Lake Pleasant Rattlesnake


Rattlesnake sighting - This is a "Crotalus Atrox", commonly known as a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.


Cierra patiently waiting for me.


Cierra parked her butt in the water while I ate lunch.


Great scenery, that's why I come here.


The cattails at the edge of the waterfall.


The "pool", is a little clearer today than the last time I saw it.


Ah, THIS is why I come here.


Ooops, they are waiting for me...


Hey, what are they looking at?


Cierra picked the path walking through the water, I picked the path walking on dry ground, she ran to catch up with me in case she was missing something. She likes to be in front when we're hiking.

Hiking Westwing Mtn

Cierra had the day off from hiking.
Mr. Bosseh-Pants David, my son James and I went hiking on Westwing Mountain.
It was a nice hike but HW's was dragging, a week off of hiking did me no good.




The boys: James and Mr. Bosseh-Pants


James, up high, checking out the views

Honey, I Blew Up The Dog


The dog just exploded, *POOF*, I don't know how it happened...


After an eternity of brushing, we had some play time with "Wilson"


If my dog is sable colored, why is all the fur that comes off her white?


That serious focus and concentration is because of an insect in the grass.


After some play time with Wilson, toenails were trimmed, bellies were rubbed, and she had a bath.

Cierra says: "Welcome to Triple Digit Temperatures!"

Followed-up with: "Turn on the garden hose so I can get wet now..."

Today

Right Now 94°
102 ° / 69 ° Sunny

Hello Mr. Gecko

There was a gecko in my bucket this morning...

He wasn't very ferocious. Not in the least bit.


See the heart on the tip of his nose? Well, hello there loverboy.

Blog Junkie

Lately I have spent a lot of time looking at other people's blog sites, websites, etc... and I have been amazed at what I am finding.

Sometimes one site leads me to another site and WOW...

There are artists, poets, yogis, vegetarians, photographers, travelers with wanderlust, mom's, dad's, empty nesters... the list is endless. I am touched by them all.

If you have a site, thank you for sharing you life with me, for taking the time to write, photograph your world, share your thoughts and to care enough to post it.

hugs from Hundewanderer

Hiking Dragonfly Trail


Pretty good camouflage, but not good enough, I see you.


Scenery of all kinds on the Dragonfly Trail.
