Yummy!

I got a new Gary Fong Lightsphere II (cloudy) for my camara today.  So I decided to play around with it and see if it lived up to it’s reputation.  I have to say, it is awesome!!!!  Elle decided she wanted to pose for me.  Instead she insisted on jumping up in down.  Still, I think the pictures turned out pretty cute!

I just wanted to share the result of our Homemade Toaster Pastries from this morning.

Obviously, my daughter enjoyed them.  Note the crumbs on her mouth, LOL.

That’s right, a Black Widow!!!

She was just sitting there, beneath the door frame.

 I am joining a new meme where you post a picture of a critter every week.  We are supposed to post on Sundays, but since I just found it, I am posting today.  Look for a new post this Sunday.

It got up to 102 degrees here yesterday with continued high temps for the next week.  I thought this would remind me of all the cooler times of year.

Last weekend we headed out for a hike at Landsford Canal.  Stretched along the Catawba River, this state park is home to the remains of the canal system that was used from 1820 to 1835. Locks, a mill site and the lock-keeper’s home are among the numerous intact structures from that era.

Out in the river is one of the largest known stands of rocky shoals spider lilies, tough plants that hang tight in the swift water and bloom spectacularly in a huge blanket of white in late May and early June. There is a trail along the river that leads to a viewing deck.

So we traipsed through the woods to see the spider lilies.  I knew it would be beautiful, but it took my breath away.  It was as if God took a brush and painted the lilies across the river.  It literally brought tears to my eyes. 

I took a lot of pictures, but they can’t capture the splendor of seeing it in person.  I even rolled up my pants and waded into the river so I could get some closeups.  There was no way I would miss the chance to capture those lilies when they only bloomed once a year.
