As simple as.

A good dog toy can be as simple as an empty juice bottle. Bonus: it crackles and crumples most satisfyingly.

Ball Girl.

Our ball girl Lucy was very briefly distracted by a bird in the neighbours’ yard.

Glorious bloom.

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

Blazes

Starting another day, the sun blazes into view to start another day.

Rides high.

A fingernail moon rides high in the early morning sky.

Serious and intense.

Lucy sat-stayed long enough for me to capture a good image. I think this captures the fact that she can be a very serious and intense dog.

Reflects.

A distant house reflects early morning light as the full moon still shines high in the sky.

Promise fulfilled.

Before today, only four days this month had been mostly sunny. This mornings’ lovely dawn promised that today would be Day 5.

The promise was fulfilled. I was, am, very grateful.

Secret Santa delivers.

A box that a Secret Santa sent to Fitzi and Lucy, sent well before Christmas, was inexplicably delayed until today. Never mind, the box was as welcome today as it would have been before Christmas. Lots of good stuff inside, as the pups discovered.

Apologies for the poor quality. I was shooting with my camera phone in low light.
