From Sunset to Playtime

I am always on the hunt for a beautiful sunset picture. Some evenings the sky is gorgeous and some evenings not so much.

I think I was fortunate to be out on this particular evening,a week or so ago.

There were just enough clouds to make a beautiful sunset.

As I was driving away from the sunset,I noticed that the sky was still quite lovely,so I pulled over to get another picture. What shocked me was to see the Space Shuttle low in my Manitoba sky.

Do you see it?

While washing dishes one day,I noticed a rainbow in the eastern sky.I love rainbows,but from my yard I can never see much of them. I quickly made the decision that the dishes would wait and grabbed my camera and headed down the street to an open lot.Yes,I believe I made the right choice,for not only did I see one rainbow,but two.

My sister,Becky and I each have one granddaughter and the girls,being only six months apart in age,love playing together. The four of us were spending the day together and the girl were getting a little bored. They wanted to play a game that involved water and sponges,so we allowed them to do this.

As Becky and I were watching the game ended very quickly but they decided that the tree and a bird house would benefit from a good washing. Clean fun,yes,they got a little wet,but it was only water and dried soon enough.By the way,Kai,my granddaughter, is in the black tights  and Becky's granddaughter Addy is in the skirt.

No I have not gotten a dog,but I do love this little pooch.Duffy is very special to me and I might add to the family who owns her. You see,Duffy was the one who could get a real,from the heart smile,out of Jake during his last few weeks on earth.I think she is adorable,especially in this pose.She is being held by her favourite person,Claire.

Now I am off to celebrate the Corn and Apple Festival in my home town.

It is supposed to be very hot,so my time downtown may be limited.

Have a great weekend and stay cool.
