Cherries and chocolate and a hummingbird and a wonderful friend

 

Meditating with my hair on fire

(trying to)

 

Nigel sitting suavely on the bed

 

Nigel and me playing fetch

 we play 10 mins. every night

The path through the tall grasses

 

too much driving

 

Birds on a wire at sunset

 

A flock of birds against a beautiful sky

 

Kind Konrad

 before meditation

Nice old tree and a beautiful old stone wall

 

A hawk landing on the cross atop a church spire

 

I think I saw a cedar waxwing...Very elegant boid (bird)

 

Nigel bounced the ball off his nose several times

 

Nigel gingerly inspecting the plastic duck someone left in the park

 

So nice to see my friends again

 

Nigel sliding into the grass to catch the ball

 

Nigel in the grass with a mini tennis ball

 

We got caught in a downpour, Nigel, Alice and I

 

A very pregnant woman and her daughter, both all in white

 

A little cottontail darting out of the stickerbushes around an old stump

 

Alice on strike - She didn't want to walk anymore

 

Having sweet dreams

 

After a vigorous session of catching the ball, Nigel cools his belly in the grass

 

I took half a day off

 

Nigel looks at a mushroom

 

There was some squabbling at the bird feeder this morning

 

Conversation in an asphalt parking lot

me: “It's like when you open the oven door”

complete stranger: “Right!”

 

Guy wiping the sweat off his head with his shirt

 

Lisa deftly smashing a lantern fly with her toe

 

A beautiful catch by Nigel

 

My new favorite customer

He always comes out to meet me

Moira Rose peering around the corner at me, skeptically

 

Playing fetch with Nigel in Mt. Storm park

 

Some shallow steps

and a kind and beautiful person

 

just knitting a little bit

 

Lisa paid a surprise visit & the pugs were happy

 detail

Beautiful tree all branching out in front of Maxfield Parrish-type clouds

 

Hye and me calling Nigel

He was just behind a tree.

Also, he always comes running back.

 

Nigel flying over the front steps as he sometimes does

 

A plastic bag blowing across the road

I honked at it because I thought it was a squirrel

 

Nigel catching the ball, cutely

 

Bella worrying a good stick

 

Nigel tearing around doing figure eights, elated because... Lisa is here!

 

A sparrow came to the door while I was rowing. She was asking for food I think.

 

A rabbit I startled out of an overgrown yard

 

Alice all spikey-furred from the rain

 

A guy kissing his friend on the top of his head at the Barrett Center

 

Nigel made a particularly impressive catch tonight, at dusk, amidst the fireflies

 

A black cat - our black cat, lately - bolting out of the bushes when I opened the door

 

Blossom puppy, Sage, chasing Blossom
