Saturday Selfie
Out for a walk the other day, the super-reflective wall of my neighborhood's "sports pavillion" caught my eye. It is almost a mirror, albeit one that needs a good cleaning. While I don't think I would ever post a phone selfie that provides that close-up of one's face at a funky angle, I don't mind the occasional odd reflective portrait.
These reflective windows are actually the walls of the huge indoor swimming pool. From the inside it is a clear view out. I bet the swimmers wondered what the heck I was taking a photo of!

A Jimmy-ism
It's always good to follow up Wilson's big day with something about Jimmy. This little guy is chock full of personality, charm, and amusing little quirks. However, it can be hard to catch on camera....
One such quirk happens just about every morning. When I get up, the boys of course follow me down stairs. Thus begins the wait for breakfast. A wise person once told me to never, ever feed dogs their breakfast as soon as you get up. If you do, you will create little monsters that will devise ingenious ways to wake you up earlier each day in hopes of speeding up the meal delivery. So my guys know they are going to wait through coffee being brewed, the kitchen tidied, computer time, etc., before there is any hope of breakfast.
To kill time, they watch out the back door for any trespassers. We have a veritable wildlife super-highway just beyond our fence. On any given morning it is quite likely to see deer, a fox, squirrels, rabbits, a groundhog, and most offensive of all, the neighbor's cat. If the boys aren't looking for critters, there's a chance they will doze a bit. This is where Jimmy's quirk comes in. He combines the dozing and the watching into one posture. He lies right up against the back door, and uses his nose to prop his head up while looking out the window. It reminds me of the way we humans rest our jaws in the palm of our hands in order to hold up our heads.
Here's Jimmy......
