We’ve been relaxing and enjoying the end of summer for the last six weeks. As we prepare for our trip to Europe in two weeks, I thought I’d share a few interesting pictures I took around home.

The next pictures were taken a couple weeks ago when I was doing my morning puzzles beside the pool. I like the reflected images.

This next one is a Northern Flicker. I’m glad someone enjoys the ants on our patio…

And finally, these next shots were taken today when a storm front moved through town. These looked like they were right out of Ghost Busters.

I’ll post more often when we are traveling. Until then, time to pack.
