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...)
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.
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.
So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
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?
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.

A friend from the Hocking Hills was kind enough to e-mail me Saturday that the redbud trees were blooming at their peak this weekend. So I got up at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning, hopped in the car, and made a special trip for this once-a-year sight.
This is the photo version I've come up with. I also have a more painterly version at the link below:
