We have some new friends in the backyard lately. Last evening, they hung around for about an hour, making themselves to home.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
My sweet daughters gave my a "squirrel-proof" bird feeder for Fathers Day and it works great. I love it. The squirrels still come around but have to eat the left-overs, that fall to the ground. The first picture, as you could guess, is of one of the squirrels that roam about.
The next pictures of of Ben, before he left for a baseball tournament in Panama City, FL. His brother, Jack, is in Myrtle Beach, SC at a baseball tournament as well. I did duplicate the color photo and removed the color to produce the black and white. I then added a white vignette.
"Have you ever heard the expression, "There isn't a camera that he doesn't like." That is Ben. I got up very close to take the picture of his eye and he did not flinch.

Our grandson, Ben, is a ham. He came into the living room as this and I grabbed the camera. This photo would be a great one to add a caption. If you have one, put it into the 'comments.'

It is our 46th anniversary today. We celebrated be taking a day trip to Dahlonega, GA and then out to dinner in the evening. I have to admit... this month's photo project is The Three Sisters Winery and Dahlonega. My interest in the winery was the landscape and it did not disappoint.
After lunch in Dahlonega, we walked around...Linda shopped and I took pictures.
They were having a music jam and as I you can see, I was standing next to a banjo player. Dahlonega always honors those that served in various wars and conflicts each year for the fourth of July.

The candle was taken at our table in a restaurant in Bergen and the others are different views as we traveled. The middle picture was taken from the front of a ferry. The picture on the bottom was taken from the front seat of the car, as we were moving at about 50-60 kph. Many of the pictures of the different views were taken as this.

The next few posts will be filling in with some of the pictures that have not been posted. Today, are from the Park in the center of Stavanger.
There were not many flowers in bloom due to the colder weather that they are experiencing this year. We were told that the apple blossoms are blooming later this year. I will note that as we were in Oslo, I did notice that more flowers were in bloom and I think that the climate is a little better on that side of Norway.
Rhododendrons were plentiful as were pansies. It was interesting and I think that I am correct in saying that the blue pansy was the only color that I saw, although I did not see all of them.
There were many birds at the park. I do not have the swan that was there. I did get the 'Bird Lady...' Was Mary Poppins from Norway?

Today, we traveled from Bergen to Stavanger and noticed a change in the terrain, which was very rocky. Many rock outcroppings and in the fields, that had many sheep grazing, there were many boulders.
The other photos were taken while we waited for one of the two ferries needed to complete the trip. The view, while we waited to board, a jelly fish, a seagull, and the ferry.
