Scout is back in businessAfter a long break from COVID we are all celebrating, with some hesitation, a return to near normalcy. Scout's 2-year certification ran out and he developed a supraspinatus tendonopathy that caused him to limp after strenuous exercise. He endured months of walking (only) on a leash and being trapped in his crate for lengthy periods. He recovered and we tested for mission readiness. Scout did a great job, finding a hidden subject in 80 acres of rough terrain. The wind was poor and for the first hour didn't do much. We were two hours into the search when Scout suddenly took off, ran out of sight, then returned to signal me with a spin that he found the subject. Thus, Scout is "back in the saddle." Meanwhile I took a trip to Namibia. Check out my images. So Long, Sandra

BLOOMIN' FLOWERS: CALIFORNIA TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHYWhen my friend, Debbie, suggested we meet in Southern California last January I had no idea that we would be visiting a desert alive with blooms, resulting from the record rain this winter. We were lucky, and hadn't realized the timing of our visit would be so good.
We drove from San Diego to the Borrego State Park, where temperatures reach the 120s in the summer heat. In March the highs were in the 60's--perfect for hiking. See below for a few of my fav pix from the visit. |
