July 27~ Day Lily


This sumptuous day lily originated in White Rock, in my sister-in-law's garden.
I admired it so much that Linda dug up a root; I flew home with it and transplanted it here.
Every year, it charms me with its apricot delicacy.

July 20 ~ Sir John Carling Building

 
 

One week ago, the John Carling building went from standing, to a pile of rubble, in 7 seconds.
A sad end for a once-proud building and once-proud work force.

A group of bachelor loons is a rare sighting.

Sunlight shining through the wicker chairs, makes interesting shadows.
Taken through a screen door, the whole picture becomes soft.

July 5 ~ Meech Lake Triathlon

Seen from my position in a safety boat, the sun back-lit the athletes and their splash,
 as they responded to the Start Horn!
