Today was a good day. It was hot and sticky and the sun tried and tried to burn off the haze. My co-worker and I had planned to do lunch today. We get together for our birthday's and treat the other to a meal. Of course, good company too :) Well, we weren't able to do mine until today. So many things going on and then she went out on disability for shoulder surgery. We waited for a nice day as we planned to go to the Marina. It's not far from work (wish it was closer) and there is a little snack shack to pick up a burger, sausage, hot dog, whatever. We drove down and get right in line to grab something quick. It was mobbed!! The grass path along the lake and canal was scattered with chairs and blankets. The temps were in the mid 80's and of course anyone who could was outside. We grabbed lunch and sat on the patio on the lakes edge. The breeze kept us cool. Seagulls flew over head waiting for a scrap of food to land. Some didn't even wait. A gentlemen sitting at a table not to far from us got up and walked away for a second. We heard him say 'get going' and when we turned to look one had gotten awfully close to his hotdog. We laughed with images of a bird flying over head with a foot long dog hanging out its beak. The guy wasn't gone long enough, good thing! A few boats came in and out, and the ducks were taking a leisurely swim. Of course since it was a planned outing my camera was with me. ::grin:: Thought I'd share a few pictures with you.
I also played a bit with a Molly Harrison tube. I love her fairies! I like the effect of the rain as she sits under the flower, and the way the wings look to glisten. I played with adding a name, but couldn't find anything I liked or a good spot to put it. So it's a snag as is :) Hope someone out there likes it.
The time off and then back to work has taken it's toll. I'm beat and ready to climb into bed and geta good nights sleep. Only a bit longer and it's Friday. Whuuuuu huuuuuuuuu Hope everyone has been having a good week.

i think you couldnt find anywhere to put it because you made the tag too narrow. if it was a bit wider im sure it would look wondeful with the text on it. although i love the way it is, but i notice your tags are mostly narrow.
I agree with Cheerry.

I love the pics of your lunchtime break. A seagull landed on my balcony once and stole a cheeses sandwich out of my hand! Those birds have no shame! Those Canada geese should really be called Earth Geese, they're everywhere I've ever been too on earth, not just in Canada! I'm glad the weather was good and you got to have your lunch with your friend at last! Love the snag too, very cute! Have a great weekend!

it soudns like a wonderful break from work
The lunch by the lake at the marina sounded great. I like what you did with the pictures, too. You laugh at the possibility of the seagull making off with the foot long hot dog, but I've seen it happen, LOL. What a sight! This is the last day before the weekend, so hang in there, you can rest up again tomorrow. Hope your Friday at work goes well.

Gorgeous tag. I am glad you got to spend time with a friend and enjoy the beautiful weather! I love summer.
Love,lisa
This display is striking. I enjoy your graphics, but when you use your own pictures they have a special meaning. You have the eye for the camera. I enjoy seeing a piece of your home, or life. What a sight to see the sea gull with a hot dog. HAHAHA Too bad that would have been a great picture. TGIF
