Edward the Elephant hasn't featured in many photos, but he is a pretty good friend to Jasper. Edward's belly has a great big (but high pitched) squeaker. And his ears have crinkly stuff which makes a fun noise. He's a good pal. Here Jasper brought Edward over the Jean's (my wife) side of the couch to see if he could entice her to play.

Aussie Shores is made up of two islands, and there are many scenic spots to hang out with friends or to enjoy a special date. There’s a massage table on the water, a small club with dance balls, and Austailian wildlife all over.

Yep... one of my fave t's. For all my Aussie friends to see.

Not that you'd ever notice it with the beard if I hadn't pointed it out. The other side of this stripe deal has a surfer. No other destination shirts in my drawer! From the Gap '03. It's starting to flake a bit...thousands of washings will do that!

Scamander, Tasmania, Australia

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.

Inspired by Lincoln

Jasper and I were playing with Monkey when my wife got up to do something. His head tilt made his question clear.

Isolation in this vast land at Christmas time . No snow covered cottages here just heat and more heat , bushfires , hopefully not this year .

Now a close up of the callistemon :-)

I occasionally work an afternoon at home or fire up a spreadsheet on the weekend. This is the typical help I get in my home office. Jasper thinks its all horribly boring and will sometimes put his head in my lap or bring me a toy to tempt me away. Then resume his spot in front of or on the couch if his boring human can't break away

Dash and Jayme accompanied Jasper and me to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on Sunday. Dash and Jasper saw fit to critique this sculpture. From his expression, I'd say Dash is a bit aghast. Seems nice to me, but I'm no art critic.

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? ;-)

Aussie was desperate for lunch I think. This is the first time he's ever jumped up on a kitchen chair. He is eleven months old in this image.

... in Hunter Wetlands, NSW

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. 😉

Clever boy that he is, Jasper knows that sly woman could snag Whale in an instant so he keeps a keen eye on her.

Patrolling the neighborhood, keeping us safe. Good boy Jasper

Another one of Adelman's beautiful peonies that they have on display each year.

They are world renowned for their varieties and colors!

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.

It feels positively prehistoric in this place in the pre-dawn hours.

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.

Jasper's been working on getting one of his Pandas to resemble a Picasso painting. I think he's pretty much nailed it ;-)

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.

Jasper perks up when he hears the neighbors playing in their back yard. COVID 19 (or at least the stay-at-home policy) seems to have had a positive effect on the neighbor family behind us. They've dreamed up some sort of trampoline volleyball game that they play several times per day.. It's the whole family including the mom, the dad and the kids. It involves a lot of hooting, hollering, bouncing, laughing, scoring and many volleyballs. They seem to be very close-knit. Jasper thinks we should be playing like that. But what he's forgetting is that we DO play several times per day.

Sultan Jasper rests upon his thrown known as the Ottoman Empire. We grovel.
