Week 22 July 29-August 4, 2012

This week finds me back in Thunder Bay.  We are enjoying an absolutely beautiful summer this year.  We have had plenty of sunshine and hot weather, with rain here and there.  Actually, when it rains it pours, literally!  There have been some good thunder boomers in the night.

My neighbour across the street has the most beautiful lillies - she has orange, pink and dark red, almost black.  And they always bloom while she is away on vacation.  So when she's away, I am over in her yard, taking dozens and dozens of photos.  

This turned out to be the last week of doing photography with my cast on.  (In case you may have forgotten, I broke a bone in my thumb and ended up in a cast for 5 weeks this summer). 

I ended up using a flash in this photo.  I love the rich colour of this particular lily.
