A Day at the Park

Thank you, my friends, for a nice welcome back to Goldens and Garden.  It's good to know there are still a few who enjoy visiting, and I appreciate every one of your comments.  I replied to one email response that I like having this place as an online scrapbook of sorts as it's so easy to browse through and see the history, remember good times, and be reminded of the beauty around me.  Since some like to see the dogs and garden on my stamping blog, too, I'll probably mix it up a bit  I sure hope you'll come along when you can.  So, let's get going, shall we?

For a change of pace my friend and I had a picnic lunch at one of our city parks.  No wet dogs.  Just us girls.  I'd be hard pressed to explain to Wally and LuLu why they couldn't jump in the pond...




... or interact with the wildlife.



We had a beautiful walk on a beautiful day.




Just look at this poor little sad-sack LuLu who got left behind:


Poor baby.  Next time, LuLu.  I promise.  Have a happy day and come back soon, won't you?

  1. Wow ! Your parks are certainly more beautiful than any we have around here ! I love the pictures you take as I will probably never get to your neck of the woods and this is like a mini vacation for me . I'm glad you decided to keep this blog and still share pictures on both . There can never be too many pictures of our beautiful fur babies .

  5. That looks to be a wonderful place to wander and sit to chat and take in the beauty of nature. I couldn't help but picture in my mind Wally and Lulu sitting oh so pretty in the middle of the lily pads. :) Thank you for sharing your time in the park. It was a delightful interlude.

  6. Oh Leslie, I must tell you, that your photos are gorgeous as always. I was taking in all the beauty and serenity....until I laughed out LOUD at poor Lulu! What a look on her face! I can't stop laughing at her...and if I was there, I'd be doing what I'm sure you do. Kiss her face all over! What a cutie pie.

  11. Look at that sweet face! I'm glad you had a day with friends, Leslie. We all need that at times, but as women, I think we need it more often. And to walk in a garden with a friend -- it rejuvenates the spirit and the soul.

  13. What a lovely park. The fountain looks so refreshing and the pretty water lilies are delightful. I must say that last shot of Lulu made me laugh, she does look pretty down and out about not being able to go with you.

  14. Oh sweet Lulu, she looks so sad! I must of missed these last 2 posts somehow. I"m so glad you decided to continue with this site as well. I love when you post pictures of your babies - Wally & Lulu. They always make me smile. Fabulous pictures above. Your parks are gorgeous. We have nothing around here in our town, we need to go to the big cities to see beauty like this. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures, looks like you had such a wonderful day!
