It’s late June and the summer rains have blessed us with plenty of water, the ponds are full, the gardens are abundant and everything seems to grow a foot a day. Most days we try to get our outside chores done while it’s still cool, in the mornings. This summer I have many things to tend to including the new Art Studio we are building. Deb and I have a number of art projects in the works with a collaborative exhibit upcoming in August. Most of my photos are captured within the gardens of our homestead as I have had very little time to venture out and explore my favorite haunts. This being a close to home summer, I am provided with intimate moments watching the flowers bloom and the fairies dance. It’s been a delight and I’m happy to share the beauty I see. Enjoy.

Well, I did get out back with my trusty dusty Canon 10D infrared DSLR today and shot off a few frames. The most interesting shot was the old paint shaker up on the Laurel Oak stump. Did you see my Flickr series on milling limber? Well this giant Water Oak dropped a tree sized branch in the yard barely missing my utility trailer. When these oaks start dropping branches it’s time to bring them down. Deb and I miss the giant oak but after that last storm broke off my west side neighbor’s trees and dumped them in our yard I was really happy that we cut our oak down and milled it for lumber. Enough said, almost time to put up the Art Studio. Maybe my next post will be the framing. Enjoy the summer!
