Perfection

This morning I rose early and was able to get a jog in before it got too hot.  After breakfast, I headed out to Stettler, where I ordered the material to refinish my kitchen counter top.  Then I headed to the beach at Rochon Sands...

I found the perfect parking spot.

I found the perfect spot on the beach -- a grassy knoll in the shade of a willow.

The beach was clean, clear and quiet.  This was the view from my lounge chair.

I could see clear through the water to the bottom of the lake.  

I swam out to the buoys marking the edge of the safe swimming area (before it gets deep) -- and back.

The pelicans were out at the Point.

I ate a little lunch, made a couple of watercolour sketches...

and left for home as the families began to arrive for the afternoon.

Playing again, for the first time.

A Perfect Day

I began August by spending most of the day with my daughter, right here:

Rochon Sands Provincial Park

under this Alberta sky....

The photographer went to work

And I took a few shots with my point-and-click...

A rocky pool at the end of the spit

Anyone know what these are?

Or these?

Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h.....Midsummer.....
