Photoessay #920 - Summer in the mountains


Some bright colors on a dark gray day. Last summer, Ilana went with some of her friends to Mt. Rainier and took along seven month old Teddy. Who always has a WONDERFUL time wherever he goes. Great picture of Mount Rainier, Ilana can't quite remember where they were. Dogs are not allowed on the trails, Ilana reports. Why not? asks puppy Teddy, don't they know I'm NOT a pit bull?

I noticed that I had bragged that people still came to the dog park when the temp was in the low forties. Ha! Wimps! I was there for several days when the temp was in the low 20s. And I was not alone. Currently 42 degrees, a heat wave considering the cold cold (but clear) weather we have been having.

Teddy's rounded a corner in his intellectual development. He has now decided that chasing the ball and bringing it back is the most important matter at hand. No time for any frivolous activities, he's over wrestling and running. It's all business now. Fetch the ball, again and again.

That sun and light sure look good though!
