Night at Gambo Pond

We took a little road trip this past weekend and had Saturday night at 

Gambo Pond with our dear friends.

We did a little boating, a little fishing, lots of eating and relaxing.  

I forgot my camera, so all these photos were taken on my phone.....

quality is not great, but you'll get the picture...te he!! 

I'll let the photos do the talking.....

Sharon loves to mix up fancy drinks!!  The glass on the far left is for
hubby (not a fan of fruit cocktails)

  

Dave's has many specialties, but his smoked salmon 

ranks very close to the top....mmm!!

We put up a Chinese lantern when we came back from our boat ride......

  and then topped off the night with a beach fire.  

Cheers

Evening stroll overlooking the ocean in Flatrock

Here's what you're likely to see if you take a stroll around the ocean area of Flatrock these days...

Seagulls hanging around, waiting for the last of the fishers 

to return with their last catch of the day.

These guys have reservations for the choice seats...

The fishers clean their catch here, and the seagulls get to feast!

What a pretty sight this dory was, as the sun was beginning to set ...

Cheers

Colors in my Flatrock Garden

After a very busy weekend, I took some time this morning, before my morning walk, 

to stroll around my garden, camera in hand.  

The weather has been lovely and all the shrubs and flowers are flourishing.......

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Cheers

Cows and Wild Roses

I took today and Monday off, to have an extra long weekend.  

We are having our 2nd Annual Ward-Fudge Garden Party on Sunday, so I 

have lots of preparations to do, and I hate being all rushed.  

This morning, I got up early to take a hike out around the ocean trails.  

(Driving home from work yesterday, I noticed a iceberg pretty close to the shoreline)

I took my camera in case I could get some good shots of it.  No such luck!!

The winds had changed overnight, and though still quite visible, I didn't bother 

trying to photograph it.  

Instead I decided to take a stroll  on a different trail,  and I wasn't disappointed!

There was a bunch of very happy and contented-looking cows in a pasture........

 

 On my way back, I came across these lovely wild roses, peeking out 

through a beautiful old fence....

The smell of these roses was almost intoxicating, and they looked so very beautiful!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Cheers

Unplanned is best!!

Yesterday was a very nice day.  It wasn't hot,but it was sunny and a great day for garden chores. Around 3 or so, hubby and I popped over to the supermarket to grab some 

fresh fruit and a few "odds 'n' ends". 

On our way back home, we dropped in to visit my niece and her hubby.  He had just returned from a 3-week work assignment in Abu Dhabi.

It's true, what they say, sometimes the best times are those totally unplanned. 

My niece and I strolled about in her yard, and watered some plants.while the 

guys did a little work in the greenhouse. 

They insisted that we stay, and we had an awesome unplanned BBQ, and spent a beautiful 

Saturday evening sitting around, having a "time"on the back deck ..................

 

Cheers
