Cool Birds
I wondered if summer would ever come. A very long, cold spring made summer hesitate. But these past few days we've had record-breaking temperatures. Wading in the ocean is the best way to cool off. The Canada Geese apparently thought so, too. And a bald eagle is perched on the rock in the very bottom photo, the same eagle seen flying off in the top photo.
I'm not minding the heat at all. I know its days are numbered and I like to soak it in while I can. Visit Mary's blog for more Mosaic Monday photos.

Wading in the ocean does sound like a good way to cool off. We went for a swim in the lake with A. and O.
ReplyDeleteAny water source is great for cooling off in the sweltering heat. As a child, Lake Michigan was across town for our cool down trips, now the Pacific Ocean is only about an hour away.
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic! I like to capture the birds at the water too.
Your pictures are just beautiful, Lorrie! Thanks so much for entering our Heavenly Hostess APRON GIVEAWAY! xo Lidy
