Hector...

And Tara...

 On a training mission...

 Spike holds the prey on a line, then release...

And Hector attacks, in spite of a robin's heckling...

 Tara secures Hector...

 And lets him enjoy his victory.

Sweet Success!!!

By Evening...

Clouds dress the mountain...

 A batch of strawberry-rhubarb jam cools...

And TJ grills a delicious dinner...

Simply, a perfect close to our day!!!!

Cleaning Up...

By the swing where the kids play...

 Piles of junk want moving!

 TJ joins me...

 And together...

We begin to create a safe space...for possibilites!!!

Slim Pickings...

Taunia, Esther, neighbor Lilly, Caroline, Spike, Huck & I...

 Head out to do some...

 Berry picking...

 Huck eats the 'perfect' ones...

But our buckets fill slowly...

The kids together fill one then off to play, while Taunia...

 And I each fill only one.

Still...a good time!

 A half crate of sweet strawberries, fun memories...
And a bit of sweet anticipation!

 

Jasmine...

And Candlelight...

More...Scent-sations!



The Rose...

City...

 From Portland's Washington Park...

 Rose Gardens!

 We wander through the grandeur...

Candace & I... 

As sweet perfume...

And harp music fill the air...

A festival...

 For our senses!!!

Mother Nature's creations!

Then, home in the quiet yard...

We savor our own creations!
Perfect!

Storm...

Clouds gather...

Promising!!!

An Uncle...

And his Boy-o...

Goofin' Off!!!

After Days....

The clouds part...

 The mountain appears.

 Can one take too many pictures?

When each reveals...

 Yet another...

 Perspective...

Of her majesty???

So Happy...

To be sharing the day...

Caroline & Sophie!!!



Great Generations...
