Dog Walk – Dec. 3, 2013

Today’s dog walk was fun and some of our usual friends were out. The Green Heron was searching for bugs to eat. Then Pixel decided we needed to go a couple blocks further than normal, which took us past a neighbor’s yard full of wonderful lush, green plants.

Dog Walk – Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Just when I was joking that I had dragged the camera with me and there was nothing to take photos of today. I actually said to my husband, “Please take the leash, maybe there will be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker” on the tree ahead. Surprise there was! Turns out that it wasn’t such a bad outing after all.
