BUZZING & SWIMMING

Swimming this morning in the North West Arm

without a Doodle care in the world ~

A two-step was in full swing inside this luscious pink rose

a solo engorgment of pollen by this bee as we stared down inside

so still 

so beautiful 

so Lady Bug 

almost translucent hiding in amongst the stamens

the white roses are a fresh pink before opening up to us

blackberry blooms so crinkly 

I continue to swim

rescuing Mr. Orangie from a fate worse than death.

As I return to the top of the hill 

I hear the buzzing of yet another bee

totally lost in all these blossoms ~

while Jim snoozes on the bench soaking up the beautiful summer warmth

and I take a reprieve from fetching and chewing Mr. Orangie 

within an inch of his orange life.

I do love our summers especially getting lost in the park, 

meeting friends,

swimming 

listening to the bees

and

devouring a green salad

anytime I want.

I Love My Summers!

SAND ~ SEAWEED & ROSES

The unusual

the 'out of the norm'

the splendidly colourful

is what we found on the beach recently ~

laying scattered all over the sand.

Mr. Orangie was most intrigued

checking out these roses 

snuggled up with the seaweed and rocks.

The ocean was persistent

pushing more and more waves

onto the sand and rocks

leaving the roses smothered in bubbles.

How they got here is anybody's guess, really.

What do you think caused the invasion of the pink/red roses
on this blue/grey day?
Dean Martin will serenade you as you figure this one out.
ENJOY !!
