Okamino and Beyond

A beautiful bike ride today, sunny and moving to hot during the afternoon. Enough to go to the beach and a dip.

What a treat at Maureen and Jim's in the evening in honour of Vreni's birthday. This lady was making fresh ice cream with liquid nitrogen doing the instant freeze. We had a couple of flavours to choose from. Nice to watch.

Knox Mountain the long way with native grasses reaching sky high. Must have been the rain that did it.

I many have posted a similar picture of this spot from the top of Knox looking down to the lake. Is it the cluster of trees or the steep side that attracts?  

Along the way back from Paul's Tomb the Mock Oranges fill the air with their fantastic scent.

Rain threatens all around us again, but I bet it won't deliver much. I think these are Black Eyed Susans.
