Fortunate.

Cumulus began towering nearby and eventually brought some rain to the folks fortunate enough to be in its path.

Terrain.

This is a close-up of the terrain on Lucy’s back and hip.

On the beach.

Faye and I spent some time on the beach today. Not much time because we did not have sunblock. We expected the water to be chillier than it was.

It was good to get out like this, and good to see so many people out enjoying themselves.

As simple as, redux.

A dog toy can be as simple as a chunk of hard maple.

Glorious bloom.

Our Redbud tree was in glorious bloom. We are blessed to have such a lovely sight in our yard.

Dozy dog.

Lucy, on a recent morning when we had time to enjoy each others’ company.

Welcome.

It was a pleasure to welcome a new day.

It is good to be alive.

Stick.

There are many sticks in the world. This is my stick, therefore this is the best stick in the world.

It is rough . . .

. . . being a dog in our home. Sometimes you have to sleep on the back of the couch.

Although I copyrighted this photo, Faye gets all the credit for taking it.

Ball girl, redux.
