Thank you Frank! You're the 'king of reflections', so I'm well complimented :)

Davemac: yes, it's nice and warm over here right now. It's going up to 29 or so today, although with a risk of thunderstorms. Fortunately I can get most anything I need to do, done in the morning when it's cooler, then retreat to an AC cooled house for the rest of the day. Still, it's weather like this that makes winter bearable for me :)

Today was a walk around my number 1 place and although it is just outside the borough it is in places only yards away. Calf Hey Reservoir leading to Musbury Heights before a ricochet off Lower Ogden Reservoir then back to Calf Hey. You will notice from the pictures that the walk also included dramatic changes in altitude but as I don't do selfies I am unable to show you the red colour I went followed by a blue colour.

Love those pics.....they really bring home to you what it was like back then....and how the battle scars have been wiped away, but the memory lingers.

Today was a day for Raindrops on Roses and whiskers on kittens, so I bounced between two places, Memorial Park and Mercer Park.

Nice action shots of the birds - I like being able to see the feathers in action in 1, the shadow in 2, and the squabble going on in 3 :)

Number 1: one of my favourite places and the geraniums are grand;
Number 5 in the graveyard has a melancholy mood that is helped by the rain;
All the flowers look so lush dressed out in raindrops. It's so hot here right now that some of that moisture would not go amiss :)

I took Aunty out today to her favourite park over here: Gairloch Gardens in Oakville. It was too hot for her to venture out of the car, (29 degrees and very humid) so we sat in air conditioned comfort (with the engine running) and chatted for a bit. Just seeing the lake (Lake Ontario) was somewhat cooling.

Back home in Georgetown afterwards I stopped at the potters guild to load a kiln, and spotted these scented beauties outside. Are they scented phlox? I don't know much about them myself.

It was a warm rainy day, the sort that you can feel the plants growing, and there was an earthy smell from the moist ground. Enjoy the nice weather whilst you have it, the nights over here are getting closer by 15 minutes a week now.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It's a scary thought, that. About the days getting shorter, I mean. The 'greens' over here are starting to look a little tired. We are just on the cusp of tipping over into the decline that leads into autumn. Nooooooooooo!!! I'm not ready for it yet :(

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like to think of it as a different set of options, as the nights close in it is easier to take sunset snaps, I don't do sunrise as its too early in the morning, if they moved it closer to the middle of the morning I might give it a go. Then as Autumn arrives we have the reds and browns of the leaves, Then, I know this is a problem over there, but I do like a bit of snow for the Christmas card type scenes.

Re: Today in pictures
 

That's what I need, Dave, a bit of positive thinking! I'll give it a go :D

Come on; Fall's the nicest time of the year. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.:D
