Old man tree


I went to visit Linda last week, and had my camera ready, just in case Goose had a new outfit.  But, she doesn't.


The little patch of daisies is still in bloom by the gate post, across from Goose.


Alberta’s garden is lovely.  Linda says actually it is so dense in there footing is treacherous.  Nevertheless, we had stuffed peppers and cucumbers for lunch.


But, I really had my eye on her neighbor’s tree.  I’ve wanted  its picture for some time, and Saturday was beautiful.  I went over and sat on a low wall.  The dogs of the house came over and kept me company.  A yellow lab and a black lab.  The yellow laid on my feet; the black leaned on my knee.  I think the tree was amused.

  1. I love your pictures. And comments. Why is it that stroll is always more fun when accompanied by dogs? Beautiful pics. I love Goose's get up. Even if it isn't new . . . And that is definitely a picture-worthy tree!

  7. Like Jane, when I viewed the photographs last night, I saw an angel in the tree. I decided to hold back on that one, but now that I am not the only one, yes, definitely an angel. It is a beautiful tree - and what magnificent gardens.
