During the winter and early spring, it was me doing a whole bunch of work outside. But now, I’m scaled back except for the most important stuff. Nature’s little workforce has now taken over 🙂

    I like your little helpers too Mike. I think the heat is back for us too 😵‍💫, sporadic rains.

    That beer is patriotic Mike 😁.

      hehe 😀 yes, I was thinking of putting that up during our Independence Day holiday post but I didn’t want to put too many pics up and bore everyone. it was a nice and cold beer though, the way I like it

      stay safe in the heat Iba, you and your family! it’s nice to look at but only from inside a temperature controlled room 😁

        Touch ‘n go…last night it was raining ashes from the sky and with the air quality is usually so poor we mostly stay inside. But at least we haven’t had to evacuate yet. Supposed to get a small amount of rain Monday 🤞🏽

    Lovely captures Mike. We are having those ‘habagat’ rains here. It is the middle of the rainy season. 😍

      thanks Arlene! does the weather cool significantly during this time of the year for you?

    It does but I hate flash floods. I don’t like it when it rains hard.😍

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      i see! i hope there are no flash floods around you for the remainder of the rainy season. stay safe 🙂

    Thank you Mike. We are only on number 3 typhoon and we average 18 to 20 a year. I hope La Nińa won’t kick in.😍

    That picture of the beer is awesome, perfection! I haven’t seen the ones with ‘America’ on the label, I don’t think we get them here. But the framing, the colours, the everything, just so peaceful and summer beer in the garden time. You should send it to Budweiser and see if they’re interested, that’s a classic photo I reckon!

      thanks Rob! it was an enjoyable drink. the sun being out and bright really brings pictures around, especially when it’s warm colors like yellow and red. not even fall colors can really bring out that warm vibe it has to be really bright out. as for relaxing in the garden, i’m sure you understand how rare those moments are. gotta take them when you can hehe!

        I see the beads of water on the beer aren’t too big, so you didn’t spend a huge amount of time to time that picture. So you can enjoy rather than fussing over a picture! It came out great though.

          haha! true – that’s another advantage of ample lighting; you can use megafast shutter speeds which contribute overall to the pic. i think this one had a 1/1600th of a second shutter – blazing fast and guarantees absolute sharpness
