No, not as in Dog-Speak but TREE BARK.
The wonderful friends I house and dog sit for live in such a lovely area. I spend a lot of my dog-walking time making my buddy Doogan sit and wait while I snap photos with my little old phone (Samsung Galaxy S4). But at this time of year I was just sure there wouldn’t be a single thing to capture…No flowers, no green, gray skies, etc.
I should have known better. I guess I wasn’t connecting with my Dad as much as I usually do when out in Nature. He would remind me that there is beauty in every single square inch of the world. You just have to look for it.
But Doogan pointed out what I was missing…by peeing on it!
What amazing variety, and it started me on a whole train of deep philosophical thought about beauty and skin and outer covering and image and, and, and…
Thanks Doogan! BARK!
Woof! Thank Doogan for the reminder of how beautiful ‘ordinary’ things can be! And he may have been simply leaving a ‘pee-mail’ for the next dog that comes along…I think they have a whole secret language that way…as gross as it might seem to humans. Happy Holidays to you!
Same to you. Thanks for your response.
It is amazing what we find if we keep an open mind.
Great texture. Time to get out the pencil and paper?
