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.

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.

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

Sunset

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


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.

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.
