Mini-getaway part 3

Postby beaky » Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:12 pm

The water was very cold at first, but i had a bit of a swim, then wandered up the riverbank a bit. There were some geese on the other side of the river, but they didn't leave these:

Well, it's getting late- one last look, and a promise to come back this summer... preferably on a very hot day.

The climb up is a little harder than our usual spot, but Peg is full of energy today. She's a pretty good climber; very persistent.

I took the side windows off the top for the ride back, with predictable results. Peg loves speeding along with her snoot in the breeze. And good news: I found on the way back that I'd driven right past the intersection I'd been looking for: forgot there was actually a street sign there. I won't forget next time. ;)

Took a little detour to a certain lovely little airport between two ponds... no more flying that day, apparently. Just paused for a quick look and a snapshot.

     This is a very poor image of one of the most beautiful cloud formations I've ever seen. The sunset light was perfect, and the silvery-blue of that cloud, with the other gorgeous colors behind it, was just amazing. Very Maxfield Parrish-y. Of course, I was flying down 280 East in fairly heavy traffic with no place I could pull over and get a decent shot of it.

I've always wondered why dogs put their heads out of moving cars... perhaps i should try it too once...  ;D

Lovely trip Rotty!

It may have something to do with about half their brains being dedicated to detecting and identifying odors... she's smelled everything there is to smell inside my car, and usually she only rides with me to the supermarket or whatever, so this must be quite a treat for her.
Plus, I think dogs just like speed. ;D
