Two dog day ☀️
On this surprisingly sunny afternoon, when rain had been predicted, I joined the crowd in Chagrin River Park intent on trying out the new lens Bob gave me for my birthday. It was a beautiful day for a trail walk, and I learned some things about my lens. One of its best features is capturing impromptu portraits of …
Saturday is spelled e-r-r-a-n-d-s!
The thought of Saturday errands probably has a familiar ring to anyone who works from 9-5 or even longer on Monday through Friday. That's not the case for me because I retired from the work-a-day world many years ago; however, habits die hard, and it seems like Bob and I often find ourselves out and about running errands …
Regrettably, I’m not a gardener, …
...but thankfully my son-in-law is, and... ...fortunately there's no law that says I can't enjoy his flowers. That is what I was doing today while Bob helped Alison adjust the new gate she designed and constructed to keep the Mabel and Cooper from dashing down the driveway, barking at people that walk past the house. When …
Another Fabulous Friday Face
Last week I ran into Kym and Piper along the trail in Chagrin River Park. We chatted a little bit, that is Kym and I chatted while Piper kept an eye out for other dogs and observed the activity around us. After a few minutes, Kym and I realized that we had met before. I …
Take a tip from Tank!
"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." -Phyllis Diller I only have time for a short post today, and I want to share Tank's picture because he makes me smile. Yesterday, when I ran into Tank and his person, Maria, in the park, he tried his best to set the world straight. Being a sweet, …
A three dog day!
This week I had an opportunity to capture pictures of our springer spaniel, Gulliver, and his two cousins, Cooper and Mabel, so I am departing from my usual photowalking routine to post their pictures. Having caught a nasty, lingering cold, my excuse for not taking a photowalk, I figured today would be a good opportunity …
Daffy-nitions: Lugubrious
Have you ever heard anyone say, "That face should be in the dictionary next to the word _________?" Well occasionally, on my walks in the park, I encounter animals that cry out for their very own dictionary daffy-nition. Today I'm nominating Gilligan. During mud season, Gigs wears a snood to keep those fantastic ears from dragging in the …
Cobra and Jack
I ran into Cobra and Jack when I was in the park earlier looking for a stranger who would be willing to participate in my Friday Faces project. Jack was standing near the pedestrian bridge in Chagrin River Park in conversation with Rich. Cobra was hanging around at their feet, probably waiting for the chitchat …
Meet Cooper
After the sudden loss last month of their beloved sheepdog Millie, my daughter's family found that it just didn't seem right not to have a dog around the house. After much research and discussion, they found one that seemed right for their family. Two weeks ago Cooper, a Portuguese water dog, moved in and is …
