Dandelion nose
Take a lovely, golden evening,
A dog and some water.
Walk home through a field
Full of dandelions.
Admire the doggie nose
Covered in dandelion fluff.

Hollywood calling
Ruby turned 8 last week. As many of you long-time followers know, she is very good at posing for photos.
Perhaps Hollywood is calling her name…
Here she is as the Snow Queen:
She makes a good character
in Dame of Thrones, don’t you think?
And, of course, her ears flapping in a storm
Make her a great favourite to play Yoda.
“So, Ruby – what do you think of your mum always taking photos of you?”
No, surely that’s not you sticking your tongue out at me!

Spring honey
It was a blustery, spring evening —
But the light was delicious.
Ruby jumped up on her favourite high rock
As the honey’d rays of the sun glowed.
She was happy to look over her kingdom
Bathed in golden light.
(Simmie was busy running around in circles of joy.)

Purple ribbons
The sun rises —
Presenting the new day as a gift
Tied up with purple ribbons.
(Dog not included… ;-))

Ruby on a rock
The dawn glowed apricot
And the moon hung gloriously golden in the sky.
Ruby loves jumping up onto rocks —
The higher the better.

The ghost of Christmas past
All our snow melted and we ended up having a green Christmas.
This is nothing new – I found these shots of my dear, departed Oscar
About to enjoy a Christmas Eve swim under a canopy
Of perfect reflections from a few years ago.
A timely reminder that there is beauty
And joy and light in the world.

It’s brrr-eautiful!
No matter how you look at it —
With
Or without a dog:
Winter is beautiful.

Wet dog picnic
I found some good memories of Oscar and the kids from a couple of years ago in my archives…
We don’t often have sunset picnics on the jetty – here’s why.
Notice the lovely dry jetty as we unpack our food.
Now look at how wet it is.
And this was the reason why —
Dear Oscar could never resist a swim!

Puppy love – again!
Ruby gave birth to five healthy puppies last week!
It’s too soon for us to visit, so I’ve gone back in my archives
To find photos of her last litter of pups – from July last year.
I hope you don’t mind.
After all, who can resist those sweet furry faces
Or big soulful eyes?
And – what’s even better – is that puppies
Grow up to be beautiful dogs – like Ruby.

Autumn, leaving
Autumn is all about change and leaving
In flamboyant style.
This is Ruby, as red as the leaves on the trees.
She has left us temporarily.
Why? Because she is expecting
Puppies any day now.
Can you see her round tummy?
I’ll miss her sorely
But my young goofball Simmie
Teaches me that there is a lot to be happy about.
I go with the flow
And try to remain young at heart.
Picture of me playing in leaves taken by my daughter.
