WordPress Photo Challenge: Force of Nature

 

cropped Katie May 8 2015

Dandelions, those pretty little yellow flowers that so many people work so hard to eradicate from their golf course inspired yards, are incessant forces of nature.  Turn your back on them for one moment and they spring back to beautiful life.

And Katie-girl, a force of nature in her own stubborn, hyper, crazy, joyous way.

The combination is beautiful.

You can see all the other interpretations of forces of nature at the original post.  Or catch a few of my favorites here, here and here.  Each is a totally different take on the concept.

I love these challenges because you see wonderful things from all over the world.  Enjoy.

Groomer

Princess Katie had an appointment with her groomer today.  It’s not her favorite way to spend a Friday or any other day for that matter.  Still, it was time.

This morning I took her on a wander around the back yard in an attempt to get her to do her business.  The grass was wet.  And then she walked purposefully through the vegetable garden.  I don’t believe I’ve ever seen her quite like this.  And no, no business was done.

Husband took her to the groomer who I’m sure had also never seen her quite like this.  But at least we got our money’s worth this time.

She says she should be good for a long time now.  No more groomer visits in her future.  She’s sure of it.

Pretty sure anyway.

No more groomer mama!

WordPress Photo Challenge: Intricate

As usual I had lots of ideas, places to go, things to look at.  And then I decided to stay at home and enjoy this beautiful weather in my own yard.

You can see all the interpretations of Intricate at the original post, or check out a few of my favorites here, here and here.

This is a really interesting topic and one I’d like to explore further.  We’ll see if I find anything more.  Might be later this summer.  Or winter.  Or sometime.  Meanwhile look around in your own life.  What do you notice, what’s beautiful because of it’s intricacies?

Surprise! Not

Husband mowed the yard last night, and I moved the kennel up against the deck.  This morning I moved Katie’s kennel further away from the deck steps.  As I walked back into the house I said to myself:

“Self, that kennel is way too close to the bird feeder.  Wonder how long till the squirrels figure it out.”

Answer:  Under an hour.

Breakfast!

Breakfast!

Excuse me while I go move the kennel.

 

Run!
