On Trail With Nibi Mocs

We had a break in a rainy weather pattern, plus it warmed up a bit for Mother’s Day this year. Mostly sunny skies with temps around 60°F. We decided to visit Whitewater State Park. This was our first time back after the floods of 2007 and, I’m happy to say, the park has recovered well.

Here are some photos from our visit…

The Whitewater River close to the swimming beach.

Some rapids along the Whitewater River. We could get close to the river here and all 3 dogs plunged in. Sam and Pip wanted to drink. Rosie wanted to play.

Another view of the river — a calmer stretch.

The bridge and dam just below the swimming area.

Still damp after her swim, a very grubby Rosie posed for the camera.

Another view of the bridge and dam.

There were lots of wildflowers out. I managed to frame the dam and bridge with some of them.

This morning, the boys were outside but Rosie decided it was too cold and opted for sitting on the back of the couch, looking out the window. We had a brief look at the sun this morning and she was back and side lit. I just had to get out the camera. She’s not the most cooperative model but she has her moments.

I still can’t believe she went for 12 weeks at the kennels with no one picking her. How could anyone resist? I sure couldn’t!

Hey Sailor! Why don’t you come up to my place sometime?

Rosie will be 4 months old next week.

My wife says she’s a flirt. What do you think?

Oh, btw… how much is that doggie in the window? You couldn’t possibly pay me enough to part with her!
