long meadow pond

Winding up this gorgeous late summer (almost fall) day with a quick dip in the lake. I still can't get Bode to swim (he just wades) but at ten, Ruby could play fetch with the tennis ball for eons. That's my girl. How lucky am I to live just a half-mile from such a great spot?

Happy (almost) weekend! I hope you have plans to enjoy the late summer early fall weather we are getting here in New England. I plan on getting in some gardening time and am looking forward to a  family photo session.
PS- if you want to see more pictures from Long Meadow, check out my friend paddle boarding with his adorable miniature labradoodle.

grateful for the light

There is a rare moment, when the light hits things just right, and there is a slight chill in the air, hinting at what is to come (winter), but the grass is still warm enough to lay in. September. What's your favorite time of day...year? Do you notice the light? Mine lately is just before sunset--I love sunspots, and warm filtery light (especially this last shot).

the bear and the fox

This  sweet face got us all in a whole lot of trouble about ten days ago.

fine tuning the heart

There are few things in this world that make me happier then my garden, and my dogs.

weekend rambler

Ridding in the car with dogs. This is Bode, on our way home from the MS Walk we did. We were lucky the rain didn't start pouring down until after the bulk of the walk. He is a rambling boy, loves car rides. Sometimes accidental photographs are my favorites.
