HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MOON!
The moon turns new tomorrow (Sunday). I hope everyone has a joyful, healthy, and safe week!
I know, Pat -- goodness knows where the hours and the days go.... I'll join you in your arachnophobia. Argh! I would be running in the opposite direction to any spider bigger than teeny. My solution is usually to put something over it, like a glass, & hope someone else will put it outside for me. Those temperatures are scary too, Diane. It's been reported recently that places in Europe are recording their highest ever recorded temps, in places like Italy and Greece. Sunshine here today but barely 20 degrees, quite cool for August.
Glad you enjoyed my pictures - we watched the windsurfer for a while as he fought to keep upright. I took my pics from inside the car as the wind was whipping across the water!
Here are some more of him:
I hope that the man & his dog don't mind being shown, as they're in silhouette. Aren't the clouds dramatic?
Lindybird; It was that wonderful sky that caught my eye in those photos of the windsurfer. I sat up straight when I first read your post about your OH going out in his shorts to play golf because shorts, on this side of the Pond, are men's underwear and I had visions of him making his way from green to green with white cotton undies billowing in the breeze as he went.....
Diane: Funny about that wolf spider because for the past week, I've been going out to pick up the paper first thing and running into spider webs. And I too was thinking, 'Isn't it a bit early for this?' Also, saw fluffy white flowers on the brush cherry bushes out back and thought the same thing because after them come the winter berries. Talking of spiders, woke up at 4 this morning, turned on the light to read for a bit and immediately spotted a small dark shape lurking in a corner. I ignored him until he started meandering across the ceiling toward the bed - definitely a no-go zone - so got the broom and swept him off - somewhere.... Meanwhile, condolences on that miserable weather....

That's what makes the photos so beautiful.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Just a thought
