SUMMER is not over yet...

The boys' outing at Buntzen Lake. WINSTON / CERVELO / SCORCH

Scorch and Cervelo challenging each other for the bumper.

























































Full steam ahead, Cervelo reaches the bumper













Got it !!













Retrieving the bumper so a nice relaxed swim back to shore





























Cervelo making a splash with this retrieval













More than one way to carry a bumper



















Cervelo found his bumper. Winston still looking.















Forget looking for the bumper, lets get Cervelo's


















Winston pursues Cervelo who swims even faster.










Two weim heads heading way outin pursuit of a bumper



















Winston's goal, to get Cervelo's bmper.













Closer.....










Does Cervelo know he is being pursued?













Two weims, two bumpers making waves in the lake.





























































Waterlogged weim with waterlogged bumper




























The lake is a reservoir so no power boats, just canoes or kayaks. There are trails all around the lake with beach at both ends and a beautiful forest of trees. A weims paradise of swimming and hiking









This picture has beautiful water reflections. Click on picture to see the patterns in the water

































CERVELO / WINSTON














Scorch is the receiver of the retrieval which is Cervelo bringing in the bumper.












And needless to say, Cervelo is not co-operating with passing over the bumper to SCORCH.










































I love this picture with the patterns of light in the lake as Cervelo is swimming. Click on picture to really see the water patterns.



















A picture showing dog waves in contrast with calmness in the lake with puddles of light reflections.

September....the Stellar Jays return for their peanuts

Around this time of year I can expect the arrival of the Stellar Jays, a flock of noisy persistent birds demanding their peanuts. The weims show bucket works well as a container for the peanuts which both Stellar Jays and squirrels compete for the choice peanuts.




































































































A brave squirrel is trying to get to the peanut bucket but has been discovered by Rose and Lily who also are determined to hunt. The gray squirrel is on the pillar, top right hand side. Click on picture to see better.

















WINSTON on the trail


















LILY hears or scents something in the bush...


























Weims' two buddies, brother/sister Bengals who occasionally visit from the basement to upstairs.









MAX our one and only Chesapeake still hanging in despite his numerous health issues.















WEIMS on a squirrel hunt...

















































CERVELO has discovered a new toy....



































































CERVELO 's quiet time.....
