Holiday weekend in America and the Battle of the Somme started today in 1916.

More interesting to you though is that the new month brings the new calendar piccies. Squeeee!

I have terrible camera shake, so 7 pictures taken result in maybe one that is not blurry. *sigh*

We'll have to make do I suppose.    



The Peacock butterfly


The peacock




Peacock and peacock.


Yes, yes indeed.
 


In other news I am still suffering from last night's main course in what proved to be a disappointing meal out at a restaurant that served food without plates. We became trenchermen with separate dishes to carry the various types of chicken, salads and sides on wooden boards. Joani's salad came in a cup. At least the creme brulee was nice, but I managed to spill a strawberry and chocolate sauce on my off white shirt. It is in the bathroom sink soaking.

*ahem* Happy Canada Day. Holiday weekend for us too, and Wills and Kate are visiting Ottawa for the celebrations. I am heading in the other direction entirely.
It was reported on the news that Kate wanted to visit PEI because she loved Anne of Green Gables as a girl. I thought that was rather sweet. I don't imagine she'll have to fight her way through the Japanese tourists wearing red braids, like the rest of have to.
On to the good stuff: How perfect that the two peacocks turned up on the same month. My he does look rather dashing. He does clean up rather well.

See, I nearly put North America and then I thought I was confusing the Thanksgiving similarity and didn't. Sorry: God Bless Canada!

LOL at Japanese red braided tourists. We have a similar phenomenon with Beatrix Potter fanatics from the Far East except they don't wear Peter Rabbit ears.

Cleaned up is good.

Nearly done for another year. Personally, I am watching the Cubs v the White Sox at the moment. Murray started well but Nadal has asserted himself.
