I Love This Time of Year!

I just love this time of year! Everything is finally turning green again, and I feel like I’m coming to life again after a long winter. So, today we went down to our friends place to train with the dogs. She lives about 1/2 an hour away and the drive is a beautiful one. It’s through a gorgeous canyon with water running through it. It’s one of my favorite drives.

So, we worked on Obedience with Raven, Twist and Layla. We worked outside today, which proved to be a huge distraction for all three dogs. My friend has geese, chickens, horses and a goat all within eye and earshot of where we were training. It was a challenge, but a really nice day. We have alot of work to do at different outdoor locations before the first of June because that obedience trial is outside (Yikes!).

On the way home everything just looked so pretty and green that I couldn’t help but pull off for a minute and take some pictures. Here are my favorites of the day.

Flo,

I’m glad you liked the pictures. The Shelties will pose just about anyway I ask them to, if there is some treat involved. LOL That’s the only secret. I carry treats with me whenever I have the camera, and then we’re set to go! :-)

Thanks Dawn and Ricky,

We are definitely enjoying the warm weather and the chance to actually feel like being outside to take pictures again.

Christy,

Yeah, it was definitely too long of a winter for me! It looks like you’ve been up to all kinds of projects so far since the weather has warmed up. I’m still battling the weeds down here, but I’m still happy to have that to deal with instead of the cold. :-)
