After weeks of snow, rain and colds we needed some outside time and turned to one of our favorite and frequent destinations, Foulweather Bluff Preserve. We haven’t been there in winter nor in stormy weather so we weren’t sure what to expect.

Today Baby Ralph traveled on the big boat to be photographed from our office’s rooftop deck.

My dog (a pure bred Llewellin Setter) does not subscribe to the please-my-owner philosophy that apparently all other canines practice. He’s entirely self-centered and drives me nuts most of the time (two days ago he tried to squeeze himself between a rhody and the camera pressed to my face – my nose and the rhody lost) but he’s a good looking dog, I love him and when given the time to run he’s a joy to watch.
