there are a few undiscovered places in this town - where you can go to relax. to enjoy quiet - to enjoy time alone...

To enjoy a wild - furry - water loving, stick retrieving labrador. who does the most ridiculous things... like shake.

And shake some more...

and leap.


yup, she's got mad ups...


did i mention she leaps?

and then you look around - and realize everything is still. the world is still. new growth awaits. splashes turn to calm.

life is too short - too much intensity and it passes you by. find beauty in details. sometimes - solace comes in quiet solitude. and finally you can let everything else go - and appreciate the moment - for what it is - there and now.
