Bear With Me as This is Not a Bumblebee (114/365)

Posted by Ellie

Are you confused? Of course it's not a bumblebee, I would not try to deceive you. But it should have been a bumblebee. At least it should have been a photograph of a fat yellow bumblebee on a beautiful blue periwinkle flower. I spent long enough hovering over the flowers and aiming my camera at those busy bees to have come up with lots of photos, not just one for the project. But I couldn't get one of them to be still enough (and on top of the flower or at least out from under the leaves) long enough to click the shutter.  So I have no photograph of a bumblebee. Can I ask you to imagine that lovely image? Thank you for humouring me.

Now, can you guess what it is?

I do have a dog who stays focused on a Frisbee in Steven's hand, waiting for it to be thrown, so no prizes for guessing that I do have a picture of that. Sorry about the lack of bumblebee.  Enjoy yet another this picture of Joni! It looked better in monochrome than in colour, this time. She is, after all, black and white!

Aria (97/365)

Posted by Ellie

Last year, when old Joni was out walking with Steven, they saw a young border collie pup coming along the path toward them. Joni was absolutely terrified at this sight, for some strange reason. It was almost as if she thought she was looking at herself in the past, as a young pup. Eventually, the next few times they met, she gradually tolerated having this pup come near her, though she pretty much ignored her.

Now this is Aria, almost a year old. And she and our young Joni are already great friends. These two border collies tear around like lunatics together, Aria wanting sticks thrown for her (as here) and Joni trying to herd Aria. It's one sure way for two young dogs to burn off some energy.

Sometimes a Dog Just Needs to Run in the Woods (96/365)

Posted by Ellie

The day this was taken, Joni and I were out inspecting damage done to the woods by the many winter storms we had this year. Joni wasn't too bothered by the fallen branches as she just loves to jump over any obstacles and to grab sticks to chew for a few minutes. There were a lot of broken branches and some were the size of small trees. Some had fallen on the apple trees, breaking branches as they fell. There is a lot of clearing up to do.

She will soon be 5 months old as I write this, but this was taken on April 16, so over a week ago now.

Joni Looking Almost Grown Up – 84/365

Posted by Ellie

Last Friday Joni had been out for a while and I went to find her. It was a lovely day, sunny but cold. As I came around the corner of the house, I saw her standing in a spot that our old Joni liked, just beside the poplar trees. She looked at me, and as she stood there, she had the look of a grown dog. In fact it could almost have been our old friend. She just stood and looked at me like this for a while and I just enjoyed the moment. She is growing up fast now.
