Since it was overcast yet again, I decided to finally get a little designing done.  Did some updates on my website and created an abstract design in Photoshop - you can check it out on my Liquid Fog Facebook page.  Did a little housework, and ate some delicious home-made chicken noodle soup for dinner.  We still hadn't gotten a picture for the day, so Lurline, Mom and I went for a drive downtown Chilliwack to see what we could find.  We headed out to Island 22 on Fairfield Island, but it was mosquito infested, so we quickly left.  We stopped in at Salish Park by the library and it was covered in lily pads and water lilies in bloom:

I left Vancouver in the morning after a late night of mourning the Canucks' annihilation.  Drove through some torrential downpours on the highway on the way home.  I managed to have a nap this afternoon, then helped mom make some signs to label the flowers in the garden - a little stamping and embossing action.  When it got dark, we went outside to take a shot of the pond at night.  Would've been better with a pond light in the water and if I had found my tripod, but here it is anyway:

I worked with my dad for two days on this pond/waterfall in the back yard, as they are preparing for the garden tour at the end of June.  Here's the result.  Not bad for an amateur, right?  (I'm referring to myself, not my dad, of course).

Awoke to rain and clouds yet again.  Not the perfect day to go on a photo journey, so once again I headed over to the park to see what I could find.  Not much was happening, and since I've got to head back home to watch the noon playoff game and I'm hoping to go to a movie this afternoon, I had to settle for a simple duck picture.  Tried to at least make it an action shot:

Sometimes I manage to get more than one good photo, then it becomes difficult to choose.  I was going to use the picture of the watermelon and roll kuchen that we ate today - the first real sign of summer!  I also got a few beautiful pictures of turtles at the park today, but this baby duckling was just too cute to pass up.  When I saw this yellow duckling with his two brown brothers, it looked like he was asking them, "Why am I yellow?" Maybe I can catch those turtles the next time.  Lots of days of summer left!

Wasn't sure what photo opportunity would present itself today, so waited until evening, then wandered over to Sardis Park to see the ducklings and goslings.  Got some good shots of the goslings, but this duck was so colourful that I couldn't help but share it!  I'll have to go back for those ducklings another day.
