i know i've done some photos from peter's creek before but this
time i brought the dogs with maia and i PLUS the real camera and not
just my cell phone camera. the weather was a little sketchy; the sun
kept hiding behind the clouds but the weather was warm and we all
appreciated spending the morning outside.
i
was trying to get a picture of maia riding her bike off into the
distance but she turned back and saw me with the camera. she adores
the camera and she hopped off her bike to pose for the picture.
a
large rock that fell off the hillside--nearly onto the trail!--about
two years ago is a favorite part of this trail for maia. she LOVES to
climb up on it, pretend she is a princess and survey her kingdom. i
think her 'crown' is perfect for a 5 year old princess.
bob
and riley were very eager and pulling so hard on the leashes as we
walked. i know you are supposed to have your dogs trained so they walk
calmly but that is the one area of their training that i've had no
success with. at least not when we are going on a walk that there is a
creek for them to play in! here riley waits...very impatiently for me
to finish taking pictures of maia.
the
last time we took bob somewhere he could swim he was a reluctant
swimmer. a quick jump in up to his belly and he was finished. i was
very surprised to see that today he was the first one in the water and
was waiting for riley.
riley
is a border collie mix (we think with lab) and he spends most of his
time at any creek or river rescuing sticks and then herding them safely
on the shore. bob only helped with the first rescue then bailed.
maia was worried that they would never come out of the water so we could go back home and did most of the work coaxing them out.
