Nigel emerging happily from the tall grass with a ball he lost several days ago

 

Bat!

 

Squirrel on his haunches with a nut in his mouth

 

Squirrel peering at me from the crook in our tree

 

After the concert; talking to a sympathetic stranger on the street

Me, wincing with every step: "I found these shoes in the trash."

Stranger: "Uh-huh"

Me: "Now I know why they were in there"

Stranger: "They're cute!"

Me, still in pain: "They are going right back in there when I get home."

 

Two standard poodles, stalking a deer

 

Dismay

 

The buzzard in the road who jumped straight up startled when I honked at her

 

My friend came over

 

My friend's cat over her shoulder and her dog at her feet

 

Two women I saw yesterday

 

Fist-bumping a nice guy in a long white robe

 

Beautiful baby at Findlay Market

 

Nigel chased three deer. This one jumped so high!

 

Protecting the Pizzas

 

A fellow driver in Delhi

"Naw, I don't like that place.  You can have it," he said regarding Clifton.

 

The nice guy at Popeye's who winked at me and gave me a drink -also- Walking the doggos in a light rain

Pretty sure this man was grateful I worked with him and didn't get mad on a pretty messed-up order

 

An inebriated young man lying on the sidewalk late at night -plus- A little bird flying through heavy sheets of rain

 

Texting late at night

 

Making the guys at the pickle factory laugh

 

Finding one of Nigel's toys in the bed

 

"Alice is more demure"

"Alice is more demure," my friend said, while Leonard and Nigel were wrestling

 

Back from my midday drive, literally dripping in sweat

 

Alice cooling off

 

A Nun buying someone a sandwich

 

Ori

 Ori A sweet young woman who seemed delighted when I said "I love your name!"

 

The server brought John two full plates of food

It was her first night

 

Nigel returns, triumphant (He found the ball)

My friend, who's eight years old, calls him "Superdog"

 

Nigel inspecting some fungi

 

Alice trotting up to me, all smiles
