The weather has been muggy and overcast with scattered rain, quite a lot of it actually since around the middle of last week. It just has not been very nice at all. Despite the weather people were still out and about determined to eek out some summer recreation wherever and whenever they could.

We took a ride out to PA and ended up rained out pretty much. We decided duck into a brew pub for a quick bite and a beer while we waited out the rain. The rain let up some but it was still drizzly so we called it for the day.

On the way home as we neared Round Valley the weather perked up a bit. Well, at least it stopped pouring, and even stopped drizzling. So we decided to take a ride down to the boat launch and look at the reservoir to see if there was anything interesting. It was pretty quiet but there were a few hearty souls determined to enjoy the day by pursuing their hobbies, fishing and boating.

This was shot at about 8:30 on Saturday evening. The light was fading fast but it was really quite pleasant there.

I was going through some of my old photos from last summer and came across this one that I'd forgotten about. Well better late than never right? So here is one last memory of summer to enjoy.

This was shot at Manny's Pond in Hoffman Park in Hunterdon County NJ. I love this place for the wonderful memories it holds from when I was a child and the property was a farm that belonged to my Aunt. I regularly fell into Manny's Pond when fishing as a little girl.

It was a very busy weekend. Between the kids things, and working around the house, helping out a friend, organizing photos, and trying to get in some fun, it was quite hectic. But it was a very nice one indeed. It felt like summer, hot and hazy. I hope everyone had a good weekend too.

I did get out shooting too but because my computer time this weekend was spend solely on organizing my thousands of photos in Lightroom, I didn't have time to process but one or two of them. This is one of them. This was taken at a friend of ours house. Mark helps them to open their pool in the summer and the water level was really low so he had to fill it which takes hours and hours. They were away so he had to check on the level every few hours to see that it didn't overflow. We stopped there to check on the progress on our way someplace else. While Mark was messing with the pool I waited on the deck and noticed the bottle sitting on the rail and I thought it had a very summery feel to it so I of course shot it.

I only made a slight dent in organizing my photos, so I know what lies ahead for me over the next few days. I hope to make the rounds and visit you all this week.
