Sunny Sunday

I have the BEST guard dog!

The weekend wouldn't be complete without a trip to Panera Bread. Why is Stella eating a bone?

Because whipped cream is for dessert!

 All of these snacks sure makes a pup thirsty.

Backyard duck family.

I stopped to shoot a peeling tree on our walk to the forest. Stella was very interested in the lizards running around it.

Swimming & Splashing

Google wanted to race. Nice tail!

 

Stella was quite the swimmer today. She had a blast chasing the squirt from a super soaker.

 

Wheaten or Jaws?!?

 

How could she possibly stay awake after a full day of swimming?!?

Long Walk

Stella went to the groomer this morning to get her summer cut. After work she wanted to take a long walk so she could show off her new hairdo.

 We went to the forest & on the way, I shot some nice details ...

My tuckered out pup! Time to rest up for the weekend!

Spring Park Coffee

After the photo workshop, we went to Spring Park Coffee, a REALLY cool coffee shop in Green Cove Springs.

They have an amazing variety of coffee specialty drinks. I had an iced Tag-a-Long (espresso, peanut butter & dark chocolate). Next time I'm going to try an iced Almond Joy (espresso, almond, coconut & dark chocolate).

Awesome! LOL!

Photo Workshop

Today I helped Mary teach a photo workshop at Camp Chowenwaw Park in Green Cove Springs. It would be cool to go back & camp out in the treehouses. I can't believe I didn't get to shoot any pix of them. This wasn't our workshop cabin!

We had a beautiful cabin with 2 large meeting rooms, a kitchen & 2 bathrooms.

I didn't realize that dragonflies come in different colors ...

This light blue one was pretty cool!

Fishing?

These mushrooms look like sea urchins.

I hate spiders but there were some really cool webs!

Happy 4th!

There's nothing more American than a classic Airstream!

... and a dip in the pool!
