Evening Light
I enjoyed the soft yellow light coming off of this tree on a recent sunny evening.
The Noble Hound
Indian blanket
Indian blanket or Gaillardia pulchella, is a wildflower which grows throughout much of the eastern US. It grows all along the dry creek which runs through my old neighborhood in TX and I was pleased to learn that seed was available here. It has done well in our yard so far. It adds a cheerful splash of colour to the landscape.
Fuzzbutt
This is one of my favourite photos of Stella. She is in some ways a typical ACD – wary, never truly and completely relaxing, a bit schitzy. She also curious and you could say has an intense nose and hearing. When I come home after visiting different places she buries her nose in my pant leg (or my leg leg, grin) investigating.
During our second winter in Canada we walked after a big snow and brisk winds which piled the snow into drifts. Stella must have heard a mouse or other critter under the drift and plunged into the drift after it. She did that quite a few times on this walk, and on many snowy walks since.

Gargoyle
Faye likes gargoyles, so we share our home with several. This fellow ponders life from the vantage point of a shelf on our deck.
Hummingbird
A hummingbird visited our backyard feeder the other evening. As it fed, then paused, then fed again and again I swooped up the camera, removed the lens cap, turned it on, focussed on the feeder, zoomed in tight, tripped the shutter . . . the instant it turned away to fly off. I will keep trying.
