Some gorgeous skies tonight.
I wasn't going to post because I was late in getting photos together.
It has been cloudy and raining a bit over the past several days. Today the sky was a bit unsettled but tonight the light is still bright enough. I hurriedly snapped a few pics and resized for sharing.
Next week we will have the official start of our summer season.
Despite our Spring season starting off rather hot, it has cooled down considerably.
That is probably good to help ensure we don't have so many wild fires this summer (time will tell).
I hope your season is treating you to glorious skies wherever you are.
A few blossoms from my container garden.
The last photo is of a friendly dog I met in the neighbourhood.
While I sat on a bench and rested he was wandering around.
He came up to me several times so I could pet him and would have stayed longer
with me but his owner beckoned him home.
I noticed the dog's rich and luscious fur while petting him.
His owner must take very good care of him.
Sorry the photo is blurred.
I took it quickly and surreptitiously with my phone camera.
I guess I was trying to take it a little too quickly.
This is a late entry for
Thank you for stopping by. Have a great weekend everyone.

What lovely shots. It's hot here in Sweden with lots of wildfires!

Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend. PS, thank you for visit and commenting on my post.
ReplyDeleteSpaniels are friendly fellows, in my experience. Love your flowers, too.
ReplyDeleteThe building with trees growing on top is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThe steeple looks so majestic in the first shot. Lovely! I’m enjoying the cooler weather and occasional raindrops, especially in view of fire prevention.
ReplyDeleteIn or out of focus, that dog looks adorable. I wish our little white dog could stay that clean!
ReplyDeleteI always admire people who can grow brightly-coloured container gardens. I do not have a green thumb myself, however, so must be content with enjoying the photos of others...thank you for sharing these. (And my favourite? The second one...with the sky above and the bare branches below.)\Kay

ReplyDeleteI was just admiring the sky yesterday and taking lots of photos! Love your images of the skies and the flowers. Of course, the little dog is adorable, too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and especially the dog! I am always drawn to animals. Your plants are looking great now.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a great view from the building with the trees on top, but not so great for those living behind it.
Lovely photos here at the "end" of spring! Beautiful skies and flowers. Loved the sweet dog too...reminds me of an English Springer Spaniel we had when our daughter was small, a dog we called Taffy but her registered name was Maid Marian IV (looks like Maid Marian was a popular name! :-) )
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful dog, Penny. and the plant with the silver/grey foliage and purple bloom is exquisite! Thanks for sharing your beautiful skies too, I've seen your message on FB but have had internet issues again. I'll try to reply soonest:) Blessings Jo
ReplyDeleteLove your purple pansies.
ReplyDeleteIt is chilly here at night, but warms up to 70 or so in the afternoon. We've had a good mix of sun and rain and everything is very green.
Love your sky photos. Earlier tonight I was commenting on blogs and happened to glance out the window and see glorious colors in the sky - so much that I cried out OH and ran outside to take pictures - coming to a post soon! Enjoy your week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLots of color in your container garden. It's so hot here, some are going great guns but the pansies are having trouble taking it all. Ah, Summer.
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
I love the mountains in your first photo. So unlike our green carpeted hills where I live in upstate New York. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
