JANUARY THAW ~~~ DOODLE SMILES



Here it is the middle of January in NOVA SCOTIA in WINTER
I bet you thought I'd be covered in snow and snorting snowflakes,
WRONGO!


I'm practicing wall walking ~~ without any ice!


Drinking from familiar haunts that are now flowing SPRINGS!


Catching up with the Dog Whisperer and friends!
(I'm in the middle with Mr. DW touching my face.
He always calls me over and I oblige)


Warm temps!
Bright bluebird skies!
Ice free walking!
and
Enjoying every minute with my guys!

2 WEEKS INTO 2014


It's been almost 2 weeks since the New Year started
and we've had every kind of weather
the weather person can throw at us,
from
 ~~~ the obvious SNOW ~~~ 
"full on can't see 2 feet in front of you" stuff to 


spitting squalls
blanketing the city
as we crossed the bridge to


RAIN 
~~ oh yes the wet stuff ~~
 moisture soaking your winter clothes to


sea mist rising along the shore's edge to


hard as cement ice surrounding our bench at the park to


frigid mornings letting us know that the air is so much colder than the water to


clouds emptying SNOW or RAIN at their whim to


trail after trail ready for trekking / snowshoeing / cross country skiing to 


watching for winter surfers masked by the spray of the waves to


 attempting road ice walking or scuffing whatever works to


waking up on a high hill to watch the barrage of waves pummel our beaches to 


finally getting some protective PURPLE BOOTIES 
because my toes started to freeze to


 watching the hustle & bustle beauty in the heart of the city
caused by lower temps to


 smelling the salt air
the crisp salt air to


hiding from the crisp salt air and Jim to


just knowing we can hop in our jalopy
and be at this spot in an instant
to refresh ourselves
and
just feel the wonder of our small spot on this planet.

ORBS


Something is going on with me in my world!?
I feel like I'm inside a snow globe,
sometimes a globe without snow.
Daddy Ron is having fun with his new found addiction
ORBS
I highly suspect there will be more 
photo editing 
in the next short while
because finding something brand new
just taps the ol' creativity button.
Here goes!!




Like my pink tongue!!!?



Bubbles !!!
They are everywhere!




Just fall into line and follow my tail!



Aliens are loose on the beach!
RUN FOR THE HILLS!

MARTINIQUE BEACH TREK


I love to visit Martinique Beach in the dead of winter no less.
Yes, it's cold, freezing, chilly but down-right exhilarating!
(I'm pretending to be a hieroglyph in this picture.
Do you think it works?)


 Da lum Da lum 
Da lum Da lum
this is my inner sound 
as I begin my gallop down the beach.



Now you know why I am so focussed
and why this beach rates super high on my list of faves.


After traversing a huge rock outcrop the smooth beach becomes evident
and that only means more Mr. Orangie chasing.
Hello, guys....um...could your hurry it up!?!


 Yes, now you believe me don't you.
Huge rock outcrop covered in frozen ice, salty ice I might add.
Treacherous I might hasten to point out!


But here is my Martinique Beach.
Oh yes, I do covet this place and if any one shows up
I make sure they obey the rules,
Mother Nature's rules.


Since we are the only warm blooded bodies
daring to walk the beach
I figure Mr. Orangie needs a work out.


First catch on the beach,
I circle around for more.


I do stretch out when I run
now you can see my luxurious chocolate coat
with blond accents.
(Thank you DNA)


Number 2 catch
floating in the air too!
(Imagine if we could fly)


Number 3 ~~ straight up!
Eye ~ Nose ~ Mr. Orangie


OK, enough play ~~ let's get down to some serious walking and sea glass searching.


This pebbled area is always a goldmine in sea glass.


I told you that they would find some glass.
I did hear them muttering about not finding any cobalt blue, red or orange today at all.


Oh well, each to their own as I always say.
It takes all kinds to make our beautiful world go 'round 
and whether it be humans seeking for pieces of broken glass
or me staring down Mr. Orangie ~~
Life is Good!!

SURPRISE!


Here's my SURPRISE 
I was talking about!

A 3 month old Miniature Poodle
full of beans and Poodle Poop!

Ha Ha Ha!

We had a sniffing ball of fun
leaning on Ron
and
tearing around all the peeps.


The things one has to put up with
when one is so much fun, I guess!

CLEAR AND EVER PRESENT !!


Do you see what I'm alluding to?
It's ever present!
It's upright!
It's ~~~


my tail!


Everyone can see me coming a mile a way!


Even when I feel like making SPEED
when someone is taking pictures of me
or not of me!


Cold freezing winter doesn't bother me in the least.
I'll flip over with my 4 legs to the heavens
and scratch my Doodle Back until the cows come home.


Whenever Jim decides to take pictures
I finish up my back scratches ~~~


and fall in beside him 
following him onto the next surprise!
~~~
You'll see on my next post!
