What you see

Note: Moved this one up because... it's a favorite... originally scrapped 2 yrs ago.

While looking through my pictures I find I keep coming back to this one... Why? Because this one shows the simple pleasure being quite, gazing at nothing particular, for an endless period of time.

Rick is lost in thought as he views what may ~ or may not ~ wander under the dock. Or perhaps he sees more than I will know.
Our new pup is unusually still, napping in the warm afternoon sun, or perhaps seeking her own thoughts of nothing.

It was the peacefulness of the photo that draws me back to it. It was a single leaf caught in a tangle of brush. It was the pure contemplation, someone long gone from us, that captured my attention and imagination for this moment. Blend it all together, it speaks volumes to my soul.

FRESH VEGGIES

Rick enlarged the small vegetable garden, poured a concrete footer for the blocks to sit on. In the works... cover the blocks with a rock facade, install a critter proof fence around the inside and a little gate. He always puts so much energy into any bright idea we come up with ~ just one of 10,000 reasons that I love him ~ his attention to detail. Then on to the extended patio with steps down the sloping yard and I will be a happy woman (at least until the next project).

Favorite Gadgets

We all have them... things that you call 'favorites'.
Mine are in this particular order:
My awesome Canon SLR (just waiting on my b-day for the telephoto lens :)
My Leupold binos
And last but most recent (yes, I really did ask for it for Christmas)..... Eagle fish~finder.
Just stuff, very true, but at the top of my favorite gadgets that gets me up and moving about my small corner of the world.

Loves Life

Spring is my next favorite season.

It might just be the real deal

I think both of these young peeps are simply great.... so I'd be hard pressed to say who is the luckiest. I hope many good things come their way.
