Stretching an accidental break from the blog into two weeks off.
See you next month! (I know that's actually only six days away -- where did the summer go? -- but 'next month' sounds so long and leisurely.)

It's supposed to be a morning walk but with the puppy along it turns into an inventory, her second visit to Solstice Canyon and not a leaf or twig or tree or stone or shrub that isn't infinitely interesting.
So Walt and I slow down, visuals giving way to what you hear (the creek, the parrots, something large moving through the underbrush) and smell (drying sage) and feel (the breeze, so sweet, that breeze) while standing still. Until, inching along, we come upon the butterfly, just one, resting.
A painted lady? Beautiful.

I promise this isn't going to become all dogs all the time but Walter taking refuge in the puppy's crate just cracks me up.
