This dog was after his friends..All stray dogs...with no owners at all !They all knew very well how to cross the street ...What I found funny here was that he crossed the street at the right time & place with the green light on !So,please my friends don't worry about it..Then altogether we went to the seafront.I have another story about them there,which I'm thinking of uploading sometime later ! Just a clue about the story : another dog seemed to be a bigger danger for it !! :-))

Hope everyone is having a great day, My Friends! Thank you for stopping by.*-*
I walked down the hall today
Mulberry trees next to me
Oleander trees next to me
When autumn comes
Both of them
They turn yellow and wither
Like yellow leaves
We were both stuck
Under the trees
In autumn
Koridorda yürüdüm bugün
Bir yanımda dut ağaçları
Bir yanımda iğde ağaçları
Sonbahar gelince
Her ikisi de
Sararıp soldular
Sarı yapraklar gibi
Kalakaldık ikimizde
Ağaçlar altında
Sonbahar da
