A filler. Too damn HOT to take pics today. The heat and humidity are so oppressive! You can't do much of anything in this kind of weather. I could compare it to BIG government and a world full of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, but I shouldn't have to.
It is Sunday which brought to mind this Everything But The Girl song. Another great jazz vocal group WLOQ turned me onto back in the day. All I need is a "slowly running lazy river" near by. I think most of you will like it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc07_nPTtv4
Hot here too. At least it's not humid, or so I'm told...not going out to find out LOL. Was out at 8 this a.m. And it was already too hot. Oh and BTW, this is a lovely shot
It's hot and icky here too. We took the motorcycle out this morning and it was like riding through a blast furnace. I wanted to go spend some time outdoors, but it's just too gross.
Very nice composition and lighting. We are warm, 24C, but cloudy and threatening more rain. I hope not, that would destroy the Canada Day Celebrations tonight.
What a beautiful photo, Maggie. I just realized you used a filler. It is nice to have fillers as I have used them and have some to use if necessary. Love the colors and bokeh in this photo. Wish you lived close by, it is nice, in the 80's here with a nice breeze. I hope you find a way to cool off as I know how bad it is when it is 100 plus here and dread those days of the Summer. Off to clean and call in some balloons and maybe a stuffed animal for my friend who fell on Friday and is in the hospital, had surgery to put the bones in her foot back together and want to call her. She lives 100 miles away. Wish I could be there for her. Stay cool. Hugs!
This is very lovely Maggie. For me, even though it is hot outside it just doesn't last very long and then we get that winter stuff which I hate.
Oh Mag I can completely agree with your thoughts on big gov, corrupt politicians etc. For me personally the news that came from the S. Court was extremely upsetting. My business is barely hanging on and I wanted to grow it and have employees someday. I don't think I will ever be able to afford it.
@yonnie You are so right! Humidity is like walking into a wall of warm water! Ugh! Thank you for your comments and visit, Yvonne!
@myhrhelper Thank you, Kathy! I really appreciate your kind comments. I'm afraid that's all that will be left soon enough - BIG government and corporations and I hate it with a passion! Too many panty waste judges on the bench now! Our constitution has been pissed on too much in that past four years! I hope things change and you can grow your business. I hope I can get a job doing something before the end of August. My mother is well over 80 and she is aware that if she needs life saving surgery - she won't get it. The DEATH PANELS are all in place for the elderly. Ain't that nice?
@marlboromaam You are welcome as always, Maggie. I called the gift shop at the hospital and got her a monkey and a balloon with a monkey and banana on it that says get well from my husband and me. She is 100 miles away so the best we could do. She has to have another surgery on her foot. Big bummer as it is her right foot.
Like your Filler Mags..... I think we've got to set up Mandatory instruction on the Constitution for most in the House, Senate, Supreme Court and the White House. Of course We the People also need to be knowledgeable, be aware and Vote. It's far to easy to say a Law is OK because it doesn't hurt ME. Beware, YOU are next............
@jsw0109 That's okay, Jeff! I really appreciate the thought though.
@darsphotos I'm sure she will really appreciate and love whatever you send her, Darlene!
@lyno Thank you, Lyn! We had two severe thunderstorms pass through my neck of the South Carolina midlands tonight. Now it's gonna be MORE humid. Hope we all get some relief soon!
@ronphotos365 First, I want those sorry SOB's to have to use the same healthcare they're shoving down my mother's throat!!! I'm sick and tired of the "Elitist Washington Mentality!" Did you hear "Hillary's slip up" in that interview about our elections, Ron? I can't quote her verbatim but it was something to the effect of the people "think" they still have elections.
@wannabe Thank you, Catherine! You're the only one that mentioned the tune! You made my night!
@aleksandra Appreciate your lovely comments, Aleksandra! Wishing you sunshine and rainbows! Thank you!
The sunlight is amazing! Love how you've captured it, balancing the warmth of it with the cool green tones! At least summer for you will come to an end eventually. Hot and humid weather is what I have to deal with every single day, every week and every month of the year, every year. I feel... well baked. 8P
@myautofocuslife I don't know how you take it, Livia! I cannot hack the heat ever since menopause struck me a few years ago. I'd rather be cold than hot. LOL! Thank you for your wonderful comments! I always enjoy your visit!
Im with Livia Baked!! Well this shot is so great the color from the sunlight really makes the shot so illuminating! ....if my comment doesnt make sense its because i am fighting heat stroke and a million masiquito bites all for the love of my project!! Hope it cools off in your neck of the woods soon! :)
Fab light and I love the tones of green,..It's been raining here in the UK on and off for about a month now :(..wish we had some sunshine, but I'm with you (don't like it too hot), so can't complain.
@ellimae If it's a dry heat, I can take it much better than a humid one. I can't hack walking around in a wall of warm water in triple digits. I'd rather bake than boil! LOL! Actually, I'd rather be cold than hot. Oh well, I'm stuck where I live for now. Thank you for your kind comments, Ellen! I always appreciate your visit!
Great job on the light in this photograph! Seems like this tree provides some good shade although in heat like that not even the shade can save you lol
How lovely....the lighting is great! Spot on comparing the weather to "hot air" politicians ;-) Using the mute button more & more on the telly these days....LOL.
