Anticipation

Oscar has taught me this:

Live life in the anticipation that

Something wonderful

Is just around the corner.

(Even if it’s just a dip in the local lake…)

    Our dogs can be great teachers, if we’re willing to take notice! It always amazes me how frequently I find those wonderful things just around the corner! Have a beautiful weekend — both of you!!

    They say that our pets are the best mentors in life. What they give, they give freely – no hidden motives. Such a beautiful dog and very, very wise. What a lesson!

    By the way, Fiona, I just love the orange light on Oscar’s neck against the blue background of the water.

    We had a dog who loved to fish.

    August 26, 2012 at 19:43

  42. I suppose that a lot of dogs have more joy in their lives than do a lot of people. That’s sure one wonderful photo.

    August 26, 2012 at 21:07

  43. It’s all about reveling in whatever life brings and enjoying the simple things (except your pictures always take it way above the “simple” category into exquisite!)

    August 27, 2012 at 02:00

  44. It’s all about reveling in whatever life brings and enjoying the simple things (except that your pictures always like life out of the “simple’ category and into the exquisite!).

    August 27, 2012 at 02:01

  45. Oh I do just love Oscar smiling photos!

    August 27, 2012 at 02:24

    August 27, 2012 at 03:42
