Bends in The Road

The unexpected often awaits us around bends in the road.

Yum.

Pizza for dinner. Our own dough, home-made alfredo sauce and basil pesto. Topped with mozzarella and cheddar, fresh spinach, bell pepper, cremini mushrooms, grilled balsamic chicken, black olives, and feta.

It is as good as it sounds.

Deceived

A forest photographed from a great height?

No, moss around the base of a tree.

One can be deceived by first impressions.

Watchful, revisited.

I remembered that during a drive in the awful winter of 2013-2014, Faye was able to stand almost directly beneath this Snowy Owl perched atop a hydro pole and capture this truly remarkable image.

Watched

This Snowy Owl perched on a building adjacent to my work site. It intently watched as three of us slowly edged closer for a better look. We halted, admired, then withdrew. I reflected on our good fortune at being able to so closely approach such a regal bird.

Lovely

Three years ago today, this lovely sunrise was well worth stopping for.

Set.

Settled on the couch, check. Wubba toy at hand (er, paw), check.

Lucy is set for the evening.

Tuckered.

Lucy is tuckered out after a Kong-throwing session outside.

A tired dog is a good dog.

Stumped.

I saw this bird in the St. Clair River and am stumped as to what species it is, even after reviewing my Sibley Guide. What do you think?
