Month: September 2014

Honeysuckle Collage Sept 24 2014
I love it when nature surprises me!  I glanced out of my window overlooking the garden this evening and saw a honeysuckle flower in full bloom!  I couldn’t believe it!  Normally this plant blooms in May, not September!  I was out in the garden in a flash with my camera … not only hoping to photograph one of my favorite flowers, but to enjoy the sweet honeysuckle fragrance that I love so much as well.  I noticed that the vine has many green berries, too, which I never noticed before.  The birds will love them this winter!

Early this morning I had another garden surprise, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see what it was!  🙂

Sharing a swim and a toy at the JFK Pool in Pottsville, PA at the Bow Wow Pool Party last month!  Which pup do you think claimed the toy all for him/herself by the time they got to the edge of the pool?

As Fall begins and the days and nights become cooler, I’m already beginning to miss the abundance of flowers in my garden.  I am taking advantage of every last opportunity to photograph the blooms that remain before they go to sleep for the winter.

I revisited my images from Pawsabilities 2014 – an event in Harrisburg, Pa. that benefits Susquehanna Service Dogs.  SSD trains and provides service and hearing dogs to children and adults with disabilities.  It’s a wonderful event where dogs and their families come to complete in the many doggie Olympics, watch flyball and dock diving, learn about SSD, participate in costume contests, and generally have a dog-gone good time!  I’ll provide info about the 2015 event as the date draws closer!  In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog puppy who was having a grand time at this year’s event!
