Iditarod Dreams
for Sabrina

Gentle whispers
she hears
the call of the wild
as distant echoes

A snowflake quilt
warms her
and weaves quiet
daydreams

Paws rooted
within Mother earth
snowbound
her playground

Yellowstone geysers
to Malibu white sands
she travels
gently through life

Wisdom
her navigator
peace
her soul

Eyes
inspired

A Knowing

that face expresses a lot of emotions and tells a memorable story, and so does the poem

I like this. As I read it, I imagined it all through the dog's eyes.

wow Joanne...what a won'drous poem for a dog!!!! You have made her sound like a wolf who sometimes turns into a Cherokee princess, daughter of the chief! Alas! That is her true identity, isn't it!??

You fool us all Joanne...you write poetry and take innocent pictures, but the truth is...you cohort with dwarfs and prance around with wolf-princesses!!!!!!!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie. For more cute critters, click the above widget.
