Photo Journal - July12-18


And what were the highlights of a week in July?

A boat ride to a friend's cabin and a weekend there with good friends. Breakfast on the patio - Long Island, Harrison Lake.
Jerome, a young man from Belgium, met on the beach at the
Harrison Festival of the Arts, whom we hosted overnight.
A stranger met, a friend made.
A brave fellow to tackle a year long bicycle trip across Canada.
Travel safely Jerome.


Mmmm.. fresh locally grown raspberries and Okanagan apricots.
made into jam.


A precious grandprincess, enjoying the early morning sunshine.

Baby B's first taste of plums and raspberries
- oh yeah - bring it on!An excited grandboy piloting the boat by himself.
A waterfight between grandboy and his PopPop.

Grandson N loving the (cold!) water.

A warm cuddle after a swim.

Wondeful patterns in the rocks on the beach made by the action of the waves.Baby B's delighted giggles - oh how he loves his Daddy!

Watching a moth (?) probing the flowers for it's evening meal.

Enjoying the trellis Harv built for me. My Honeysuckle and Trumpet Vine now have a beautiful place to climb.

How in the world did you manage the moth one. That is amazing to be able to capture that.
Nice memories.

Wonderful photo's bev. The moth picture is amazing. I didn't know that moths had probes.
Your big boy and little boys surely do look alike. How fun.
