It's Picture Time!!!!

Oh how I love to share these photos with you.  I did a cool combo of things this past week, the MA and I went canoeing one day- down the Flambeau into town and came to  the Hwy13 bridge, and returned to Smith Lake again.  The next day, I got dropped off by the intersection of B and Hwy 70, and so went over one of the bridges that I had just photographed the night before.  The weather was very similar- the sun is really warm, but the breeze has been cool and it was very comfortable in the shade. It was a pretty awesome week, weather-wise.

 I have ROCKING photo project going on right now, that I have to wait to tell you all about.  I can't even show you the pictures for reasons you will eventually find out!  I'm so excited!!!  There are one or two of my dear readers/lurkers who know what it is, so you just hush!!  Lol  ;)

Let me present a selection of photos from the past week or so.  Many of them are from the canoeing we have done, some from my walking.....

This boater is about in the place I took the next picture- the day before!!  (catch all that?)

I LOVE the juxtaposition of the  solid, architectural lines of the bridge against the ever changing fluidity of the water

Someone came for a ride with us!

Beautiful scenery again!

So quiet and still for a river!

Life is good!

Another zen evening

We also went canoeing on Schnur Lake last Sunday night.  Got a couple photos of my dear friend Luann's place!  And of course some beautiful clouds floated into view....

So this is round 1 of the photos, I have some more random ones to post, but not tonight- too tired!!

Hope you enjoy these canoeing and cloud photos, may they bring you a little joy!

A good evening of pictures

Last night gave me a beautiful opportunity for photos, again.  I know this is not much of a surprise for many of you, but let me have a moment here! ...............

AHHHH. Yes.  thanks.

 It was a good night.  I walked over to "The Farm" on the south side of Park Falls, where the MA was assisting the unloading of hay.  I walked over on a back road and through the hay fields behind the barn, which is why I got some great shots!  I also scooted under the electric fence, in by the cows and down by the river.  The rains lately have REALLY filled the rivers and streams, it is quite amazing for this time of the year.  So, I took a bunch of pix, edited them and consequently have not YET gotten outside with a cup of coffee, something I plan to remedy in one moment.

These last 2 pictures were taken during a VERY long walk I took on Sunday night.  I'll include the rest of those pictures in a later blogpost....

Oh and yes, I am sure you are thrilled to know I got outside with my coffee this morning.  And found a little early morning joy!
