L Is For Lady Dog

My dog Lady has a special place in my life and my heart, and she came to live with me back in 1994. She passed away in 2007, but I will always have fond memories of my beloved dog Lady.

K Is For King The Dog

K is for King the dog, who was the puppy of my dog Panda when I was younger. King was a golden knight who followed us around as children, and his eyes appeared as if they were rimmed with kohl eye-liner. My dear friend King was a sweet dog who loved us more than any brother could have, and unlike a real brother, he never teased us.  People scoff at pet owners who treat their dogs and cats like members of the family, but King was definitely my little brother in so many ways, and no one can argue differently.

G Is For Canadian Geese

Here in Southern California we have some very docile Canadian geese, who love to hang around small pond in the winter months. Here are a couple of pictures that I took around February 13 or so of this year.

The Canadian Geese

A Beautiful Canadian Goose

In the video below I kept referring to the Canadian geese as ducks, but I had to do an online search to figure out the actual name for these birds. I love that these geese were so docile, and it was quite amusing to see people feeding them bread. So have you ever seen tame Canadian geese that came up to people?

I believe all of the Canadian geese have began the migration back north sometime in March.

F Is For Field

There is a mesmerizing field that I travel by each day, with a house and an orange field in the distance. I will never grow tired of looking at this field, and think open spaces are essential, even in suburban areas. We should encourage more open spaces in all communities so people can be closer to nature.

D Is For Daisies

D is for daisies that I see during my walks. Actually, lately I have been bicycling down a local trail where these daisies are blooming, but I still have time to stop and photograph these. The bold and inviting colors are quite refreshing to see on a spring day, and I will never grow tired of seeing daisies.

I enjoy the vibrant hue of orange and yellow daisies, and look forward to seeing these pleasant flowers each day. What is your favorite flower to photograph?

Here is a video I created of the orange and yellow daisies I spotted the other day. These flowers remind me of a sunburst with their profusion of joyful color. If you have not figured out anything about me thus far, one thing I will share is that I love bright colors.
