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.
We found a ball on our walk a few days ago and let Jasper run with it in the green space by our house. And every subsequent day Jasper has rediscovered the ball to his continued delight. I'm glad it makes you so happy, buddy.
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.

9035 is the remaining member of the 90 class built in Australia and painted in the Pacific National livery. The rest of the class were built in Canada and are in the FreightCorp livery.
We got home to Arizona last night and were reunited with Jasper. Ahh, complete again. We opened some presents this morning and I pieced together a quick video of Jasper enjoying his new toys. Please excuse the increasing mess as the video progresses. Humans opened some gifts as well so boxes and paper everywhere
Eyes on the prize, Jasper wills his female human to toss the sheep already! (Yes, Christmas tree comes down this weekend ;-)
While not exactly an untried theme for me, the sun has been setting as we take our "evening" walk these days. Beautiful sun. Beautiful dog. Can't help whipping out the camera.
Jasper doesn't think much of the Superbowl because he knows real dogs play OddBall, not football. A slow-motion video of Jasper catching the ball in the OddBall X Challenge
Jasper waits with Monkey Business for the humans to respond. Sometimes it takes them a while. Like some kind of server glitch or something.

This is Calvados, or Cal for short. He is Jasper's blood nephew who lives in Wisconsin with my wife's sister and family. He's a big sweetie. He's got very interesting heterochromatic (multi-colored) eyes.
This was Jasper's birthday haul. Beatrice Bunny, squeaky Chuckit, a new OddBall and a pair of large hedgehogs. As you can see he was absolutely thrilled to stop playing to pose for a stinking picture 😜
This is an outtake from the "my dog and me" 52 weeks for dogs challenge last weekend. I had set up the tripod with camera on the other end of the lawn and I clicked of a ton of shots using a wireless remote as Jasper charged down the yard towards the camera chasing whatever. I wasn't going to post any more of them, but my wife said I should and I always do what my wife tells me 😜. Jasper is pretty darn good at catching that OddBall, snagging it out of the air despite it's size and odd shape.
Oh no! The sky is falling! Oh wait a second, that's just the OddBall. Not to worry, Jasper leaped up and got it.
This shot was from a little while ago. But even last night when the temperature was still 105ºF (~41ºC), Jasper wanted to go outside and catch some OddBalls. Thank goodness that didn't last long

We stayed at a dog-friendly hotel in Flagstaff over the weekend, Jasper claiming his bed immediately. He does seem to enjoy hotel stays. Funny how people react to Jasper. There was a large busload of teenagers staying at the same hotel. They were all waiting for something outside the hotel when we rounded the corner after our evening walk. We hear a chorus of girls going "AwwwWWW" when they saw Jasper. It was as if they rehearsed or something - in perfect unison and identical pitch. He got lots of pets on the head.
Some fun of course :) But sometimes it seems for me he is taking himself for some kind of king :)

Just posing on a bench at the Riparian Preserve. Missing our boy as we do the family visit thing in WI over Christmas.
I saw a family of magpies having a squabble, probably play-fighting. I wonder what the singing was about.
As a Kangaroo bounds away, veteren loco GM43 stands at the head of a GWA rail train in the loop at Nantawarra while waiting for a cross before pushing back a couple of KMs to start unloading rail on 27-3-2017.
GM43 and GM37 have continued on as regular runners on rail trains for ARTC while the remaining units have now been in storage for almost 2 years now
We were reunited with Jasper last night after our week-long Christmas holiday trip to the frigid north visiting family. Jasper was much more in the mood to play than to stop and take photos. But a quick pause at sunset seemed a reasonable thing to ask.
As Aussie as they come this little guy , the iconic Kookaburra . This one is a new comer to the scene , a young juvenile bird making its way in the world on this the nations birthday of white settlement in this country , a cute little native Australian .
