Photo Interlude

Crofton Lake

While I sit here missing the Wednesday Walk and watching Charley (who is resting comfortably and wondering why I am starving her to death), I figured I would put up some of the photos of the past few days. I was going to weave them into a story, but EvenSong assures me I don't have to wax poetic in order to post photos. Besides, pictures of happy dogs and of nature help keep me centred and lower my stress level. And posting pics is waaaaay more fun than cleaning house or weeding gardens.

On Thursday, several of us took our dogs up to Crofton Lake and then returned via the long route down. This was the first time I'd done this longer hike, and it was a delight (well, except when Sadie took off into the bush and didn't return for a looooong three or four minutes while I called and called and called!). The whole area was covered with masses of white daisies and yellow dandelions, and through the trees one could see all the way to the ocean.

On Sunday, Else and I took Archie and Tess, Sadie and Charley out to Swallowfield where Archie and Tess enjoyed a swim, while Sadie cheered them on, Charley checked out the surrounding area, and Else and I watched a pair of geese with their newly hatched goslings.

Later Sunday evening, Ellen and I took the dogs for a walk on the beach near my home. Kinley wasn't too sure about those wet salty waves!

Are you sure it's safe?

The day ended with the setting sun washing the shoreline with gold.
