I hope that you're having a zany good day, like R did in the high mountains a few days ago.
I am taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of our country. We are so lucky to have deserts, mountains, and vast open spaces, all within our reach. Last week, Shyla looked raptly at the view from our campsite, while standing on a lingering snowfield. This huge world is still novel to her.
Next to the melting edges of that snowfield, there were Glacier Lilies, lots and lots of them.
There were also small lakes, fed by melting snow. Shyla made graceful water sculptures as she swam.
We had a glorious time in that campsite, taking hikes on a nearby mountainside.
And, outrunning storms to reach the safety of camp before being hammered.
The sun always shined again after the storms, painting beautiful alpine pictures.
I know that I am grateful for our incredibly varied and beautiful country, and so is our R.
Happy Independence Day from us to you.
Happy Independence Day from us to you.
Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July.

ReplyDeleteLove Shyla's water-tail sculpture! That girl certainly does provide the excellent photo opps, doesn't she? I think she deserves a cookie ;)

Your two pups just make me smile. The water sculpture and the last shot of R are just pawsome!! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotta get packing, but I just had to stop by and see what your pack was up to. :)
Your photos and words always make us stop and appreciate all the beauty of our world.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can understand the pain and emptiness we are feeling, we know it would be you. Thank you for being our friend.
We want to thank you so very much for your kind words of comfort and friendship after our very sudden loss of Thunder. We are all still very sad, but the support and love from all of our friends from all over the world is helping to heal our broken hearts. We are sure that Thunder Dunder is now in a very happy place and also very thankful to have so many wonderful friends.

R's eyes remind me of my Sparty's eyes. They are just so sweet and full of love. Love him!
