I've made 2 'cards' this year is a redux from last year lol

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2014

Thank you so much for taking the time to be my contact/friend - I have been overwhelmed this past year with your support.

Cheers from me :-)xxx

This is a native Grass tree in the Tamala Park Conservation area. These are an iconic shrub for australia. They grow incredibly slowly. I believe it is something like 1 cm /year (trunk growth). This tree was probably at least 200 years old. I have three of these in my garden. Wonderful trees.

Now a close up of the callistemon :-)

We have some feral cats in the neighborhood and Jasper feels the need to chase them into "kitty jail" (aka: storm drains) when he sees them. This is unfortunate as we're always attached to the other end of the leash. Do you think it's weird that my right arm is longer than my left? ;-)

I though Jasper was kind of cute as he paused to enjoy the breeze on our walk the other day. He seemed to enjoy this breeze, but he seems to hate wind to his back. If I'm walking him on a windy day with the wind hitting our backsides, Jasper will keep looking back at me like, "Hey quite blowing wind up my skirt!" I swear its not me, Jasper!

Jasper and I remain working at home during the pandemic. Most of the days spent with headphones on. On the bright side, the headphones act kind of like a hair band to keep my lengthening hair under control. The number of COVID cases is up sharply in Arizona, breaking new records this weekend. Most municipalities in the Phoenix area have mandated faces masks in public starting last weekend. So I'm not mingling with the masses. Sure I could shave, but I enjoy the furry-faced solidarity I feel working side-by-side with Jasper and his unshaven face. 😉

The desert can sprout some strange looking stuff. When I saw these agave (I think) plants I figured I needed a shot of Jasper among them if nothing else than to provide a bit of scale

We tried a new park Sunday called Desert Breeze. Bit of a bust, I must say. It didn't live up to its marketing. Jasper seemed to enjoy anyway. Sorry, bit of a side-lit shot.

Patrolling the neighborhood, keeping us safe. Good boy Jasper

Flickr pals Jayme and Dash came over for a second Thanksgiving dinner on Friday. After dinner we took a walk at a local park. Dash and Jasper agreed to pose. I'm not real impressed with my stacked composition and harsh light of this shot, but the boys looked good.

The good old cocky sitting in a tree, making a heck of a mess! Cheeky buggers, they sit in the tree bold as brass until you come out and point a camera at them. This guy was a bit slow, and took off only after I'd managed to get this shot.

Well, maybe "by the Light Lagoon" would be more appropriate. Jasper hates getting wet so he would never go in the lagoon.. But there are some nice sniffs by the ponds at the riparian preserve.

This goofball, Tug, actually looks a little noble here. A windy day at the beach provided a nice background for some photos of Tug and Della.

A blind shot from this weekend as Jasper strolled through the greenspace, lovingly looking up at my wife, Jean. But I bet there'll be no afternoon walk today. It's supposed to get up to 98F (~36.6C) this afternoon. That is unseasonably warm, BTW, even for Arizona.

At the Boxing day cricket match at the MCG, the police were wanderiing about the crowd, looking for people with glass containers that might turn into nasty projectiles.

Eyes on the prize, Jasper wills his female human to toss the sheep already! (Yes, Christmas tree comes down this weekend ;-)
