You asked for it and I am delivering.
I forgot the last photos go on first so they are all confused. Sorta like my summer memories now! lol. We had our grandson, Liam, for visits twice, once in late June and once in late July with us leaving for WA state a day after he went home. As you can see from the photos we spent a lot of time at our pond. This is a photo collage of our vacation.

What good summer memories. I especially like the photos of you in along the Columbia – one of my favorite areas! Thanks for the fun photos from your pond, too. : )
Thanks, Jennifer. You were a nice part of that summer vacation. Without you we would have had to stay home and take care of the cats. lol.
Glad to see you had a wonderful time Clar, but good to have you back!
Xx
Thanks, Vikki. So glad to be back. Now to get in a routine again and do some work!
Now I officially say, “Welcome Back Clar”.
It’s so nice to see photos of your family, awesome scenery, and animals which I love.
Thanks, Tracy. So good to be back. Now for the mountain of catch up.
Looks like you had a fun and wonderful summer, Clar!
I love the name Lost Corner – it sounds so lovely and quiet 
You and Heather should talk – she had cows roaming her back yard this summer too 
Great to have you back!
lol. Susanna! She did? Oh my !
We have them quite often and they are part of the landscape now. My late husband named our place and I love it too. It is off the beaten track and is quiet and off to itself.
Thanks for your comment.
So happy you had a relaxing vacay this summer – especially with the children. Keep building those precious memories so that you can look back on them once they are grown up. May you have a productive year as you prepare for next year’s vacation!
Hi Linda! So nice to see you here!
Yes, I’ll save these memories in my special spot in my brain and will revisit many times.
Wonderful pics, Clar especially the camel ride how fun! Nice to have you back
Thanks, Catherine. I got on the camel as well but reserved that photo for the family. lol.
Thanks for sharing these great pics! I loved them all, but especially the footbridge. I am a bit leery of actually going over bridges, but I think they can be so beautiful — like this one. Welcome home!
Thanks, Beth,
That foot bridge spanned a fast running creek over rocks and part woody area. It just went to a trail across the creek that was meant for hotel goers and visitors. It was very well built and only rocked a little when one walked on it.
You’re right, this one was beautiful.
What a great summer you had!
Love the photos!
Thanks, Eric.
Liam liked the books you suggested.
Thanks. 
Love the photos, Clar! Looks like it was a beautiful summer for you and your family! Welcome back….you were missed.
OH! thanks, Vivian
I missed all of you, too. We did have a nice summer.
I love these pictures of your summer. What a wonderful time you have had. Isn’t it fun to spend tiem with the grandson. My favourite photo is Liam on the camel. There is a camel in my first book. I find them to be facinating animals. (Just catching up on blog posts after my holiday)
