Watching the sunset

This evening we were up on Douglas Park hill overlooking Wascana Lake at sunset.  From where we were standing at the top of the hill the sun was setting directly in line with the legislature across the lake.  I took several pictures with my iPhone as the sun was setting.  The pictures below are over a 10 minute period from 7:50 to 8:00 PM.   If you click on the first picture it should enlarge and you can do a slide show of the sunset pictures in sequence.  

Enjoying Summer Days

Last evening Elaine and I were out enjoying the nice summer weather.  It was up to 30C during the day but early evening was 25C with little wind.  We followed our usual route and I drove Elaine to the start of the bike path and then met her at parks along the way.

 I was taking pictures with the camera and Elaine took pictures with her iphone.  Here she was taking a picture from the bridge at the start of the bike path. 

   I drove down and met Elaine where the bike path goes near A.E. Wilson park. 

 This is the view of the creek and islands from the bike path where I met Elaine. 

After meeting a couple other places along the way we stopped for a while at the waterfall park.  This is one of the many beautiful areas adjacent to the bike path.  This is where we had our family pictures taken last year (as well as in 2001.)

   
I drove to the legislature and met Elaine at the Queen Elizabeth II gardens.

   The Queen Elizabeth II gardens were renovated and just recently reopened.  This view is looking at the gardens north of  the statue with the Queen on her horse.

I set the camera on timer to take a picture of Elaine and I at the QE II gardens.  After a little more time in Wascana park it was time to head home after a beautiful evening.
