Dogs in Snow

There is something awfully cute about dogs in snow. Went to visit the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum today after the big snow storm. Here are a few scenes of pure unadulterated puppy fun.

Maggie and the Snowflake

Clearly children (and child-like adults) are not the only ones would were found outside catching snowflakes during this storm that the marketing and packing experts called Nemo. Which picture do you like best?

Sticks and Snow

Stevens-Coolidge Place

So this evening I got to enjoy a little bit of late summer sunshine at the Stevens-Coolidge Place which is a property of the Trustees of the Reservations. It's near my home in an undisclosed location in the Merrimack River Valley. 

The property is one of my favorites to visit. The carefully manicured gardens are delightful to romp through. When no one is looking I sample a few of the flowers. They never taste as good as they look. The whole point today, actually, was the flowers. At least that is what the human told me. 

It turned out that it was "picking day" so a number of local humans were milling about with scissors picking the flowers. Somehow I was still forbidden to eat the flora. 

Despite the denial of tasty treats, I did manage to have some fun. I'm including some images of the highlights here.

Galloping was my main mode of locomotion

Yes indeed. I spy a bunny.

A rare shot where I actually look at the camera.

Exhausted. Playtime complete.
