Gound Hog Day

Guess what.  I really think the ground hog was right.  I went to the park today and listen to this.


Then look at this.
 Hows that for spring is coming!!

 Spring is coming? whoohoo!!!!

Ive been a bad park goer.  Ive been letting Miley off leash.  The park has been really deserted this winter so I thought she would get more exercise  off leash. She can go chase squirrels which requires her to jump over logs and  run.  Anyway, I usually look down the paths alot to make sure no one is coming. But today I was messing with the camera and all of  a sudden a guy on a bike is right behind me. I didnt hear him and he didnt say anything. Guiness starts going berserk . I'm holding two leashes and all of a sudden realize I dont have Miley on leash. Oh crap.  She runs up to the bicycle. The guy looked worried and I told him that she wouldnt do anything to him, so he kept on riding.  I called Miley and she turned around and came to me.  How great is that.  I was shocked. To call her off a moving bicycle made my day. I know it doesnt seem like much but it seem huge to me. Yea Miley!

I dont know if more tress and bushes are dying or if the park cleared some more areas. This area I havent been able to go thru before.  I saw it the other day and noticed  the colors in the rocks.  I hope you can see it.  I guess the water level must be down.



In the same spot there was a tree  over hung the water.
I thought it would be cool to get Miley's picture on it with those rocks in the back ground.  Well that was a lot harder that it looks.
I had to put treats on the tree and get her to go out on it.  Then try to make her stay as I ran back to get the shot.  LOL  it took many takes.

 But by the time I would get her to go out on the tree and then get back to take the shot, she would turn around to get off.

I finally, after many tries, I got one shot. Not the greatest but I was almost out of treats.
