It's Summer Time !

I'm feeling better and one reason was I was reviewing a few summer time images. As I assemble these it's snowing out now! But before long I'm sure they'll be those who will complain about the humidity!

When a Head Cold Gets Worse !

I can blame myself for this one. Some time last week the conversation came up about winter colds and flu's and I said...."I don't get'm"! Well I got one and the way it's developing it's the strangest I've ever had. About four or five days ago I got a sore throat. It wasn't too bad and after about 24 hours it never got worse. I figured that's about it.....I survived another winter. Then about two days ago the head aches began along with the scratchy throat and a slight cough. No big deal, it's just hanging on a little more I thought. And this morning I awoke to congestion, runny nose and head aches. On top of that the old bones are feel'n the pain. Time on the computer is limited, can only look at the screen for a short time. I did however managed to take some images yesterday while working on the docks, and added them here with others from the past week. Also some rough weather back in March of 2010.
