Pictures and music

 This week, with the top of my chart basically the same and no time yesterday to type this up, you get a post that combines this week's music with yesterday's walk.  As I said, the top moves not; Counting Crows remains #1 with Under The Aurora- #2 still Amira Elfeky with Forever Overdose- #3 remaining Sam Roberts Band and Brother Down...

Lots of blue cracks in the cloudy skies...

Robin watched us approach

We cut across the soccer pitches to the river

A lot of Raspberries doing well

Real Estate and Pink Sky climbs one to #4... Melissa Auf der Maur makes the big leap to #5 with Out Of Our Minds... and Cole Swindell slides down a pair to 6 with Spanish Moss.

Can she find the hidden trail?

Answer: no

I'm somewhat surprised they haven't mowed around the Duck Pond yet

I was going to say, "I have to look this up, I never saw it before"; but then I checked my records and found I'd said the same thing every year since 2014!  BTW, it is a "hairy penstemon"...

Deradoorian and Set Me Free climbs 2 to #7; Evanescence's Afterlife slips 2 to #8.

By the way, this week starts the annual "Songs of Summer" competition; we'll see how long Counting Crows can hold their early lead!

Meanwhile at Scrappy's Landing...

No room for Daddy

For once, we saw the deer before she saw us... and all she did is turn her head as we passed, once she did

That leaves us with debuts at 9 and 10.  At 9, the second M10 for Ace Frehley...

Uh oh- doggies ahead

Nothing up at the Swamp

Daddy tries out the river

Doggie more interested in kids on bikes

And the other at #10 is the other song I brought in from Debbie Doglady's "Women That Rock" playlist-  A bit off the beaten path for me, this is DalBello....

I don't know as the dip in the river was worth all the work...

Doggie went fishing

Swallows over the cricket field

And yet another scene I seem to hit this time every year- the blossoms have begun to fall from the Tulip trees
