Mother Nature at Her Best!!!

You miss me???? I know it has been awhile but every time I think of doing this I am either into something else or the camera is in the backseat of the car so I have it with me at all times because there has been some times that I actually missed out on some photos...

It is fall and the wonderful colors are showing up more and more each day... today Pat and I went out for dinner and up to the falls.. the salmon are in the pools but not jumping yet... I guess that means I am going to have to get up there in the morning some day and see if I can capture one of the jumping the falls.... in all the years that I have tried to get one jumping I have only got one photo with an older camera... maybe I will have some luck this time....

Correction here it was not a grey heron it is a blue heron and the reason why I am telling you this ... I have been seeing lots of them around this year... and actually getting photos of them....

Robin at his place... was done to visit on the weekend.. and he was working at getting his patio fixed up from rotten boards... he does do more then computers he he...

September 13, 2009

Ran away for a little while to take some photos and came across this cow.. the first photo its head was behind the post but almost like on cue it moved it so I could take a better photo of it...

September 14, 2009

The sky was very clear that day and I just couldn't help but take a photo of this... looks like a brush stroke from an artist's painting....

September 15, 2009

I didn't get too many roses this year and was surprised a few mornings ago when I looked out my bedroom window to see this last of the season on the vine... so you know I had to go out and take a photo of it as I was heading out to town....

September 16, 2009

Yet another old building I found on my driving around and had to snap a photo of it....

September 17, 2009

I was out at the garden and when I was walking back up I notices these flowers... I was totally amazed they had not did anything all winter and come the fall they are just beautiful...

September 18, 2009

We were talking in the dining room when Carl said what just flew by... of course my back was to the window and I had no idea... he went and looked out the window to find yet another Blue Heron in our garden... I was lucky to get this photo because as soon as I started to snap the next door neighbors came down their driveway with their 4 wheeler and the bird flew away....

September 19, 2009

Another stop off at the ducks to feed and watch them for a while... it is so relaxing to watch them float around the river....

September 20, 2009

I took a photo of this tree before in the spring time... the two and one... was around today to see what it was like after a summer's growth... kind of cool looking

September 21, 2009

Another trip down to Carron Point and to stop for yet another photo of a blue heron....they look for gracefully... standing and when they fly away...

September 22, 2009

Another old building along the way home... never stopped to take a photo because there was always traffic behind me until today....

September 23, 2009

Maple tree in the middle of everything... as I said was up to the Falls with Pat this afternoon... I can't believe the water is so low... it is the lowest in years I have been told... that is good I can get closer to get hopefully some photos of jumping salmon...

Have a great one all.... Joanne

9 Days... I guess I wasn't all that fast getting back here *Sign*

Yvette, Carl always called the flower these berries come from wild hosta but I found out that they are not even close... they are the berries that come from the May Flower... Love the May flower in the spring and the berries in the fall... they are not eatable...

This week it has been a lot of I am on my way home but end up turning left then right and ending up getting home an hour or so later then I thought I was...one of my favorite places this time of the year is around the Basin where the ducks are... of course I bought some crack corn to feed them but took it over to mom and dad's to give them some and ended up forgetting it on top of the fridge and I still have not picked it up so I have been on the mercy of others that come and visit them...

September 03, 2009

Some one threw a piece of bread into the water and this little fellow went flying to get it ...

September 04, 2009

I have been playing with the setting on my camera for the first time since I got it over a year ago... thank you Jill... after cleaning out my cupboard I actually found my book on the camera now to get to them to sit down and read up on all these setting and see what I am going to come up with next....

September 05, 2009

There are many days I have driven by this tree and thought of it was a little odd so I finally took the time to take a photo... it doesn't show it in the photos but the tree is very tall but that is about all that is on the tree.. all the rest is gone...

September 06, 2009
Another wild flower turning to seed... I have no idea what it was... but I thought it was kind of cool when I came across it...

September 07, 2009

Another night with the ducks... the only thing there is no ducks... I just thought the reflection was cool and took the photo...

September 08, 2009

Two nights in a row at the ducks... this rock is the one I took several years ago during the spring time... when the ice was all around it and the sun was shining oh so perfect... I only had my sandels on but there is a series of rocks that I would like to snap so I do have to go back with my sneakers on... to do it .. I have to climb down a bank to get to it... the river is filled with down as the ducks wandr around this area....

Septembr 09, 2009

Grey Heron Crane... as I was driving up to west for something or other and what was sitting in the harbour... I have to say I am very happy about the little parking lot that they made allow the back of the Fed Building for us to park and picnic tables along the way so we can walk or sit or take photos...

September 10, 2009

Mom and I were at the Dollar Store and I found some scare crows so you know that I came home with several of them.. I only came home with one of them the others are in mom's flower beds... she is enjoying them...

September 11, 2009

Another one of those nights that I turned left instead of right and came home with this photo... what can I say... sun sets and clouds besides getting eaten alive while I was taking them.. which reminds me when I head out to Moncton tomorrow I will have to stop and pick up some new jeans... just hoping that I lost enough to say I am once again into a new smaller size.... *smiling at the thought of it*

Have a great weekend... I am while I enjoy my time with Robin and Amanda... Joanne

It has been a while again ... I was heading here on Sunday to end the month but as I took my camera upstairs to download the puppies when crazy because someone drove in the yard... Surprise Surprise Carl came home for a visit... all was forgotten until last night when I was talking to my sister and she mentioned that I had not been posting for a while..

August 25, 2009

I had to stop once again to take a photo of the reflection of the clouds onto the water in the harbour... the water was once again as smooth as glass ...

August 26, 2009

So I was in the garden today ... and I think it took me too long to go picking because this is not a squash but an English cucumber that I got out of it... Think I should have been in there a lot sooner...

August 27, 2009

On May 29, 2009 I posted crap apple blossoms

and after a few months of lots of water and sunshine this is the results....

Can't wait to go picking to make some crap apple jelly...

August 28, 2009

I have been trying to catch a photo of hay season for over a week or more now

and each time they are in the field I either don't have my camera with me

or there is too much traffic behind me to stop...

So I was coming out of mom's place today and as I looked up the road... there was this farmer doing his hay...

August 29, 2009

I am figuring that most of you have come to realize that I am a flower person... I love taking photos of flowers and nature... so I thought I would go out and see what else there was around and came across this yard... this is one of the photos I took... everything they had in their yard was painted for Acadian Day's....

August 30, 2009

There is one thing about not going very far and then realizing that I didn't take a photo for the day... my back yard... besides the flower beds there is always the woods around the land to go looking for something to take a photo or two or 1000 he he

August 31, 2009

Back out in the woods looking once again... Carl is home... didn't have much time for a lot of things since we went out looking for a new TV today....

September 1, 2009

I noticed the berries yesterday while I was walking back to the house and thought I should take a few photos of them... after the lawn was done... and yes I did it while Carl played with his jeep preparing for the trip back to work ... I thought good time to snap a few photos of the berries...

September 2, 2009
Didn't even have to leave my bedroom for this one... 2 weeks ago I once again received some great news but it would have been great news either way from Robin and Amanda... so I am wondering can any one guess if it is a girl or a boy.... and what I have made since I received the news... busy grand mom....

See you all soon... Joanne

August 18 to August 24, 2009

Another week has come and gone and I am back with more photos to share... now I have to say there is a few that were taken on the same day but were meant to be taken on the days that they are marked... like Friday's I drove by to see that the tower was finally up but didn't get much time to return with my camera to take the photo because I forgot to pack it in the car as I was leaving.. .imagine me without my camera.. so when I was out this morning alone which is something else that I have not been since Wednesday I took the time to take the photo for Friday....

August 18, 2009
One of these days I am going to have an accident and it is going to be my fault and I will admit to it ... I have a thing with clouds and when they caught my eye I can't seem to look away and pay attention to the road... this one was one of those that I said enough is enough and stopped to snap it... I guess clouds are like sunrises and sunsets.. never one the same and I would love to caught everyone of them....

August 19, 2009

Too tall grass going to seed but it looks like wheat to me... mixed with the cattails and its blades of grass... I love this stuff and taking photos of it makes it all worth the time I take to do it...

August 20, 2009

Another old barn not looked after and about to fall down and I am there with the camera to snap a few photos of it before it comes tumbling down and it will be no more...

August 21, 2009
It has taken most of the summer but the roof is finally on the tower downtown... now I can't wait to get up there to take a few photos of our town at a different view .... well went they decide to open it up that is... How come I am thinking there is going to be a gift shop or something like it at the ground level...

August 22, 2009

Carl and I took off Saturday morning and did a little trip the long way to Mr. Tomato just to see what there was in their bakery... and came across this stainless steel soldier... in Millerton NB...

August 23, 2009

I once again escaped from the house early morning but a little too late to get the sunrising... but caught the Canadian Flag waving very proudly on the causeway....

August 24, 2009

This is what greeted me this morning... ohhh so beautiful...

Carl left at 3:30 am and I got up at 4 and at 5:30 I said no way am I going to miss this one... so I pulled on a pair of jeans, my old favorite flannel shirt just in case it was cool but the bay and my trustee wool cap not to show anyone that happened to go by that I didn't brush my hair yet....but I never thought there would be so much traffic down this way at this hour of the morning....came home happy after snapping almost 100 photos so I can have a few good ones.....it was a cloudy day but beautiful just the same... going to have to go back and try for the sun another day.....

With the do over TV room I got into my photos again looking for things to hang on the walls... when that was finished I started to replace those that have been hanging for the last year... I see a few of these being hung in the near future...

Have a great week all... I thought I would have some different photos for you this coming week with a trip down country but Matt's home going to do it when he leaves... a puppies and me trip.... Joanne

This week I have spent a lot of time is other people's gardens taking pictures of their creations... I have been driving around town all summer admiring all the work that other people have done with their flowers and never really took the time to see if I could take some photos of them... until this week... I found out that people love to know that someone else is admiring the work they have done to make their yards look so beautiful... I also have walked through a few fields of wild flowers as well.... discovering a few things about my camera since I really have not taken the time to do that since I got it almost a year ago....

August 14, 2009

I am not really a pink person and I have actually picked flowers for my garden that are not pink for that reason but these just caught my eye and took quite a few photos of them... thanks Cathy for letting me lay around snapping photos ....

August 15, 2009

While I was in yet another yard I noticed the squash flowers in their patch and how beautiful they are... so I took several photos of these as well....

August 16, 2009

Though I had several photos I decided I wanted for this day... when I drove in my year and seen the two jets in the sky I knew that this would be the one that would end up being posted... I remember going to the beach with the boys when they were younger with no camera and seeing the hundreds of jets that flew over head... today when I get a chance I snap them....

August 17, 2009

Last week I got out a few times but today I decided that it had to be a field of flowers... actually I was looking for cat tails and grass that looked like wheat... and as I drove around my old neighborhood before heading home... I found what I was looking for... but once again it was given up for this little daisy that seem to be saying take me I am so pretty...

Fall is soon going to be upon us and there will be no more flowers to take... but the leaves will be changing which is yet another favorite thing of mine... I seem to go by hay season without time or a camera to snap them making their hay... but then I don't like being too close to all of that since I have allergies to the stuff... I also need a trip to my sister's place to take some photos of her wonderful flower beds and of course her grapes....

Well that is it for now... have a great one all... I am going to sit back and enjoy the air condition for another day... he he Joanne

August 6 to 13

I know it has been a while but I was busy with many things... going out with my niece Jill and her new camera... love her new camera don't like her at all... but she knows I I do just a little jealous... well okay a lot jealous... I want one too... and painting my TV room which took a lot longer then I thought it would but then Carl was suppose to be away for two weeks I had all the time in the world... but I am here with some more photos for you to see... enjoy

August 6, 2009
Clouds are one of my favorite things I like to take photos of... there is never one the same so each one is different in its own way...

August 7, 2009
Of course if I see a flower I also have to take a photo of it... this one was in my parent's back yard... I am sure if I took the time to look it up I could tell you what it is... but they were so tall this year I had to take a few photos of them...

August 08, 2009
This was a photo I didn't even think it came out because the ducks were so far away....

August 09, 2009
When out into my garden to see what it was looking like since I really have not worked all that much on it.. but some flowers were really doing good ... thanks to mother nature this time... I had nothing to do with it....

August 10, 2009
Jill and I were along the river... we didn't drive all that far when I stopped the car for a photo of this that and the other thing... these got my curiosity up from afar we were not sure what they were.. but they are cones that the tree sap dropped on to... I thought it was very cool...

August 11, 2009
Bumble bees and camera ... the first camera I had and discovered that I could a distance away from them and take a picture I think that summer I had hundreds of bumble butts... and as you can see I am still taking them after 12 years....

August 12, 2009
Ok I am not really a bug person .... I don't like them flying around me and sure as heck not on me.. but I was making tea and went to get water and found this on my sink... of course I had to take a photo of it only hoping that it wouldn't take off on me before I did... and yes it disappeared after the photo shoot... not saying where some people wouldn't be happy with me at all... but I really don't like bugs especially in my house....

August 13, 2009

A movie, Jr. mints, purse and of course my sin... on the front seat of my car... and why did I take this one.. I was in the yard at the end of the day and as I was getting out I realized I didn't take a photo for the day.... and snapped it...

Have a great one all... I will be back sooner or later... hopefully sooner he he... Joanne

August 1 to August 5

Another month already.... Time seems to be moving really fast these days...

August 1, 2009

You know who

Being a you know what...

August 2, 2009

This thing sat in my yard all weekend...

only for Carl to be wishing he could use it

to make the pond in the back

he has been wanting to make for the last 5 or so years...

August 3, 2009

My youngest was home for a visit this weekend

and had to take a trip up tot he falls

even though he has been there a hundred times before

It seems it is a place to go when everybody comes home.

August 4, 2009
Some more wild flowers...

August 5, 2009

You know when you are doing something

and you come up with this great idea and

then you do it and it turns out really bad...

well this is one of them for me...

there was no second try on it either...

I just painted the wall aqua and left it at that...

Thinking that a photo and frame would have

been easier which was my real first thought...

now to find a photo I want to put on it...

Well that is it for now... time for painting and gardening... have a great one Joanne
