Welcome Sunny Weather

The weather is sunny again which lifts the spirits.  I'm able to download a few photos which is a relief as photography is my main hobby even though we're not venturing far at the moment.  It has been good to take a walk around the garden and take photos that I can download once again although sometimes the way I do it is not the usual one.   I've had to write down the process.  Sometimes it works and at other times it doesn't. :(

Here are some of the garden in Autumn.  

  






The above two are ones of our daughter D's garden when the grapes are ripe for gathering.  She usually makes grape jam with them.  Our own grapes will be left for the birds as usual although the ones in the greenhouse have ripened and have been enjoyed.  :)


Daughter D is in charge of gardening at the school where she works and above shows some of the produce that she and the children grew together.   Daughter D made soup for the children to try a small amount and more was consumed during the staff lunch break. Earlier in the year the children grew and enjoyed strawberries in season.  

That's all for now.  Thank you for coming by.  Have a good weekend and a peaceful week ahead.

An Adventure in Canada


Thank you for your kind comments left on my blog last time when I mentioned I was having technical difficulties with downloading recent photos taken.  Here is another recent photo that I managed to download from last year when one of our grandson's came to visit around about the time when we gather the mature figs.  Grandson No 3 has just come back from a fishing trip to Canada which he won through his work connections.  (He works in a fishing tackle shop and fishing has been his main hobby for many years).  The fishing trip was exciting for him as Canada was a new experience.  He loves to be out in the natural world in quiet places.  He saw brown bears - albeit from a safe distance. His photos on one of the Canadian lakes with a team of other enthusiasts that he put on his social media account were good to see.


Of course, this huge fish was put back safely in the water.

Regarding my technical problems with downloading photos I haven't solved the issue yet and will have to use archived photos for now until I have time to sort out the problem.  However, I'll keep in touch.  Thank you for coming by.  Have a good day!

Autumn Scene

 

I'm still unable to download recent photos.  This is an old photo of the local countryside in Autumn.  Thank you for your kind comments on my last blog post.  Happy Sunday to you all dear blog friends. P.S.  I'm going to take a break from blogging until I've worked out a way to download photos from camera to computer with a new download programme that I'm finding difficult to use.
