Sister Grove Park!

We can make a wet and dreary day fun at the park! Just don't base it on Handsome's face in this picture.

Glass of Milk

Never walk away from a glass of milk... even an empty one!

Gorgeous Hike

"Gotcha!!!"

Gotcha again!!!

 

Untouched Snow

"I gaze blissfully at a patch of
untouched snow glistening in
the perfect winter sun.
A million sparkles firing their
light rays at me, intent on
being seen...."

Seen and gone as Gorgie makes her way through the weaves! Gosh how she loves to play!

Gorgeous Christmas Day Snow!

Catching snow flakes!

Love

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”
― Marianne Williamson

Which goes well with this quote...

“The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.”
― Johnny Depp

What great teachers our dogs can be.  Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

Handsome

BUSTED!!!

BUSTED!!! Someone found where I hid their Christmas gifts!

Handome and his stick!

One of the many reasons why I like taking the dogs hiking. My dogs are relaxed being just dogs... no training required! Here Handsome is playing with his stick that he carries through out the hike.

 

My Mesmerizing Cat named Willabee

To get this effect, I used Photoshop Elements 11 using the High Key filter and my beautiful cat.

Handsome Tree Hugger!

I have a Tree Hugger in the family! And he leaves his bite marks again and again to show others he owns this tree and five others at Sister Grove Park.

A Gorgeous Down

A Gorgeous version of a Border Collie so-called "down."

They call me "Happy Hands!"

Today My Sunset was on fire!

My little godling

“Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.”

This is Lord Bumble... my little godling.

 

Last Day on Earth?

If this was truly our last day on earth, this is what I would be doing with my dogs. Oh the joy of hiking as you can see it on my their faces.

We stayed longer to enjoy the sunset.

Evening hike with the pups!

Sunshine

“My sunshine doesn’t come from the skies, It comes from the love in my dog’s eyes.”

A Divine Messenger

“Animals are divine messengers of miracles that go far beyond emotional comfort and practical assistance. Talk to those who have been transported to a heavenly place by the gentle purring of a kitten or whose broken hearts, burdened by worry and pain, have been mended by a dog licking their hand. They will tell you that animals connect them with the River of Life in ways poets imagine and mystics contemplate. They will tell you that their deepest and most sincere relationships with animals are spiritual partnerships.”
― Allen Anderson, Angel Animals: Divine Messengers of Miracles

Whenever I'm down and out, Gorgie is always by my side comforting me.  My angel... well most of the time. ;-) 

Peaceful Sleep

 

Watching Bumble peacefully sleeping, it's hard for me to disturb him so I can go back.  I guess he got tired of waiting for me.

Paradise

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”
― Milan Kundera

Sunrise

Every day is a start of something beautiful.

Sharing

My cats, Bumble and WillaBee, sharing their bed together. 

I like this photo with just Willabee in it.

Sunset

“Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under!”

Late evening at Sister Grove Park!

Because it was late and getting dark, we just stayed on the outside of the trails.  Dog's still loved running around being dogs.  Well worth the trip even though we were only out for a little over 30 minutes. 

Hiking at Sister Grove Park!

My Gorgeous Angel

My regal Handsome boy!

Another hike at Sister Grove Park!

Snow!

  

About 5:15 AM, we had snow flurries, which only lasted about 15 minutes.  I know it's not much, but it's a start for the season!

The picture is the dog's discs on top of my patio table.

My World Reflected

I used Photoshop Elements 11 for achieving this effect.

Calendar Worthey Handsome Photo

I took this photo at Sister Grove Park this past Friday.  It really turned out great for a dog that hates looking into a camera.  I don't think I even had to beg for this shot.

My folk's Christmas Tree

My mom made a lot of the ornaments that are on the tree.  The cats you see she made along with the angel.

Sister Grove Park Photos

I edited some photos from yesterday's hike.  I took my DSLR camera, so I would have better quality photos.  Here are some of them.
