Water, a walk and of course another sunset

My grandson in the water


On my walk today the owl was waiting for me again. I can't help but let her say hello to you as well





Nice Bougainvillea at a wrought iron fence


At the sunset park I met this Dad and son



Then the sun went down

1. Those are just beautiful, my dear Mira!

Your grandson is a very handsome young man...

And the owl is gorgeous, so detailed. I love the wrought iron with the bougainvillea...And the man with his cute little boy! A picture in a picture!

But your sunset blows me away. The sun shining through the clouds like that.....it's magic.

Thank you!

2. Excellent as usual.

We have owls all over the place in Tucson but I have never seen one. Coyotes, wildcats, tarantulas and Scorpions but no owls yet.

4. Hello to you - and

thanks for your comment. Your critters are dangerous, be careful. My Owl is there every time I take a walk. Same basic area, just sitting there waiting for me.

6. Nahh, the critters that live in my neighborhood are just the critters that live here

They are not anymore dangerous than critters anywhere, you just have to be aware that they are around and respect that this is where they live.

We have had five scorpions, three Coyotes and numerous tarantulas visit us since we moved to Tucson and we love all of them.

What can I say? I love all of God's creatures.

5. Fabulous shots!

Love theorist one. And what a treat to have your own personal owl. Next thing we know you'll be off to Hogwarts.

7. all great!

the owl is so patient and wise looking

wish I could have gotten down there... just got into Vermont yesterday -cold compared to FL- and won't be back to Miami until the 29th (son's graduation from UVM tomorrow and the Burlington Marathon next sunday)...

(Mira- I will be back up to NC to work in August so we will meet up then!)

10. Good to see the grandson

is willing to help with the under water photography. So on his hair, was it red and fading or hot pink and fading? Had to choose a favorite out of the others between the owl being adorable, being able to catch a touch of the sunset both on dad's camera and reflecting off the son's hair. The sunset is beautiful. Has it gotten warm enough for mom to swim in the salt water? I am up here worrying it might not get warm enough before ya'll have to leave.

11. Your vacation photos always

make me smile. They give me a small snapshot into your life . . . and how you embrace it . . . and embrace your surroundings.
