Gabriella and I ranged over most of downtown Windsor through construction sites and we met a fascinating Romanian gentleman who fished for carp in one of the overflow pounds that cluster around the river. “Americans no like carp,” he exclaimed as he jostled one of his four fishing poles in the hopes that his hours of work might yield more than the two plump carp. Generously he offered a recipe for a hot and sour carp tail and head soup, “Good for when you drink too much and can’t cook.” Afterwards, we found ourselves with Management at Northwest Park capturing wasps in baby food containers and flowers on camera.

Hosta
Saturday morning I noticed that our hostas are finally in bloom.

Slober
After packing everyone up into two cars we drove over to the dog park in Granby.

Nibble and Watch
Peri wasn’t the only one having fun, Gabi was enraptured with the dogs watching them for three hours occasionally cheering them on as they chased each other about.

Refreshments
Playing is thirsty work.

The Entertainer
We had such a good time on Saturday that we repeated it on Sunday and this little guy took it upon himself to keep Gabi amused with his antics.

Dropped like a sack of potatoes.
After a busy weekend we got up this morning to this sight.

Back Seat Self
This is what I do Monday through Friday: ride in the back and take pictures.

An Afternoon In The Garden

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

One of my favorite things at the moment is wandering about my parent’s backyard where my mother has cultivated this oasis of color and life in the heart of the suburbs. It is a riot of colors, textures, and smells with life small and large, aloft on wing or scurrying underfoot under every leaf or alighting on each petal. Yesterday, after doing some small chores for them about the yard we walked and she pointed out some of her favorite things while I took pictures.

Pink In Bloom

There are car sized bushes covered in these blossoms which seem to generate a light of their own.

Peering At The Mushroom Kingdom

My mother’s sharp eye spied this mushroom thriving below some of her taller plants.

The Veld

One of my favorites, this ant crawled about hungrily dipping itself into the blossoms.
