On a Day In June

I keep showing pictures that are from a couple of months ago, but I guess that's OK. 

We all enjoy reliving good days and these pictures are from just such a day.Let me explain.

A friend and fellow bus driver and I were asked to transport most of the children from one school to a nearby rural park.The children love this day, it means they get to roam around and explore.

I of course knew that there would be several hours of waiting, so my trusty camera came with me.

All the following pictures were taken from the grounds of the park we were at.

Our Manitoba people will recognize it as Stanley Park.

Often times I find myself looking for that spectacular flower, but this single head of grain shows that beauty is seen even in the simple things.

While relaxing in my lawn chair,I noticed these flowers. The clover makes a nice backdrop for the lone Dandelion.

The park has several picnic shelters and a pair of Barn Swallows felt that this was a good place for a home.Since they had a nest there, they allowed me to get fairly close and capture these images.

This picture is taken with a flash, because it was not very well lit in there.

Isn't he cute?

Mama was faithfully doing her duty, sitting on that nest, keeping the eggs warm.

This is a well treed park so we could not look to the west from where we were.One of the teachers drew my attention to the fact that there were weather warnings out.I took a short walk and looked west, only to see these clouds bubbling up.We knew that it was time to get those children rounded up and into the buses and home to a safe building.

The weather was not severe, but it did rain so they might have gotten a little wet.

Closing Thought:

{I may have used this before, but it's still a good reminder.}

Every day may not be good,but there is something good in every day.
