An Apple Today
An apple a day may be good for a person, but something here seemed to find the leaves much more appetizing!

Red sky at night, sailor’s delight!

Some images don’t deserve to have words on them. No, that doesn’t read like what I meant to convey. Some images shouldn’t be spoiled by adding words to them. …That’s more like it.

It’s that time of year when the flowers in our yard are exploding with colors like a 4th of July fireworks show. They are showing up everywhere and if we don’t happen to get out and stroll through the yard each day, we risk missing some of the best of the displays. All I can do is take some photos when I am able and save them for when the blossoms are past their prime. Meanwhile, the birds, bees, butterflies and all other interested bugs will take full advantage of the wealth of flora when we aren’t around. I take solace in that idea, understanding the flowers don’t solely exist for show. Otherwise, it sure would be a waste of all that color around our home, for the limited traffic our gardens see.
What a Weekend!
My weekend was chock-full of activity. I’d love to tell you all about it, but it was so full, I haven’t got any time left to write. Here are a few images that have little to do with any of my activities, but reflect some of the beauty and bounty I was able to enjoy beyond the bike ride, two restaurants, a couple of movies, some household chores, watching the Tour, and catching a concert at the zoo, (don’t tell Judy I was so close to her, but didn’t have time to visit).

Cyndie baked bread and made strawberry jam!
Even More?
Did you think I wouldn’t do it again? Well, I didn’t finish composing the post I had in mind, so you get another of Cyndie’s artwork to enjoy.

There’s More
There is so much more. There’s more to do, more to see, more to say. Sometimes, so much more that it is overwhelming, and appears as too much to deal with. When that happens, one remedy is to just do nothing. Wait it out. Take a breath, lean back, and stare at a cloud for a while. There are plenty more of those to be found…

Wordless Image
I have no words to put on this image today, but I just felt like posting it, so here you go:

I seem to be on a picture theme these days. I’ll admit to being a little pressed for time to write. We’re busy preparing to head to the lake place for the Independence Day weekend. I was able to get the lawn mowed at the last minute and we expect to be an hour into our road trip by the time this post is published. I am truly hoping to arrive at our destination early enough to catch the World Cup match between the Netherlands and Brazil. Then on Saturday, the Tour de France cycle race begins! So much sports entertainment that I thoroughly enjoy. It’s a very happy time for me! Why, I’m practically speechless over it!
