Something on a something... Pictures taken on a kayaking trip around Camden Harbor. I was nervous the entire trip because the camera I had was not water proof. Kayakers on the water and a lighthouse on an island Most of the trip wasn't too bad but outside the harbor the water was was much rougher even on this relatively calm day, making the pictures of the lighthouse somewhat dicey.

I don't know why, but I am so attracted to day lilies. There is something about their colors that I can't resist. There are some really beautiful ones here today. Bob, I've never seen a fairie ring before. Thanks for sharing that. Though the waspy looking creatures look nasty. Interesting pictures all around today. Thanks.

Today my wife rode in a horse show that was sponsored by a local high-end saddle maker. It was her first show on her younger horse Brooklyn since February when the horse was injured. The show consisted of a round of "Hunters" (where the horse is judged on on how well it moves while jumping the course) and round of "Equitation" (where the rider is judged on how well she rides a more difficult course of jumps) and a written portion that had to be completed by the day before the show. She got second place in the Hunter round, fourth place in the Equitation round and with the points from the written portion, she ended up in first place overall.In addition to the ribbons, the painted tray, and a small amount of prize money (enough to cover her entry fees and have about $120 left to bring home) she also won half off a custom saddle of the new design that the saddle maker has developed.

Uh-oh . . . they're flying south already? Or maybe they are south. I forget where you live, Gaz. :-) Here's one of those explosive skies (the good kind) I love to come upon.
