Okay, so maybe it's not the wind. But it is a pretty, colorful blanket that Ms. Biscuit is lounging on.

Underwater dogs by Seth Casteel

This week's pick are some awesome yet adorably funny images from photography Seth Casteel, one of which you can see above (the rest are here). The set includes underwater shots of dogs swimming, fetching and playing.

Take that Domino's!

My version of Domino's cinnamon sticks.
And they taste even better. :)

Celebrate!

My Dad's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Here are a couple of shots from his 'surprise' party.

He looks so thrilled.

Birds!

Spring is here. And so are the birds. My mockingbirds are in full dance display these days. Hopping from one bush to another flashing their wings and tails in their territorial dance claim. I've attempted to get pictures of them doing this dance, but they know I'm watching and do it far enough away from the house that my camera zoom just can't keep up. But I have gotten a couple of shots close by, and some lovely shots of my returning to nest bluebirds. If you were around last year, you'll remember these bluebirds had two nests, one in the spring and one in the summer so it will be exciting to see how they fare this year!

Tuesday's Top Pick

Mixing it up! This week I would like to mention something that some of you may not be aware of, RedditGifts, which is the worlds biggest gift exchange. I signed up for the Christmas gift exchange last year and I had a blast being paired up with a fellow redditor, reading about them and picking out a fun, unique gift to send to them for Christmas. And the person assigned to me got me some thoughtful gifts as well, such as a book series I had never read before and some frozen hot chocolate mix. I know, isn't that nifty? So right now you can sign up for Reddit's book exchange over here and I would encourage you to do so if you like doing good for others and connecting to those outside of your daily world.
