#APicADay 2020: Day 187

I took the family and The girls on a walk this evening. That made getting photos more difficult because The girls are not well trained to walk calmly on leashes. Instead they pull, and get tangled up. By the end of the walk I had them mostly walking with me rather than pulling on the leashes, but it's a constant struggle with them.

 I liked the way the grass seed heads looked in the late day light.

 I am still figuring out how to get a good sun star. Not something I know how to do very well yet. But, I did get a bit of one in this picture, and the shadows were fairly recoverable in the post processing software I am using.

 This is a late stage thimbleberry. Late into the season for these.

#APicADay 2020: Day 186

There was an opportunity to go for a walk today. This was after The girls got out of the yard this morning, and went walkabout several blocks away.

 Happy Independence Day once again. I hope you're enjoying your freedoms.

 I wasn't sure what the best picture of a flag would be.

This cactus is flowering.

I liked the look of these daisies.

Baby and dog interactions

I have a five month old son who I'll call "the pup" for the purposes of this blog. We've been introducing him to the dogs, both female Irish Red and White Setters under 3 years old. They're very interested in him, and he's very interested in them. But today, he was tired, and when he's tired he gets moody. He loves the dogs, and he wanted to touch them. This meant that when they would move away from him as he tried to touch them he would get angry that he now couldn't do that.

I found it amusing. He then took a nap.
