Randomness from a Friday Walk
A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/admire/
Yesterday was a nice day for a walk. Looks like it will be the same again today. Sunny, on the warm side (not too warm for me yet – hopefully we are past the stage of too warm for Emily days out here. Things tend to start cooling down in August…), and very still.
I decided on my walk yesterday to look up, down, around – no, not for Pokemon (there are enough people out there paying no attention to people around them as they look down at their phones), but for different things to take pictures of. It’s something I need to keep working on. There’s a lot to see out there if we just keep our eyes open to the possibilities.
So, naturally there is a water picture. I tried to get the lighthouse in the distance.
There is a lot of brown around right now. This is typical for this time of year here. It’s always struck me as odd, living right on the ocean as we do, but Victoria is extremely dry in the summer. Last summer we went for 4 months with no rain. It has rained a bit here over the past few months, but not enough to keep the grass green. Reminds me a bit of Saskatchewan…
Lots of bees around – makes me hopeful for their future.
And, of course, lots of flowers in the park
including waterlilies galore
And a cloudless sky above.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

What?! No kitty pictures?
Arghhhh!! How did that happen??
Really nice post! Loved the picture too!
Thanks very much!
These are great photos. I love the blueness of the water photo. The river water here is brown and every time we are near the ocean, it is so overcast that the water is all gray. Have a blessed day!
The weather has been very cooperative for pictures of the ocean. Have a wonderful weekend!
That is great. Have a wonderful week. 🙂
What a lovely walk – you’ve taken some really pretty photos! 🙂
Thanks! We are really lucky here.
Beautiful walk – it looks far drier there than here, and we haven’t had a ton of rain recently.
It’s always very dry here in the summer. But not as dry this summer as last! My garden has loved it this year.
We’re lucky not to have too many dry years – our grass still needs to be mowed regularly!
I love the pics, and I am jealous! I walk about 4 miles every morning, but around the track of a soccer park. Gets boring, though I do sometimes see an occasional rabbit or duck. Still … love your scenery!
I still can’t believe we live here. Born and raised on the prairie, but it’s like I was meant to be near the ocean!
