Activity is picking up now, and these two Mourning Doves are among the birds that have returned.

Blazing.
A blazing white orb sets the tone for a hot and humid summer day.
A summer sunrise.
On the beach.
Faye and I spent some time on the beach today. Not much time because we did not have sunblock. We expected the water to be chillier than it was.
It was good to get out like this, and good to see so many people out enjoying themselves.
Summer morning.
Sunrise.
Sunrise, on a late summer day by the calendar. Sunrise, on an early autumn day by how it feels.
Cloaked
Sunrise – yes, sunrise – on a summer morning when cirrus clouds, and the sun, were largely cloaked by smoke from wild fires several hundred klicks away in Manitoba and northwest Ontario.
Towering
Yesterday was a good day to cloud-watch. It was hot, humid, and the atmosphere was a little unstable. Cumulus began towering which created some fascinating formations.
Before
Lucy, before a thunderstorm chases us inside.
Unrolls
An empty country road unrolls in front of me on a warm late summer day.
