Gulf Fritillary with Notation…
Took this shot of a gulf fritillary while on a hike with Ivan, our rescue dog. Here is the notation: all prior shots of this species in 2020 were taken in our backyard where the wings were tattered–this newest one, about a mile from the house, doesn’t have any wing tears. And kudos to Ivan […]

Whoa, Who’s That Poodle?
Ivan wouldn’t budge when he spotted a poodle walking along the surf. All I could do was pull out the cell phone and click.

Black Snout, Black Tongue
Our rescue dog, Ivan, continues to enjoy his new surroundings. Took this photo yesterday of him “smiling” and that famous black tongue. He’s a chow-chow/ husky mix learning about life from our two older rescues, Molly and Teddy. Never a dull moment. Socks on the floor will be chewed!

Three Dogs and the Stairs
Teddy, the smallest and oldest of our three rescue dogs, likes the top of the stairs as a place to check out the world. Below her is Ivan, the youngest and largest of the pack. He wants to be near the door in case it is walk time. Molly, the highly intelligent one, waits for […]

Dog Days…
Our dogs don’t watch the news, one reason why they go about their business as always. Their agenda is eat, sleep, sniff and play. They haven’t run off leash, save for sprints in the backyard which isn’t very big. When Covid-19 passes, we’ll return to their stomping grounds in the sand, but for now we […]

Beach Squirrel
Squirrels hang out on the rocks that line the hills overlooking Carmel-by-the-Sea beach. I know this because when let our dogs off leash, they run to the rocks to sniff out the squirrels that hide in the crevices. No harm is done.
