Focus on Life: Faithful

Who is more faithful than my favorite walking companion?

This week's theme for Focus on Life is Faithful. My faithful companion every morning is Bebop, my Labrador-Chow mix. Winter, summer, rain or shine, and for part of the year, in the dark, we walk at least to the end of our long driveway, and usually farther. Bebop also has a special relationship with Pippin, one of our cats. 

What other examples of faithfulness have our friends uncovered?

Celebrate Me!

I'm pretty good, How are You? 

Sally Russick of Focus on Life set us a task for this week:"Celebrate You."  We were to document a moment of our lives, to celebrate it. Well, I always have to give things my own twist, so I documented the moments leading to and leading from my work day (which I am not allowed to document.)

Let's go for a walk. 

Here we go.

Did I forget to brush my hair? 

Arriving at work

Leaving for home!! Weekend!

What parts of their lives have the others chosen to celebrate?

Focus on Life: In the morning.

I walk with Bebop. 

It's about 6:20 AM and cloudy.

Who is more enthusiastic? 

Where shall I sniff next? 

Are you finished? 

Don't bother me, I'm eating my salad. 

 Sally Russick from The Studio Sumblime gave us the assignment to fill in the blanks, In the _________________, I ___________________. Easy Peasy. In the morning, I walk with Bebop. Sometimes, I'm not that eager. I usually tell myself I only have to get to the bottom of the driveway, Usually we get revved up and go much farther. 

Let's see how others met this challenge.

Focus on Life: Routine

Every day, I'm on my way.

When prompted by Sally Russick to take photos, and write about our routine, I knew I would end up using my morning walk with Bebop as my topic. What could be more routine than the morning dog walk?

I've posted lots of pictures taken while walking on my blog, but with these, you are going to have to appreciate the routine-ness.

Nothing particularly brilliant here. But a pleasant routine. 

                   Let's go, Mom! ----------- Already hot and hazy at 6AM ----------- Mmmm, something smells good!

Hey, let's go down there! -----------Somebody's been cooling off down here ------------Done here

Back up the hill ------------ Sun's climbing higher ---------- It's not totally rural here!

Hey, what's that? (it was a skunk, no harm) ----------Over the bridge again -----------Almost home!

Let's see what the others are doing: The Studio Sublime. 

A little bit of life

[If you are looking for my Focus on Life post, it's here.]

My morning walk - with my pal.

In my last post I mentioned walking with Bebop, my dog, and today we did Grand Rounds, about a 3 mile loop, taking us over two bridges (one closed!) past several ponds, and up and down hills. 

Here's Bebop.

She was very busy. Did not want to pause for a photo op.

So here's a picture from this fall.

The floating head effect. I was photographing jewelry, and suddenly she showed up to check things out. 

And these are some of the things we saw.

Bridge closed? Not to us!

View from one side of the closed bridge.

The other side of the bridge. Can you see the ducks? 

Oh, there they are!

So, that's how we spent our Sunday morning! Thanks for stopping by!
