The best of summer



Friends in Quebec City

Today was stupendously gorgeous. We went to one of our favourite parks
on the west end of the city, and had a magnificent walk beside Lake Ontario,
which was showing off — a delicious blue against a pure blue sky.

We saw the usual ducks, geese, and seagulls. Plus we saw one of our favourite
swan couples from afar. And 100s of dragonflies flew overhead clearing the
air of the late afternoon midges.

I revised this painting a bit today. I thought the feel of it was perfect for that
last day of summer vacation, the women are sitting on a bench on the boardwalk
in Quebec City—one of my favourite places. The city has that French charm
we love so much. 

I hope you had a great summer. We did.

Have a loving your life day.
