Walking in the Country with Boy and Dogs

Middle son came home a few weekends ago. 
 I had a rare Sunday afternoon free of work or other obligations... 



...so of course we took a long walk with the puppies (and my camera.)


Doesn't this look like an oasis?


Robins and yellow flowers...



...spring must be just around the corner! 




Daniel took me on a path I'd never walked before and showed me these huge vines.
Amazing!


I spotted the hole in that tree and took this shot with my zoom to get a closer look. 

It reminds me of, ahem, certain body parts. Am I the only one? 
It kind of goes along with the tree in this post, doesn't it?.



Does anyone know what these little pom-poms are? I love them. 
It's like the tree is having a party.

Daniel, the sweet and kind and funny...and all grown-up.

Sigh.

P.S. Many thanks to Hilary at The Smitten Image for bestowing a Post of the Week on this post and this post of mine! Two in one week! You can only imagine how big my head is right now! Be sure to visit Hilary, see her beautiful photography, and read the other Posts of the Week.

  2. Barbara, you always make me smile! I bet you had a blast visiting with your son. Great macros of the twisted vines. And the tree ... well, I do see things in things ... but I actually saw, um, maybe a pelican's eyes/face as he's looking down to the ground. You pom-pom tree is cute ... love the "tree party." It's so good to see you at Walk and Click Wednesdays!!

  4. I enjoyed your walk, too. Love those twisted vines and, of course, if there is a dog anywhere I'm happy.
