Yes...I missed a week. No...I don't really care. I haven't hardly been online at all. Just kinda muddling through my days. The added noise in this photo is so very much what my head feels like. Can't tell if I'm coming or going. So overwhelmed by life in general that I just take every moment for what it is right now. Today was beautiful. Definitely needed to get out of the house. Went for a long long walk down at the river. The sand I'm playing in will be covered by water as soon as the snow on the mountains melts. It was so nice to be out there...
This is week 9 of 52.
In the 52 weeks challenge, every one of my 52 photos will be taken by one of my kids. Either Mancub (16) or Little Boy (7). They get full reign of my camera (eeeeek) and do what they wish. All I do is pick the pic, edit and post it.
This is Moxie. She is a four year old rescue - originally part of a criminal case out of Southern Oregon, and saved by the Oregon Humane Society. Her mange left her pretty nude - and she was believed to be a Brussels Griffon mix. Once her hair grew back, and we got her groomed, we suspected otherwise and got a doggie DNA test. She's 100% Shih Tzu and I can't stop laughing that I now have a silly designer dog. She's delightful. She's not the best model yet, but she was SO good - walked beautifully on her leash, no barking, no fear, just a good muppet.
Flowering Dogwood at Davey Dogwood Park.
It is the state tree of Virginia and state flower of North Carolina. It is a common ornamental landscape tree that offers something nice throughout the year. The tree provides showy white flowers in spring, rich green foliage in summer, bright red leaves in fall and red berries relished by birds and animals all winter..
The white petals of the dogwood flower are actually leaf-like growths called bracts rather than true petals. The actual flowers are in the cluster at the center of the dogwood bloom. The showy bracts can attract pollinating insects to the flowers. .

It was one of the few quiet, still days we get in St.John's. Set off longings for spring or some such. Deadman's Pond, St.John's, NL.
And there's a lot of life in London :-D

I have searched for the name of this particular butterfly for quite some time.
I shot this in the Butterfly house in Callaway Gardens. So it is no doubt an exotic. Whatever it's name, I found it truely beautiful. It reminds of a summer day, and the greens that abound that time of year. Everything is brown and barren. I am longing for the greens to return. HBW everyone!!

Quote by Mark Twain
HPPT - Spring!
It's been coming and going and coming and going. Warm, cold, warm, cold. Sunny, rainy, cloudy, sunny. It's even supposed to snow today. I hate the Spring transition! But I looooove Spring!! It's my favorite! <3
I run like an idiot.
Fave if you like it!
... It’s spring fever… That is what the name of it is… And when you’ve got it… you want… ohhhhhh… you don’t quite know what it is you do want… but it just fairly makes your heart ache… you want it so…. ~ Mark Twain ~ .... (Try this one enlarged...)
Woke up to about 5 centimeters (two inches) of snow, argh! Our poor flowers are so confused, they don't know what to do. I feel sorry for the rufous hummingbirds that have migrated from Mexico and started arriving this past week. I'm pretty sure a snowfall in April is a record for us here on the west coast of British Columbia. I guess this is Mother Nature's April Fool's joke...not funny!
I think these are plum tree blossoms...does anybody know?

Week 10 of 52 weeks for dogs This photo is the first of my 'four seasons' shots, (an idea inspired by sarah... with Gyp last year) hopefully to be followed during the year by summer, autumn & winter - all at the same spot in the forest. This is one of our favourite places but as during wet weather it quickly floods and becomes impassable, we don't walk there as often as we'd like to. The walk we do is just over two miles and you can see the path we have come up in the distance behind Taivas' right ear! We are now at the highest point and about half way.
Originally I had planned that this week's photo would be of Taivas at Crufts, but as she chose the most inconvenient time to have her season and is wanting a fella she will be staying at home - I think she would drive the male lapphunds to distraction if I took her, poor boys! For that very reason this had to be a quick photo session..........she was looking here there and everywhere and I didn't want her disappearing! She was back on her flexi lead asap.

I did a tiny bit of cloning to remove my shadow at the bottom left, otherwise it's sooc.
