Where is Summer?

Did someone say it was the first day of summer a few days ago? Where? Certainly not here I can tell you. I would even have settled for spring temperatures here  today and not complained one single bit!  I don't complain even if it doesn't  get out of the 70's  for the  whole summer  long here. After all, I am use to those temperatures having lived so many years here on the lake. But a high of 48 degrees today.  That I'm complaining about. This is Ontario after all, not the Yukon!

I thought I was done with this. But with the rainy dampness, I finally broke down and had hubby build a fire.


I wanted a close up view of the flame for you. So I started snapping away. Can you see my reflection at all in this? My first shot appeared as praying hands in the fire. I was actually spooked when I was taking it! Wouldn't you know when I imported it to the computer it turned out too dark to even see anything. I do hope this gives you somewhat of an idea of what it resembled though.
Just when I want to give myself a pat on the back because I've learned how to do something new with my blog, then another problem appears. Like the fact that my name is not moving to the bottom as I'm writing. What does this mean? What have I done now? Oh well, I'll just pretend it's not happening and continue on.
While it was raining I did manage to get two nice shots of "natures lace". I hope you enjoy them and enjoy your weekend too!

  6. That is the same kind of spring we have had and still summer is very slow getting started. Our heat came on the other day..we have never had it on in June!

    We will be putting a woodstove in our Vancouver house before the fall cold weather sets in and are trying to find the best. Are you happy with yours and if so would you please share the details of the make and model? I love that the fire shows so well and we might even go for some praying hands also..

    I also thought you planned on your name there. You will find that this will not be the only problem you come across as Blogger seems to have a mind of it's own and sometimes a warped sense of humor. I don't know why things go to weird places sometimes...You are doing good and are brave. When I first started I was afraid to do anything, kind of like if I did it then maybe I could never change it back...kind of like getting a tattoo, hahaha!

    Hope your weather warms up tomorrow.

  8. Decided to start at the beginning of your blog and I am glad I did. What great pictures. What I am looking forward to hearing about is your winter. I live in central Maryland USA. Our seasons are pretty equal - but no extremes - except for this week when it is around 100 degrees for the 5th day.

    But I am a winter person. I love cold weather. So I am eager to see what your winter is like.
