130/364 Captured Moments/ Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree.....

This image brings to mind the old song Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree by Glenn Miller. 

"Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree"  

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me

Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, no, no, no

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me

'Til I come marchin' home

129/365 Captured Moments - Miniature Horses & Gold Fields

Miniature horses grazing in fields of golden/green grasses almost as tall as they are.  It's quiet up here on the hill top away from the heavy traffic areas, I guess i'm just a small town girl at heart, and love these wide open spaces.

128/365 Captured Moments - A Quiet Path

A quiet path along the Fraser River.  Branches of big old trees span across the path bringing much needed shade on a hot day.  

Wild roses are beginning to bloom, I listen to the drone of the bees as they move from flower to flower.

127/365 Captured Moments - Fields of Green/Gold

The farmers are busy cutting, tettering, and bailing hay while the weather holds in a sunny warm pattern for the rest of this week.  On the way home from work I saw a field full of the small rectangle bales, reminding me of days past when the farmers would enlist family and friends to help bring the bales in, working late into the evening, you could hear them laughing and calling out in friendly competition as they tossed the bales high up onto full wagons.  Now everything is done by big impersonal machines.

126/365 Captured Moments - Snails In My Garden - Oh No!

I'm not particularly fond of snails especially in my flower beds but i do find their shells interesting. 

125/364 Captured Moments - Wild Poppies

Many times I will pass right by something and not even notice them, such was the case with these wild poppies I spotted in a farmers field as I retraced my steps after realizing that I had lost my camera strap (found it in some long grass).  

I love the tiny bud in the first image.

124/365 Captured Moments - Purple Lupine

Pretty lupine growing in clusters along a channel of shallow water in the cranberry fields.

123/365 Captured Moments of the Weekend South Langley

The weather has been glorious, sunny and warm.  Sadly I somehow managed to put my back/hip out but that didn't stop me from exploring.  I ventured into South Langley in my quest for old barns, red ones are my favorite but I also want to capture the old gray dilapidated ones, before they are no more.  

I'm sure people wonder when they see me taking pictures of their properties, or animals, and yes i'm the one that is peering into your garden with my zoom lens.  

It started off with a trip along a winding road

  

The stories these old timbers could tell.......

The dew was heavy on the grass, I love how it sparkles and the lavender tint.

I thought I had missed the Dogwoods, this image almost looks like it could be a painting.

As I was taking pictures of some other horses a couple out for a walk pointed out a road where there were some new foals.  This one was staying close to mama until its curiosity got the best of him.

And a weather vane to end the day!

Just Call Me Buttercup!

121/365 Captured Moments - Apparitions In The Fog

In the quiet morning you can hear them moving about, these creatures in the fog.  You hear the clump of heavy hoofs as they move through the dew laden grass, their heavy breaths and groans as they come towards you.  Slowly one by one these shadowy apparitions emerge from the fog to reveal themselves .....as cows.
