Serene Scenery Sunday

Greetings to all, it's me, Maggie, here with Serene Scenery Sunday!  Yesterday was such a great day! I went on an early morning walk with my dad before breakfast, then another one with Cam and Mom after we ate.  In the afternoon, it was still cool enough for a walk - so we all went again!!!  It was wonderful!  Mom took her camera along, so I thought I'd share the beauty of what we saw with you!  Ready?

The first cool thing we saw was fishies!  In Little Kitten Creek!  Take a look:

Fishies!!!

No wonder we sometimes see a Great Blue Heron in there! (Not yesterday, though. The birds put the word out that Mom had the Canon with us. I don't think we saw one single birdie!)

We saw a lot of sunflowers:

"Look!  Sunflowers!"
"Wait!  I thought I heard a cicada!"

Here's a close-up:

Sunflower

It was breezy out; can you tell?

We saw lots of other wildflowers, too!

This might be Prairie Verbena

Blue Sage

Lady's Thumb

This might be White Prairie Clover

Since Mom was going in for close-ups, I thought I would, too:

"Oooh!  Nice!"

Dad took both of our leashes for a bit, so Mom could get some pix of us looking at the camera.

We were more interested in the scenery!

Just when she was about to give up, Mom got this shot:

Me and Cam, soaking in all the beauty!

Mom took individual portraits at this point!  Here's a very happy, beautiful Cammie:

"I love going on family outings!"

And here I am:

"I love family adventures, too!"

On the way home, we stopped a few times - once for a water break, then up near the roundabout for a quick pose:

Cam, Dad, and me.  Dad's the tall one.

We also stopped in the shade by the Grand Mère Village sign and posed quite nicely:

Dad and us girls

Mom said these pix remind her of a photo she took of Dad with Lucky and Jesse, our great sisters, when they were in France.  (Click here to see.)

OK - one more shot, then let's get going!

Cam, Dad, and me

It was a great walk!  We hope you enjoyed coming with us and seeing all the beautiful things!!!  Have a wonderful Sunday.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Thatcher
