Blitz and I have seen a lot of country in our travels. This shot was taken at Lake Prairie in the Northern California Coast Range where the Douglas-fir forests intertwine with coastal prairies. This little lake has been a nice place to stop on the way home to cool off on a warm summer day.

One of Blitz’s favorite stop off places is Lake Prairie.

I’m so glad that the dogwood are in bloom at this time.
Blitz is such a beautiful animal and he lives in the grandeur of Nature; who has a better life?

Our dogwoods are finally in bloom, as are the redbuds. I am so glad that my red dogwood survived the winter. It has one 3/4 of a blossom that the snacking deer missed missed, but at least it lived. Bliss looks as though she took a swim. My brother’s golden loved the water and would jump in anywhere, anytime – with permission of course.

I’d never seen a dogwood before, though heard the name, so thanks for the fine photo, Blitz looks so contented, and why not? with such a lovely life and view, I would be.
