To The Beach and Then Some!

It was a crazy week weather wise. Torrential rains like I've never seen before ending with heat and oppressive humidity! It rained so hard the fish in my fish pond were wearing raincoats!

 This is a path that leads to a brook that looked like a brook itself!
 Treezilla!

Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That!

Just being random around town, along the water and in the yard and out of this world!

Coming in for a landing!
 Hanging around.
 Surfers at Good Harbor Beach.
 Walking the footbridge.
 Hazy morning.
 Canopy of trees at Moorland Road.
 Top of the road.
 A monster ripping up asphalt.
 Sun rays over the city.
 St. Ann's Church
 My new rain barrel to feed the fish pond.
 My neighbor put out a like new free reel mower, I couldn't resist.
 A bird flew close to me and when I looked up I saw this, a happy rainbow!
 The comet over Gloucester through a slight haze!

Getting Back to Normal....Sort Of!

I work the overnight shift at the Beauport Hotel and for about 3 months it was a lonely job. I was the only one working in an empty hotel. But now the hotel is open with all the Covid-19 precautions in place. It's nice to see my co-workers again and meeting new people. Functions are still on hold and valet service is suspended for obvious reasons. In the meantime I managed to get a lot of yard work done and even organized my shed.
         Here are a few images from the week:

Infant Praying Mantis on my fence post!
