Walking dogs between rain storms provided a chance to spend some time in Homeward Bound’s other eight acres – beyond the Memorial Garden. Here are a few vignettes from the pond which has overflowed its banks, and a very soggy landscape. This is what winter looks like in the Sacramento Valley. Good thing dogs can paddle!

Nature in its glory…spectacular!

Good capture of sparrow!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you! Happy, Merry…to you as well 🙂
Thank you!!! 🙂
As always, you show me things I would totally miss if left to my own powers of observation. You teach me to stop and “smell the roses.”
🙂
Beautiful pictures. I didn’t even know we had cat tails at Homeward Bound. I love the picture of the tennis ball.
You need to get out of the Garden more! 🙂
When you say ‘wet,’ you mean wet. Love the little sparrow on the fence – great shot. Happy Holidays to you.
And to you as well, Judy!
Hey Ogee, Jet here.
Wowee wow wow… your wet weather looks like our 6 months of rainy season here in the tropics.
Well it’s not supposed to look that way here! It can stop anytime now…please!
Wonderful pictures of nature!
Thank you!
Glorious photos! Those clouds are threatening, aren’t they? I know some dogs cannot tolerate a rolling thunderstorm — I hope none of the goldens and others were frightened by any loud booms out your way.
Thankfully, we get few thunderstorms in the valley. We ship those to the Sierras above us, and they roll down the water.
