BRIEF REPREIVE


High on the hill 
(my favourite spot in the whole Doodle World)
I search for the never-ending answer.
To what?
You may ask.


Well, solitude for one thing
a singular moment in time.
Peace for all of you and the world
yes the entire world.


The snows are beginning to paint out landscape.
You can see my cherry tree buoying the soft white flakes
so precariously yet firmly.
These singular flakes come together
making a strong union
of beauty and strength.
We are like the snowflakes ~~~

(enjoy a moment of Gordon Lightfoot's - Song For A Winter's Night)

BODY SURFING DOODLE


The fog has rolled in covering my world,
but that doesn't stop me 
and 
never will.


I am at my favourite beach below MacDonald House.
It's too early for the family folk to show up 
with their kids and kites and such ~



so I save Mr. Orangie from a fate worse than death.


See how good I am at rescuing!!


Time to save Mr. Orangie again!
I always have my priorities straight!

HAPPY CANADA DAY #148 !!


Refreshing moment on the way home the other day
sitting 
soaking up the view ~~ 


 the waves crashing on the rocks
a perfect east coast example
of my Canada!


lost in the fields
inhaling the sweet smells of new grasses
a fine abundant amount this year ~~


short and sweet 
is my message today
~~~
We all wish you a Happy Canada Day
where ever you live in this blog world of ours!!

NO WAVE STOPS ME!!


Peak-A-Boo!
I do see you!
Do you see me?


FULL FACE w/Mr. Orangie wave slide!


FULL BODY slam into the wave ~~


and completely OVER!


No wave stops me !


I know my waves like the back of my PAW!


HEAD'S UP and slice through the BUBBLES!!


Leaving my TAIL to finish off the fetching session.


This WALL of WHITE doesn't phase me in the least.
I survey it and ~~~


over I go!


Such is my JOY in the MORNING,
 with a flip of the TAIL
a gallop of confidence!
~~~
I have finished off my exercise and swim for the day.

CRYSTAL CRESCENT BEACH ~ WHITE SAND PARADISE


I've heard the guys talking about this provincial beach 
they used to go to many years ago
that had three connecting whites beaches
crystal blue waters
trails to follow along the coast
rocks to scale
blueberries in the rolling hills
and 
plenty of space to find your own spot and just veg out.


Well, my doddies, look at my HAPPY FACE!
I am over the rainbow in such 
DOODLE SURPRISE MODE
GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR MODE
TEARING ALL AROUND THE BEACH MODE
 CAN'T HEAR ANYBODY TRYING TO REIGN ME IN MODE!
 I just can't stop!
(the fog bank kept a coolness in the air 
so the guys dressed accordingly,
I already had my coat on!)


Mr.Orangie stands out like a beacon
when I charge into the clear, salty, pristine waters.


A little bit of DOODLE BODY SURFING
makes the return quick and easy.


MONSTER WATER BEARDS
come slapping along with me from the depths.



 After plenty of fetching along the rock free beach area of 2nd Beach
we stopped to take a breather and soak up some sun in this spot.
No way was I about to relax
because when you find paradise.............!
well, you fill in the blank _____!

WINTER HAS ARRIVED


The cold winter winds have been blowing over our world for a while now
but today I found out just how cold it was.
While they caught up with all their blogging, facebooking, photo editing and 
whatever social media that grabs their attention.
I 'zenned out' on my huge mammoth squeak toy
shaped like a giant marshmallow.
I then began staring at the guys
which means in Doodle language
"it's time to vacate the premises
and
go get some exercise".
Well, it took the usual amount of time to get ready
after the guys put on all their layers
and
I put on my PURPLE JACKET.

The roads were super icy 
and 
Daddy Jim said he had everything under control
~ not to worry.

We made it there safely 
open the doors to brave the winds.
It was so cold,
a damp cold,
that chills the bones.


We began walking being vigilant of snow covered ice.
Heading for the beach to check out the waves as usual ~~


we noticed some odd snow covered grass.
The usual thin blades were clumped together with very thick snow.


Following the path along the dunes was the icing on the cake
so bitter the north winds 
that we immediately headed back to the car.


Then it happened my front right paw froze.
A quick defrost moment and a marathon run to the car.
"Hurry let's go"
was all I heard.


Phew, that was a close one.
PURPLE BOOTIES next time 
winter's unrelenting cold has arrived!!!

BEACH HEARTS ~~ REALLY !!


Follow me !!
The boardwalk leads over the grassy dunes
(to protect them from being destroyed by
4 leggeds and 2 leggeds)
and 
when you reach the other side, well ~


you will find whatever your heart desires
(in the lower right corner is one, 
not quite fully formed but close)


This is what I'm talking about !!
HEARTS on the beach.
They are there, 
you just have to be patient and imaginative.


Crashing waves 
constantly pummelling the rocks
grind them down 
over and over again ~


producing gems like these
waiting to be picked up
or to be photographed.


 The pounding surf is relentless
no wonder the shoreline changes constantly
season after season after season after season ~


but then without warning
you will fall upon something like this
sitting on the sand
as if it was meant to be
to be seen by myself
or you.


This is why I love to go to the beach.
Our beach has so much action somedays
and calm and serene on others.
Finding these
BEACH HEARTS
is like putting frosting on the cake.

STRONG WINDS


Strong south west winds have been pummeling the province all day
which means the para-surfers are in heaven.


Far below MacDonald House,


 as these two onlookers had been veiwing


you'll find Jim clicking like crazy


for the latte sea 
caused by
the super fine salt sea mist, 
relentless winds 
and 
pending sunset


keep my ears and toes alert
ready for a fast dash to the car


(this will give you an idea ~ apologies for the wind sound)


Such is my life after a rain and wind storm 
which dropped a month's worth of rain ~
almost like a hit and run!
Like in "Straight Up"
sung by Paula Abdul.


couldn't resist this connection folks!!!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR ~~ SUPER FAST

This weekend,
this last weekend in February
which normally is fr-fr-fr-freezing cold to the nth degree in Nova Scotia
was absolutely grand
it absolutely put a spring (pun intended) in my step
I trotted off into the park with Jim
while Ron hugged the shore path
(which is a non-doggy area after 10 a.m.
so I couldn't take his path)
I sniffed the grassy trails
and left a few calling cards like all the other doggy's 'do do'!
LOL
(Psst ~ lots of 'do do' doggy pooper scooper picker uppers everywhere
Keeping the park clean is my mantra)

The birds, oh yes even the birds could feel SPRING in the air.


I just know with paws crossed that SPRING
is descending upon us super fast this year.
SUPER FAST


See the flowers are in bloom in this window!
This is a sign I just know I'm right!
