Pictures from this weekend

I got some really lovely shots of my pack, Nikolai and one of Josephine the tarantula.



Jezzie enjoying the ridge!

Jez running to catch up, early in the walk.

Lovely Jez








Coba in action!

Bliss' best 'noble collie' impression:


I don't have any desire to touch this little guy, found under some damp wood:


Rogue dashed through SUCH a mud puddle. Groan! She'd been relatively clean before that!




Look at her, so proud of herself!

A still place


The solution to a filth-encrusted Rogue! This trough is spring-fed and feeds a stream, so tossing the dog in it won't sully it for long.


Coba's just going to need bathing and grooming now. He sure has fun getting filthy, though. YAY DIRT!




Now, for the house dinosaur. Here he is enjoying some asparagus in the bedroom:


Nikolai seems to photograph more easily in the lighting of my house than the little birds...perhaps because the flash doesn't make his plumage look nearly as bad, and his colors seem truer without it, too. He also has these great facial expressions.


Here he is taking apart an old stand I made for the little birds. When he's done, I want to make a new one on the same base.


This is my favorite of the set:






Dogs are tired now:



Jez is aging well, but she is definitely aging.


And a parting shot of fuzzy wuzzy Josephine:

I think I will have to take my camera on my hikes more...

You get into that habit, and end up with wonderful shots! I find that several years later, you cannot have enough shots of pets, kids and other beloveds, or yourself.
