It's Amazing Out There

Well, hello!  It's about time for an update of Goldens and Garden.  We had Wally and LuLu out at the sand dunes last Wednesday.  The particular spot we frequent allows no motorized vehicles, so it's a perfect paradise for the likes of us.  I'm always a little surprised that we have the entire massive area to ourselves when we go.  What a great place it would be to take your kids!  Where are they?

The landscape out there is amazing this year.  There's water everywhere...

And Wally and LuLu do love the water.

 

Everywhere you look -- more water...

And dunes, of course...

And wildflowers -- Lupine, compact, but thriving in the sand...

Scotch Broom, struggling to survive underwater...

Some spots are shallow...

But most are deep enough for a good swim.  Here's Wally enjoying the moment:

Just a couple more pics...  Wooly LuLu:

And long and lean Wally with The World's Best Dog Dad (who had just sneaked him a treat.):

We trekked miles and miles out there and had two exhausted puppies when we returned home, but what a good time we had.  Such a great place for Golden Retrievers and anyone who marvels over nature.  Hope you enjoyed!  Have yourself a happy week!
