Sunflower fields

Happy Sunday everyone! It's a sunny, hot and humid one today. Possible thunderstorms later. We need rain badly. On our walk this morning, we noticed that the Willow trees are dropping their leaves. Same in our neighbour's backyard. Seems kind of early 🍂

This past week was good. We saw our friend Errol at the park a few times. Spicy was cuddling against him, it was ever so cute! Cooper was busy sniffing the trees 😊There is a public piano on display at the Edgewater Park until October.  The town of Pointe-Claire is inviting all citizens to play their favorite tunes. I may give it a try one of these days. We couldn't resist getting Cooper & Spicy to sit on the bench, such a beautiful and colourful piano, painted by a Quebec artist, Zoe Boivin.

We spent a good part of the week researching all about Greece. Thank you to Pauline for sharing her trip with us. It has given us a good head start. In a week or two, we will have a video call with a former colleague of mine who is Greek and knows the Greek islands inside out. We're a little all over the place at the moment in terms of which islands to visit besides Santorini so his perspective will be appreciated. Most of the hotels will not release their 2023 price list until October so we have lots of time to figure things out. In the meantime, it's fun to read all about Greece.

On Friday, Russell joined the Lakeshore Camera Club for a trip to La Belle du Coteau, in Coteau-du-Lac. They got to photograph fields of sunflowers and other flowers too. It was the perfect day although a little too bright he thought. I include a few of the photos that he took. Beautiful!

That's my blog for today. Have a great week everyone! Look for my blog next Sunday, it will be a special one!

Sunflowers as far as the eye could see.

The day was a little bright, so Russell used his
skills in Photoshop to add a new sky to this 
solo sunflower. Very pretty!

A field of wonderful red zinnias.

Black-eyed Susan looking at you.

Cooper and Spicy wanted to play a tune on the 
piano set up at Edgewater Park.
