Sunshine doesn’t just come from the skies

I’m taking a break from blogging today but you can’t even tell, can you? Well, let me explain.

I’m posting some photos that I found on the camera disk today. They’re from my husband and I’ve said it before but I love finding his pictures on the camera disk. I think these are wonderful but then I’m somewhat biased. And I also think that the pictures can speak for themselves which makes this post practically write itself.

It was another spring-like day in Maryland. And George and my husband spent nearly the entire day outside.

A flock of snow geese passes overhead.

He told me that every now and then, he’d see a Canada goose in the flock.

He told me he saw swans migrating but didn’t have the camera at the time. He said it would have made a beautiful photo.

A male downy woodpecker visits the suet cake.

And a short while later, the much larger male red-bellied woodpecker.

 

And here we have the male border collie on frisbee point. This species is indigenous to our yard. And to our hearts.

 

Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog;
but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog.

My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes.

I lie belly-up
in the sunshine, happier than
you ever will be.

Today I sniffed
many dog butts — I celebrate
by kissing your face.

Have a beautiful day, all. Until tomorrow, then . . .
