Camera Critters ~ Doggie Friends

We've had some doggie friends stay with us the past two weeks over Christmas while our friends were out of the country. They are often called our "god-dogs" they are like part of the family. Our dog will stay with them when we are out of town. It makes for a small house when you have three herding dogs around...err...underfoot! It is hard to get them all in one photos so...I used food!

Now Tucker is going to be 15 this May and he has been by himself (in the dog world) for a long time. He is used to these visitors though...


...but they do go through his toy basket and take out all his toys, and tear them up and leave the all over the house and yard...

Roxy has settled in just fine, she's the youngest, and the center of everyone's attention.

We were able to get the "old man" out of the house and take him with us to a restaurant. Ah...it's good to get some attention again.

Flash loves to watch the pool filter, and is sometime timid about walking past it to go outside. Then he sees a squirrel climbing the banana tree and he's over it and outside he goes.

Roxy will go anywhere, anytime and is always in your face as well as the other dog's face (which Tucker despises) but he tolerates it. She will also lay on you snuggle with you and listen to anything you say!

This is usually the way I can get a photo of all three when they are sleeping, and often in the same room near each other or us. Monday they will be back in their own home when the owner returns...

...and Tucker will have his futon back all to himself!

Take a look at more wonderful creatures at Camera Critters! Have fun checking them all out.

~ Watery Wednesday ~ Siesta Beach, Florida

It's been awhile since I've posted...sorry about that. So of course I had to start back by posting some watery shots. You know how we love the water and beach!


Siesta Beach, Florida.

It's a very large beach with beautiful white sand.

I've added this to Watery Wednesday (yes I know it's Tuesday here, but it's Wednesday else where in the world...and if you check it out here you can see beautiful watery photos from around the world!

Thanksgiving View This Year and Last

This was the view last Thanksgiving outside the window from my aunt and uncle's house in Bradenton. Florida.

...and this was the view this year...it looks like they got rid of a tree and now you can see the palm tree...

...and this was a little later...I guess we usually eat around the same time each year.

Last year....

This year!!

This was added to Watery Wednesday this week. Check it out to see more fantastic watery photos from around the world!

Sand Bar at Low Tide ~ Watery Wednesday

We were able to take our boat our on this beautiful Sunday. It was at low tide and you can see many of the sand bars at this time. Here was a family that anchored their boat right up on the sandbar.

This dog was having so much fun, I loved watching him run along the sand bar.

It has been a while since I've linked to Watery Wednesday, I thought you all might be a little tied of all my beach, sea birds, sunset photos. Now that I have something from the boat and a little different, I'm adding this to Watery Wednesday.

Yes...Another Sunset ~ Sky Watch Friday~

We never know when we head out to the beach for sunset what kind of sunset we'll see. It can be stunning with fantastic cloud formation, or just plan clear sky. This one looked OK, sometimes when we get there it's cloudy on the horizon.

But then there are times when one little cloud on the horizon is just in the wrong spot...right where the sun was setting.

Yup...one little cloud on the horizon...

I wasn't sure if this would show up...it looked so cool in person the way it divided the sky like that!

Mellow Yellow Monday ~ Dinning outside ~

The best thing about living in Florida is this time of year when we can really enjoy eating outside.
The weather is perfect...not too hot...not too cool. The view is stunning, and relaxing.
It's the time right before the snow birds and tourist start to come and invade sun coast.

Many outdoor eating area in Sarasota now allows pets to be with you as you dine. The do have to stay off the tables and are not to use any tableware. Most restaurants will provide water bowls, hand sanitizer, and a few doggie treat specials! We've enjoyed bringing our dog here for some time now. The park that is here also allows dogs, and they have a fountain and playground for the kids. Also a marina for the sport fisherman and party barge. Always a nice place to visit.

With it's nice new yellow umbrellas I am adding this to Mellow Yellow Monday .

Cat and Mouse...err...Squirrel ~

Yeah...I'm over it!

This was added to Wordless Wednesday and is joining all those wonderful creatures at Camera Critters.
