We had a very special visit from this awesome Roadrunner yesterday. He really enjoyed seeing his reflection in my sunroof. Also notice tiny little "Titty," the Juniper Titmouse....not happy with our new visitor so close to his "headquarters."

We enjoyed a lovely weekend with my dear friend, Susan, and her lovely White German Shepherd, "Tawny." Susan and Bob invited a very frightened Tawny into their home late last year, and have worked with her daily to inspire and awaken her self confidence and feeling of belonging. She has…

Today, we remember our legendary boy, Wile E., aka "Buddy-O." We said good-bye and laid him to rest four years ago today. He wasn't just a dog. He was a cool dude, who really knew how to get out there and have great fun, and he loved doing it with us. Gone…

Just two weeks ago, we watched a similar scene unfold here at el Rancho. It was quite exciting, actually, to see all the moisture come our way. After all, they say April showers bring May flowers. And while storms like these are common this time of year, we rarely get…

We were elated to see our little Weeping Peach tree with its first-ever blooms yesterday. I knew we were about to get clobbered by a gigantic spring snow storm, so I snapped this photo as I stood and admired their beauty for a moment. I'm so glad I did, because here's what…

A windy, snowy day like today sends me off into fantasy-land, recalling sunshiny days like this one at the Great Sand Dunes National Park, where the kids can really let loose and show us their true smiles. Not only does this particular photo take me away to a sunnier day....but…

We brought our sweetheart home to live with us on Halloween 2015, knowing she had just had a litter of pups....but we never actually had the opportunity to meet those pups, until now. I finally remembered to ask for a photo of her kids, and my dear friend, Taylor, with…

In honor of my beloved Dad's 69th birthday today (OOPS! Did I just say that?), this month's photo is dedicated to my hero. I have many great memories of days like this, spent with him traveling all over our beautiful Rocky Mountains. This golden moment was captured near the summit of Guanella…

After an extended hiatus from my Photo of the Month posts, I thought I'd bring back the tradition with this shot of our new girl taking in the sights on our walk down the driveway this morning. Me Me came to live with us on Halloween 2015, and our days…
