Caption Me


I love it when others offer their suggestions for a photo caption, so please do so with this one.  The background for this photo:  Taken at the Phoenix Zoo as a camel handler brings one of his charges into the arena where children (and even adults) are offered rides on camels.  So give me your best thoughts!

Back-Packing Farmer


Wonder what he's got in that paper bag?
Lunch maybe?
What do you think the farmer's wife packs for his lunch?
Can't wait to see all your answers!

I photographed this sweet little Aussie pup at Canton Trade Days in March.


And just a month later look how much he's grown!

33/100 Dogs ~ Truman ~Boxer


Shortly after Christmas my granddog Sammy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and then in late January Truman came to live with my daughter and grandson via Boxer Luv, the Boxer rescue organization in Phoenix.  He has blended well into their family by this point.  He is believed to be about three years old.  One interesting thing they discovered about him is that when their land line rings, he goes to the set and picks up the receiver and brings it to someone to answer.  Perhaps he was a service dog in his past life!  This picture was taken by me the first day Truman met his new human family.

Along the Roadsides


The drought is officially over in Texas - at least in Deep East Texas where I live.  Evidence of that is the wildflowers blooming along country roadsides.  One of my favorite is the Sweet William which is seen in profusion this spring.  The smell is as sweet as the flower.

Sinkful of Flowers


First Monday Trade Days
Canton, Texas

When I first saw this sinkful of flowers I immediately thought of Janice at Gypsy Farm Girl 
because she has so many unique ideas for outdoor garden decor.

Pint-Sized Cowboy - First Monday Trade Days, Canton, Texas


I'm definitely the coolest kid in Canton today with my cowboy hat, boots, and six-shooter.


Hmm, there's some interesting spurs over there.  I think I'll go see if they might fit my new boots.
(Dontcha love the price tag hanging either out of the pants or over the top of the boots?)


Uh-oh, I seem to have lost Pa while I went to check on those spurs.  Now where did he go?


Whew, Pa!  There for a while I was afraid you might be lost! 
Now don't be wandering off again, ya hear?
