Dog Wilderness

It's been a while but Cheyenne and I still take time occasionally to get out and walk in the woods but it's getting too hot to do in the full heat of the noon day sun.Early in the morning the sun was striking the tops of the trees and I couldn't get over how lovely the colors were against the blue, cloudless sky.I think these things were Jamaican dogwoods but they looked like maple leaf "helicopters" those leaves that whirl and twirl as they fall.It was still fairly hot and muggy for my ten year old Labrador but she was having fun. This No Name Key trail is criss crossed by Key deer and she could smell where they'd been.The sun was coming up and like vampires......we had to go home to bed.

Our own walks with the dogs have been relegated to a time after 8:00pm. Just too hot otherwise.
Cheyenne looks as ornery as ever.

She is. I can barely control her.

Great pictures!

Snow and rain forecast for all day today and haven't seen the sun in over a week here in Southwest Montana.

Can't wait to visit your city in 149 days!

Snow in June? I cannot begin to understand how ghastly that must be. It's going to be winter again in three months.

Bingo on the Jamaican Dogwood! Lots more fun to congratulate you than give lectures on Botany.
