A green yard

 
We have certainly enjoyed a mild summer...hence the very green yard...I am not a fan of watering the yard for a variety of reasons and get really annoyed with neighbors that do as we are all on a well and tap into the same aquifer below ground....we also don't use weed killer...as it makes its way to the water ultimately...the pros and cons of no sewers where we are....on the other hand...stop over and we will play some boccie ball on my lovely green yard....

Shadows

 
I just liked the way this turned out with the sky and and the shadows and the reflection on the table. Our gazebo.....which we enjoy very much in the summer.

Dusk rushing in over Wallon Lake

 
It's SkyWatch Friday! Hosted by Wigger's World.....stop over and see what the sky looks like around the world!

A thistle

 

I think this is a thistle.....it is in my backyard and I have many of them.....apparently I need to weed more! I can never seem to get ahead of the weeds and being gone for a week....it is like they knew they had no supervision so they just went wild!

ABC Wednesday C is for CatTails

It is ABC Wednesday again. Check out all the participants here!These are on a trail near where we stayed.....they are ENORMOUS!!

Another View

This is a different view from yesterday. The benches are there so that the nursery staff can sit and watch the little kids play in the water safely....it is very shallow for a few feet and then drops off...it is a great place for them and the staff sits in the water....sort of!

Walloon Lake

A very beautiful place in the northern part of lower Michigan, Walloon Lake. We have vacationed here for the past 20 years and it never loses its charm.
