A cardinal flicking his tail around and cheeping at me until I give him food

 

Rainbow

 

Bella and Nigel say Hello

 

Kyson standing on the big rock in Presidents' Grove

 

Windblown woman in silhouette

 

Me, working

 

Playing fetch with Nigel at dusk

The fireflies were rising up out of the grass and glimmering

 

Some women I saw: one with a shaved head, bopping, and two on a park bench chatting

 

A woman with beautiful feet

 

A robin with a big fat worm and a groundhog who is big and fluffy

 

A grackle absconding with the biggest piece of bun

 

Alice tilting her head, listening to Nigel bark

Drawn from life, not from memory, this time

 

Robert and I have a nice conversation

 

It was a three chipmunk day

Here is but one of them

 

A big bulldog having a stroll

 

Watching the swifts wheel around over Mirror Lake

 

Working amongst the Swifties

 

The power went out at White Castle

A man prayed loudly to Jesus for it to come back on.

 

Alice being vacuumed

 

Nigel all serious (listening for intruders) on a cushion on the couch

 

Alice approaching Russell in the park

He's gentle, like her.

 

Brantley in the crook of a tree

 

On our morning walk: A young woman helping a baby learn to walk

The joy on the baby's face was obvious

 

A frozen squirrel and a curious cat

The squirrel froze stock still like this until the dogs and I had passed by, and the cat inspected some food I left on a customer's porch

 

Running into my former teacher on the street: I made her give me a hug. Her family smiled.

 

Yet again, Nigel catches the ball

 

Early morning: A few sparrows followed me as I walked the dogs

(I had not put out their food yet, I usually do that first.)

 

Catching a glimpse of a squirrel running by my front door

 

Depressed (but with friends)

 

My first order, 11:15am: a tired young woman in her PJs.......After my own heart!
