    Random pictures: Spring Edition

    Here are some random pictures of things I've seen wandering around. I love Springtime!


    Wishing the bus would hurry up. Sun is usually surrounded by blocks of rain...


    Ducks crossing a river.



    Water drops


    Looking down from a cliff. The waterfall is HUGE!

    Bo, the found dog. I was out walking to the store and saw him wandering the street looking lost. I recalled seeing a poster up the street with a dog that looked like him so I got the phone number off the poster and of course he wandered off again. After searching a bit, I found him with some nice neighbors. He had a licence but the animal control office was closed. I called the number on the flyer and the lady I talked to said that her dog had been found. I figured I would keep him overnight and call the animal shelter in the morning. About an hour later, I got a call back from the woman saying that her dog WAS at home when she went to the office but somehow he had escaped...again. I'm glad this nice boy has a home and that I was able to reunite him with his person.
    That's all for this edition of random photos! I hope you all enjoyed them.
    Edit: The attached image is of a rose I found on one of my walks.

    I LOVE these photos! I grinned at those little ducklings just going as fast as their little feet could paddle and their non-flight wings could manage. "Hey Ma! Wait up!" I've heard that Mama Duck DOES rush the trip in case predators show up!

    Flower pics - !

    Thanks so much for sharing.

    Lovely photos, and a WONDERFUL story about the dog, thank you!

    Lovely Pictures.

    Glad the dog got back home. Houdini must be his middle name.

    Thanks, everyone! The woman told us that she had been taking Bo to work with her. She is a therapist and most of her clients were happy to have a big, friendly dog around. One guy had to complain about him, though, and so she decided to stop taking him to the office. He has managed to get out twice since she stopped taking him. When we found him, he seemed very happy that people were paying attention to him. After the lady came and got him, she said that the crabby, dog disliking client can go find another therapist because she is going to start taking Bo to the office again.

    What beautiful pictures! I'm loving the flower ones. I'm glad you found Bo's owner. Since she stopped taking him to work, he was probably trying to look for her. I'm happy to hear she is going to take him to the office again. Animals are wonderful with therapy patients.

    RIP Sally

    I enjoyed looking at the pictures. Bo's mom should watch him more carefully or put up a fence. Very lucky you found him walking around, the outcome could have been much worse.
