Your imagination is pretty darned good too Miz Sally.

I do carry my camera everywhere with me Miz Donna, I feel naked if I accidently leave it at home (or inside if I'm outdoors).

Hi Brenda

I love the picture of your Canadian visitors. And the other two are also amazing. I particularly like the last one. That walkway over the water just appeals to me.

Brenda said...

Thank you Jeanne. It was a rare sight to see Canadian geese around here in the late spring. We were really surprised to see them swimming along. We normally only see them in winter this far south.

That walkway normally doesn't have water under it Dabrah, it leads out to the bank of the Mississippi River but the river has flooded twice already this spring so there's water where there normally isn't. Hopefully it'll be back in it's banks soon. There are lovely spots to sit and enjoy the view on the walkway and it's nice if the mosquitoes aren't being vicious.

I love your photo challenges too Brenda! Do you ever get tired of the flooding? It seems like you have had alot of that lately. We here in NY are WAY behind in the rain department!!

Brenda said...

We'd be delighted for you to join in

We're 9 inches above normal in rain fall this year but it's for the first time in years. We've been dry, dry. Really, the flooding doesn't affect us because there's this huge levee system along the Mississippi River here. It's only where the distance from the river bank and the levees is covered with thousands of acres of farm ground where it's doing a lot of damage. Folks that live where there are few or no levees (along the White River, the Arkansas River, etc,) are losing their homes.
