Summer Lovin' - Recent Photos 2016

​Mt. Hood in Oregon, seen from Lost Lake

 

Actually most of our summer is hot and humid like this. We go from extreme cold to high heat in a very short time. But compared to winter, it's welcome. It would be nice to live somewhere more temperate though. Warmer (and shorter!) winters and cooler (and longer) summers.

What about this Bad Boy ?



Anyone Know what These are Called ?? You wouldn't like to walk through them

Aren't they thistles?

 

Just Got The Answer From another forum They are Sea Holly !

 

Gorgeous pics, Mally! I'm late in telling you the plants are Sea Holly (botanical name Eryngium, you may see it as that as well). The blue bracts are their main attraction, the actual flower (thistle part) isn't much to look at.

 

One of the flower displays at the park. They change them every year. I like the combo of Black-Eyed Susans and the Taro in the middle.

It was a glorious day today. The lake was glistening and the temperature was perfect, hot in the sun but cool in the shade, low humidity with a nice breeze.






This guy was chowing down on something he caught in the lake. I can't tell if it's a fish or a piece of garbage. These guys aren't too picky.

 

Very Original

I love that pic. Unless there's photoshop involved!

 

Pixel by pixel forensic evidence would suggest a flock of birds and a few cirrus clouds were carefully erased
