Brain freeze- Snaphappy playing & learning

[snaphappy]

Spent the long weekend camping so many pics to go through
Gave the kids some sparklers and we celebrated Canada Day very early


Morning clouds on mtns


32C and watched this cloud move in as we arrived home to severe thunderstorm warning


Got monsters clicking my old P&S cameras as we hiked up to see Falls

My new arrival just before the storm hit


Not so sure I should be in his shelter and not wanting to be wet either


Playing with fast shutter Rain and rainbows

Noisy I know but lights last night and heavy fog in the trees

I give up on trying to PP my aperture 2 just keeps crashing my computer so nothing but iPhoto and they're all mixed up as I try to catch up on going through my photos

A couple girls at the campsite entrance unfortunately they wouldn't allow me close enough to fill flash...

I like this one. The reflection of the cattails is great

Later another loon joined and both stayed above the water for more than 2secs

Loon on the lake


Unfortunately the Loons didn't come close enough, never stay above the water for more than 10secs its seems and come up just about anywhere! They showed up in the evening and we saw them again early in the morning but none where I had good light. We did have an amazing experience as we sat around the campfire late at night though because we were right on the lake the loons must have been within feet of us because it awesome to hear the call of them. It started when some called from very far away but then the mournful sounding calls were returned (VERY LOUDLY) from very close. My daughter said it sounded kind of creepy but then they followed up with their laughing sound which made us giggle because it was immediately after she said it sounded creepy LOL They continued to call back and forth and it was lovely. No fantastic photos of the memory but these will do

Hubby was afraid we'd miss out on a good spot at the drive in so refused to pull over. I had to settle for a rear view

And whoosh she's off

simply because she can

Thirsty thirsty after running like fools in the lovely cool evening after a hot lazy day
Terrible composition but I like the spooky twinkle in Smokeys eye and the relaxed mellow look to Shylo, while Comet tries to nuzzle her way past the big (fat!) pushy boys

my faithful shadow taking a break in the grass (13yrs is ancient for giant breeds), while my boys explore in the grass and the ponies run because they can in the lovely cool evening
