Forgotten

Bailey

This one is hard. Still so hard to believe he is gone. In November, 2012 he started acting weird, looking different. He became very lethargic and suddenly bloated up in the abdominal region. I took him to the emergency vet and he was diagnosed with a hemorrhaged sarcoma. His stomach was full of blood. Prognosis was poor. I'm sure the ER vet expected me to say to put him down but we hadn't even had a chance to wrap our minds around it. CeeCee wasn't even there, she didn't know. So I opted to bring him home and we would discuss it. We brought him to our regular vet the following Monday expecting to put him down. She looked at the xrays, looked at him with energy and happy to see her. She said lets try him on some steroids and see how he does. They helped immediately. He got better, not fully back to his normal self but better.

He was good until the end of December, I could see he was fighting it and losing. It was pretty awful to watch but I'm glad we had those two months to play and give him everything he wanted. He passed away with CeeCee by his side in the truck on the way to the Vet. He will forever be my boy, I was his person. No other dog will replace him in my heart.

Gus

Gus and I bonded last week at the pond. For some reason lately birds have been a little more trusting of me. It could be the way I shoot them now. I usually sit on the ground or crouch down low. Maybe it's less intimidating to them but I've had lots of luck lately with getting close to them.

Faded and Beautiful

I know, I know...you are wondering what I've been doing for well over a year. It has been a crazy year. Some good, some not so good times. For now, I will just say I'm back. I need to focus on this page and what it means to me. Daily images of what I see.

We waited a long time for winter to end, this year it seemed like that may never happen. Then slowly, the leaves started to form, the flowers began to sprout and before we knew it, it was green and gorgeous around here....then those early spring blossoms faded and fell....my eyes looked down one day and this magical carpet of flower petals and shadows had appeared. Another way for the beauty to shine.

Another Glorious Sunrise

Sorry...I just can't quite get over the fact that this is what I see every morning when I get up....stunning

Captain through CeeCee's eyes

I didn't want to do another post on my other blog on Captain so I just thought I would add this statement from CeeCee that she just posted today on FB.

Keep Dreaming

Wow

Just wow...another gorgeous sunrise this morning over the pond.

Sunset Tonight

I have to post this picture...taken from my iPhone tonight...it was stunning. I will check my other camera tomorrow. I'm glad I actually had it with me for a change.

After the storms - Sunrise today

This one kind of looks like a painting...it was so pretty this morning over the pond.

Sunrise over the Farm

RIP Bubba...enjoy those green pastures

And we have Winter (cellphone pic)

So not my thing...but it did look pretty this morning

Trail Riding

I wish this picure was a little more in focus but...I was tryig to prove that yes, I was on a horse. This was on our trail ride in the Smokey Mountains and this was right before CeeCee's horse had a tree fall in front of her that spooked her and she wouldn't go past it. She reared up spun around and the whole time CeeCee held on. She wasn't happy about it though and I'm sure I will never get her to go on a trail ride again.

Running

I want to be free to run like this...

Family ~ circa 1970's
