"Oh beautiful for spacious skies..."

I had fun with more *Because-I-Can* pics.... Close-ups of pool ripples... But don't worry, the whole pool was well enjoyed by family on The 4th of July.

And "Pop's" Potato Salad was enjoyed by family too... :-)

And below, are a couple of pics, of "Pop" and his younger brother, putting salad together...
Ooooops, too dark!
There! That's better!!!

Look at SOME of the pile of books I have! And would you believe? I have 4-5 more waiting for me at the library. -grin-
♡
Some are leaf-through-and-enjoy-the-lovely-photos.
♡
Some are read-bit-and-pieces, for information.
♡
Some are a complete JOY. ("Rose Cottage" by Mary Stewart")
♡
Some, are part of a series, which I'm kind of running-out-of-steam reading.
♡
Some are lovely, relaxing childhood memories. ("Three Houses" by Angela Thirkell)
♡
Some are by my new fav author... ("Named Of The Dragon" by Susanna Kearsley)
♡
I love it, when I have a lot of different books, *going* at once. If I get tired of one form of writing, I can put that down, and dip into another type.
♡
Do you like lots of different reading, Dear Reader...?

When all is summer there."

it is amazing what light or the lack there of does to a photo and even though I know it, still amazes me how much difference it makes. love the because you could shots.
It sure had me fooled this morning. I thought it was Monday. Almost left for work too early. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, my friend.

Neat photos! What a difference between the dark and the "just right" photos. I also felt refreshed after looking at the ripples in the pool photo :)
I am a big fan of reading and I also enjoy "books that are just for looks" :D I have my own personal library of over 500 books on all subjects.
Happy Thursday!!!
I had such trouble with light yesterday. The sun was so bright that it "blew out" every photo. I should have been looking for the proper setting, but really had no idea that there was a problem until I got home. So I found your double photos with the different light very interesting. Do you remember what you did for settings?
That salad looks fabulous. I will make a salad for our next picnic. I missed it.
What a lovely variety in books. No, I don't think I read that much variety. Now you've got me intrigued so will have to do some research.
Looks like a wonderful 4th for you guys!
I am need of a good book! I have several - hundreds actually!- all stacked up and waiting to be read. I just can't seem to sink my teeth into a good one lately!
I will keep trying!!
Look like good books!
Oh, and I'm NOW hooked on Dallas....Hahahaaa....Boy! Cliff Barnes has Aged!!
hughugs
the only books I get to read right now are childrens book...but I love them...love your because I can photos....
Lots of reading going? Yep. :)
I have a pile waiting for me to take to the beach - I've been saving them. You and I have the same taste in books!
Stay cool!

I am still in a reading rut. I used to love to read, now I start a book, put it down and never finish it. HELP!! What's the matter with me.
Helloooo, Auntie!
No, I'm sort of a one book at a time person! Can't put it down til it's finished!
And that pool looks simply delightful - we could sure use some cool water down here about now. I thought about getting myself a wading pool just to cool off in the back yard - really! I did!
Hope you guys had a nice 4th!
So I'm not the only one who thought Wednesday felt like Saturday.... : )
How nice to see the men take a hand in food prep.
I love Angela Thirkell - her Barsetshire series is a hoot.
Lucky you -- the guys make the salad!!! Not so around here. I tried to take some pix the other day and had a light problem -- the sun [or light source] needs to be behind the photographer, not the subject. One of the photos I wanted so badly is now just a mess!
Peace,
Muff
I love the sky and pool..and YUM!!! :)
