Dawn
Wet dog at dawn
Jake and I went out at daybreak to open the irrigation gate. While I was cleaning out the ditches as the water flowed in, Jake got all wet romping around in the cool early morning wetness. There was enough rain up north over the past week to raise the water level in the river enough to irrigate.
Sunflower: “Jake! You are such a silly dog!’
Ducks in the mist
After I got all the leaves out of the ditches, Jake and I went on a walk to the river and saw ducks in the mist.

Jake was worn out after romping around, getting all wet, and watering all the tumbleweeds on the way to and from the river.

Very nice
Thanks, Vermavkv.
Love the soft pastel dusk and tired Jake images.
Thanks, Brad.
Jake did well. The ducks in the mist are lovely.
Thanks, Shey.
You picture are gorgeous
Thanks, Robbie.
“Wet Dog at Dawn” would make a great title for a novel, short story, or poem!
If you are inspired, go for it. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim! I did save the line for cento poem potential.
Love the moody mists and all the photos Timothy.
Thanks, Cindy.
Beautiful. Love misty photographs and cats, of course. Jake truly looks worn out from splashing around. 🙂
Jake has bursts of energy, and then he’s out for the count. Thanks, Gigi.
Sometimes I’m like that too. LOL
I have to admit, me too.
Thanks for sharing your lovely photos with us Tim, it’s good to transport to another world every now and then!
You are welcome, Tiffany. I’m happy you could enjoy a little bit of our world.
Awwww……. okay I love ducks in the mist but then Jake and sweet Marble and roses and sunset and ahhhhh Timlandia perfection!
Thanks, Marina. Jake had a great time.
what a lovely post. Jake looks so happy and exhausted is good. The flower with the one bent petal is so cool and the mist with the ducks too! 🙌🏽
Thanks, Cindy. Jake works hard, plays hard, and pees hard. He leads a hard doggy life.
He would have a blast with Duke!!’
There is a yellow lab named Duke that played with Jake once the first time they met. Then Duke decided he hates Jake.
A beautiful selection of photos, Tim. Jake’s wet fur looks almost pinkish there. The kitties look very comfortable, and I love the roses on the dark backgrounds. The sunlight through the bamboo is an excellent composition.
Thanks, Lavinia. Jake’s color is interesting when you can see a little of his undercoat under the wet topcoat.
Ducks in the mist…..magic!
They are magic. Thanks, Geoff.
Aww, Marble and Laurie. I can hardly wait to cuddle Misha like that.
Lots of great shots-beautiful roses, duck mist and Jake the exhausted.
The colours in the last shot with my tree are an oil painting. Thank you!xx
Marble is a super cuddly kitty. We cannot cuddle with G&G at all. The other cats are on and off about snuggling on our laps and stay a fraction of the time of Marble. Thanks, Resa.
Jeep was super cuddly.
Misha… bossy – maybe I let you pet me type..so far!
Typical cat behavior.
Fabulous collection of photos Tim!
Thanks, Julie.
