TGIFFF – Tonguely Is Off Joy Riding
….last week he was taking it easy but he’s making up for this week
Today is International Car Collectors Appreciation Day. This is reminiscent of the days when Kevin and I owned a VW Beetle but we never jammed this many friends into that car.

Trees Framing the City Skyline
Thursday Trios – Beware of Threes
…some threes, like the three leaves on poison ivy can be very problematic if you tough them
Apart from the poison ivy there is no impending danger from the other two photos, unless, however, you were to help yourself to one of the pairs of shoes that were openly displayed at the edge of someone’s front lawn. They looked like they were put out for people to take but how would you feel if someone accused you of stealing them?
Do you have any interesting photos of trios? Join the fun. Copy the link from this post and paste it into your own post and I should get a pingback.
First Ice-cream of the Summer
…on Tuesday this week when we had the hottest day of the summer so far
On Tuesday I decided to drive through High Park and stop and take some photos of the flowers. The flowers were a bit disappointing. I think the gardeners were more focused on the Gypsy Moths that were defoliating much of the trees in the park. I’m happy to report that the mess on the roads that my husband experienced the week before had been resolved and the only evidence that there had been a problem was the sparse canopy in the wooded areas. Normally this time of year the trees are very lush and full but this year the caterpillars had quite a feast and there was a lot of light coming through the trees.
I quickly realized that the heat was going to be a problem but then I noticed that the ice-cream vendor was open and I decided to purchase my first ice-cream of the season.
I enjoyed my treat in a nice shady area but I soon realized once I started walking that ice-cream on a hot day doesn’t necessarily cool you down and it actually makes you more thirsty.

Wacky Bird Wednesday – July 7, 2021
….just in time for Thursday Trios as well
My husband wasn’t particularly pleased with his most recent post for Monster Monday so he tried to play around with more art techniques and decided to add more detail for this week’s Wacky Bird. Well as you can see his Wacky Bird turned into three wacky birds.

I can’t believe that I forgot about the square challenge for July and it’s about trees. Those of you who know me know how much I love to photograph trees. I’m going to make up for being late by posting a bunch of trees today.
Our First Walk on the Beach
…last week my daughter, daughter-in-law and I drove up to Christian Island to open up our cottage for the season
We lucked out with the weather. It only rained at night and the hot blistering temperatures from the west haven’t yet arrived this far east. After spending the evening cleaning the inside of the cottage (sweeping out the mouse poop, airing out the cushions, setting up the fridge, making up the beds, and putting away the food) we decided to explore the beach the next morning.
Luckily we have a beach again. The water levels have receded and the numerous trees that had started to grow on the beach have disappeared.
