Summer Highlights from my Camera

My camera was clicking all summer long. In my backyard, up at the wonders in the sky, our new kitten, our family  and our home. I would have forgotten many of these moments if not for my camera.  Some of the experiences were a once in a lifetime 'shot'.  Life is for us to enjoy.  How can we not enjoy these moments.......

Our hawk friends brought others to hunt on our street for a good portion of the summer-lots of gophers!!

4 of them taking a break. I got these shots from our roof.

There are 2 hawks camouflaged in the foliage.

The 3 sidekicks.

My little blonde bombshell enjoying a swim.

1st day of school carpool. (It was still summer)

I finished planting ground cover with much appreciated help.

My hardworking husband on the roof. He was up there every day for 3 months (except Sundays).

Goodbye old, ugly shingles.

Tracy's son Taz helping during their July visit.

Looks lovely!

Tracy cut down a huge pine tree that was giving both us and our neighbor a lot of trouble.

 

Ariana had a great time helping.

 

 

More evidence of tree work..

 

 

A much needed rest!!

We had peaches galore and fresh vegetables thanks to Clair's garden.

The watermelons were delicious.

 

Of course, we danced.

Thanks for these shots Cody :)

I'll never stop dancing.....

All in all, a great summer!  Hope yours was great too!

What is the saying?....   We are the sum of our experiences.
