Went for a walk this morning before it got too hot. The flowers at the marina are all in bloom and are just beautiful. Some of the flowers still had raindrops on them. Took a bunch of photos and like this one the best

Another really warm day and lots of humidity. I walked this morning but it was still really warm. Earlier this week I posted a picture of this flower – didn’t know what it was but another photographer as kind enough to tell me it was milkweed. When I spotted the milkweed earlier this week there were a lot of bees around them. Today in addition to the bees there were butterflies. It was hard to get a good photo since the butterflies kept fluttering around but I managed to get this one.

Summer is here – it was in the 90’s today and its going to stay that way for rest of the week. Went for a walk after dinner – There is a big row of these lilies by the marina. I have been trying to get a good shot. This is the best one so far – stay tuned there may be more later this week

I have been trying to get a picture of a blue heron in our neighborhood for a long time. Went for a walk this morning since I figured it might be too hot and humid tonight. As I rounded the curve to the boat launching site, I was shocked to see the heron just posing there on the dock. I turned the camera on, checked my setting and slowly walked closer. Took a bunch of pictures and then slowly walked a little closer took some pictures and then slowly walked a little closer. As an added bonus, a duck swamp by. After I snapped a bunch of pictures, I changed the settings on the camera to action as I figured he was going to take off pretty soon and sure enough – he did – I got a couple of shots before he disappeared. This one turned out the best
