Wayward beacon and various other things

Ever wonder what your child might look like in sunglasses with a pig nose attached? Wonder no longer.

Do you see a problem with this picture?

How about now?

Yes, meet "Cattle Dog." He showed up at our house Thurs. and so far I haven't been able to find his owner. My friend said, "you must have a beacon on your house for wayward creatures." How true it seems. Although this wayward creature cannot stay sadly.

Here Matthew is with his legos and yard sale find, a Mickey Mouse as big as him.

Pink rain clouds anyone?

More pink rain clouds, just because I love them.

And finally a very tired little guy who loves his duck so much he had to sleep with it today at naptime. (And now again at bedtime.) Thanks Auntie for fixing duck!

Actually, I saw 2 problems--That Boy making off with the hose, and the extra dog. Do you see any similarities between the dogs? I suspected Scamp had a lot of cow dog shape and movement.
Do you think you see things differently because of having a camera with you?--that it increases your abilities to notice and appreciate? You record things that others might see as ordinary, and make them notable, worthy of a second and third look.

I'm glad I now have a face for "cattle dog"; I hope you find his home soon but it looks like he's decided your his new owner!

I agree with everything everybody has said so far. Really, you have the most incredible clouds at your place! And I thought the photo of the boy with Mickey was cute. If you look under the table, there are those two pairs of feet--one set is small and barefoot, and the other set is huge and yellow!

Hehe! I knew someone would make a call on the hose, but I didn't say so! I do see similarities between the 2 dogs and yes, cattle dog does believe he is at home. He's been begging me to keep him.

As for the camera, I've been wondering if I notice more because I have it, or is it Matthew, or the fact I've slowed down by not working so much, is it the country or the fact that I know I have to take pictures for the blog? I don't know, but I've really feel blessed to have caught as much as I have and to have been able to share it. I enjoy doing this and appreciate all the wonderful comments!
