july

Since some of you still want to know what I am up to, I feel obliged to say hello now and again.
So, I must say, July is a really nice month here in the Pacific Northwest. Having just completed my first year of life, I wasn't sure whether the sun liked us in Seattle. Perhaps, I thought, we did something to tick her off awhile back and she was just holding a grudge? But no, she has shown big and bright nearly all month long and it is wonderful!

It has allowed me to explore several of the various wading pools scattered around the city and a few of the beaches along Lake Washington and the Puget Sound:



I have savored some of the season's best fruits and berries:


Of course, I still make time to visit with friends. This is Cooper and I enjoying a leisurely lunch.


There are many festivals and street fairs to take part in. Here I am showing Miss Hispanic Seafair a good time:




But, I truly enjoy most being in a quiet park with a ball and my cap on those lazy summer afternoons. I hope you are having just as good a summer wherever you are as I am here :)


Can you find the bullfrog in this picture?



And a walk in the park:
