A week before the third anniversary of our adopting Lucy. We're out on the Old Town wetlands trail, as we are every weekday morning. When we first got her in December 2014, she wanted to spend most of her time cowering under the futon couch and was terrified of all people. Now, she thinks all people are her best friend AND SHE MUST SAY HELLO. She is perpetually happy and loving.
Please consider adopting a dog or cat from your local shelter or a rescue group. Pet Smart partners with all sorts of rescue groups and shows animals available for adoption at least once a week - that's where we got Lucy, who was saved by a rescue group from a shelter in Mexico, along with her sister. What a joy she's been in our lives. And far cheaper than therapy.
A rare, hard- to- get -her- to- pose shot of her, she hates the camera, and she's such a black-faced bitch only intense direct sun will reveal her facial characteristics! I still had to lighten up the foto in Nikon 5 to see her face!
Catch Report - Braughing 26/06/12 - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap
Abit delayed but here is my latest catch from Tuesday night.
The weather keeps warming up and then cooling down and isn't great for numbers at the moment but I am not complaining with the amount of new moths for my garden!
Highlight of the night was my second ever record of Small Elephant Hawk-moth.

CK and pomeranian, Inside the music tent, no additional fees to get in. Taking the pomeranian, is like bringing a rockstar, you can't walk 20 feet without somebody wanting to chat or pet her. She was more interested in food than getting pets from strangers.
Portland, Oregon: This is a fun event. Great location. Food is pretty ok. Hot German Pototato salad, red cabbage.
You don't get nickel and dimed for everything, and you can walk around with your beer. Lots of trees for shade, nice breeze from the river, not a huge amount of idiots.
Supposedly the dog's a brindle pomeranian, 10 lbs.
She looks like a Japanese Raccoon dog, a tanuki, plus she stands and can walk a bit on her hind legs.

She was a rescued dog, my friend's daughter who got into a bad situation. The lady who was keeping her for her, was letting the little dog roam the streets and the dog got hit by a car & dragged. The owner begged me to take her. I was pretty worried, we have two 70-lb dogs, they went into prey-mode and were wild to get it. Now, she is the queen bee and traffic coordinator, herds the big dogs, and attempts to enforce many potty breaks.
I have been playing with my really old Sigma 90mm macro that I rediscovered now that I have a Canon. I also discovered a problem. The lens and the camera don't communicate. The camera gives me a communication error at any f-stop other than 2.8. So you will notice in this shot there is a very narrow depth of field. This was manually focused and he wouldn't keep his stare in any one place for long. The dog is Rico, who some of you may recognize. We rescued him about 18 months ago and all is well. I have fallen in love with boxers because of him.
When there's 70 pounds of pure skull and muscle bounding toward you at full speed, there's not much you can do but brace your knees (something a Bullmastiff owner at the dog park taught us when Arch was still little. lol)
I also like this picture because you can see how huge our yard is for being in the city. It's incredible. I can't wait to spend more time out there when it's warm! Speaking of oddities in the city, that truck in the background is so mysterious. We came outside the other day, and from our porch, could see that it was entirely filled with bags that said "goat feed". Ummmm? We are a 5 minute drive from the heart of the city. Our neighborhood is actually within city jurisdiction. Where in the world are these people keeping goats?! I'm sure Arch would be thrilled to know the answer to that as well. haha.
pristine creek through the rainforest. I swim in a deep pool under the bridge. I rarely see people at this beautiful site.
Meet Diesel...his first day home...6 weeks old. The coffee table was the "best place to crash" after that stressful car ride (his opinion)...
This image taken nearly twelve months ago now. Walked in this particularly beautiful temperate rainforest a sobering experience of our role in the scheme of things.
This little creek burbles and twists through the most beautiful green, with the ancient old trees still remaining, remnants of the ice age.
