Cabela was resting on the guest bed when I snapped this picture of her. She has the prettiest face, don’t you think? Click on the image to enlarge.
Critters
Nightfall After a Beautiful Arizona Day
We had a beautiful weekend featuring warmer weather and gorgeous food days. As we were strolling down the road with the puppies this evening, I turned around to capture this image of our little castle in the fading daylight under a waxing gibbous moon. Click on the image to enlarge.
Breaking In The New Fire Hydrant
A few weeks ago, the Town removed and replaced the fire hydrant 100 feet or so down our road. Yesterday, Beethoven found it and did what every boy dog does. He re-hydrated the hydrant with Verna looking on. Click on the image to enlarge.
Obsessions
Bay Bay wants to get to the Mama (holding the camera) and Cabela wants to chase a lizard she saw on the rocks by the driveway. Both leashes are taught with both dogs straining to get to their obsessed quarry. Click on the image to enlarge.
Family Portrait
Taken on Christmas Day, 2013. Verna, Bay Bay, Bob and Cabela. Yes, it was shirtsleeve weather. Click on the image to enlarge.
Merry Christmas 2013!
Every once in a while, I get to capture an image that ranks right up there with some of Verna’s best photos. This time, it was purely unintentional, in that I went out to photograph some shrubs with a before photo before I started on trimming them. When I got out to the palo verde where Damsel had decorated the green tree with some red Christmas ornaments for the season, a butterfly suddenly came out of nowhere and posed on one of her ornaments.
Chalk this one up to luck – AND the fact that there are still butterflies, songbirds, humming birds and other critters that remain here in spite of the cooler temperatures. We LOVE being in Arizona! Click here to see the full-sized photo.
P.S. Happy Birthday, VERNA!
