This piece of driftwood looks like the skull and horns of animal, like maybe a long horned antelope.

This round barn, which is over 100 years old, may be enjoying sunshine today but may need to shed some water from the possible rain tomorrow.

With slightly lower temperatures, it was more pleasurable to spend time outside so a walk looking for wildflower might be a good activity on a Sunday sunny summer day. Last summer my sister showed me the different flowers growing around her area including these Tuberous Grass-pink, an orchid native to eastern North America.

When I was up to Lake Superior last month, this bird was dashing around a marshy area as I drove past it but it stopped long enough for me to get a picture of it.

After some rainy days, the daisies and other flowers seemed to enjoy the sun today. Daisies always suggest summer to me.

The day was rather gray with different waves of storms rolling through and a little dark when the power went off.

A water slide would feel good today with the high heat index, and this natural slide is one of the series of falls and slides of the Siskiwit River. After this first slide, there are bigger ones down stream as the water drops and makes its way into Lake Superior.

I had finished the mowing and a few other chores outside when I came in for supper this evening. The next thing I noticed was water dripping off the roof but the sun was shining. So I grabbed my camera as I figured there would be a rainbow and when I started out down to my pond, it was just light sprinkles. In a few minutes, those tiny drops turned into lots of big drops that pelted me and caused big splashes in the pond. Between scrambling to keep my camera dry under my shirt (which was soaked very quickly) and someone forgetting to change the exposure setting from the moon shots, not too many pictures turned out without raindrops on the lens. I was standing close to this same spot, but this rainbow was taken on a different day when there was only one raindrop on the camera lens and I didn’t get as soaked taking the picture.

The milkweed is blooming and the flowers are drawing in different insects, like the snowberry clearwing, which looks like a hummingbird when they hover as it feeds on the nectar but it really is a moth.

There were people out fishing today on this hot holiday Sunday, although it might have been cooler to be in the water than on the water. I don’t know how many fish these guys caught but the osprey has a large mouth bass in its claws.
