Mac in Mississippi

Mac'N'Roe · 03-28-2009, 11:09 PM

I'm visiting home in Mississippi and enjoying the springtime azaleas blooming. I brought Mac with me on the trip and got some good pictures yesterday. Thought I'd share! He's been GREAT and we've had a great time going everywhere and meeting a lot of people and dogs. These pictures are just from my backyard...but I hope you enjoy.

The backyard

Mac getting a short time off leash in the backyard. Unfortunately, its not fenced and we are on a main road in the front. Too dangerous for my blood. He did REALLY well with recall (which I worked on), but neighbors coming home and letting their dog out caused a little ruckus (he recalled perfectly..but scared me).

oop..its wet down here

a pretty azalea..

There were a bunch of bees flying around my head when I was taking this picture. Mac was looking at the bees...

*just a couple moer*

I love these three. I hope to get some more tomorrow!

And, finally. Mac sitting by my favorite azalea...looking over the yard and taking in all its beauty

Thanks for looking. I'll have to take Roe somewhere soon!

The pic of your dad sitting with Mac next to him needs to be framed. That's a great shot!

Thanks! This is the yard I grew up in, and grew up helping dad plant a lot of the plants that are huge now. Its great to see in the spring. Mac has had a BALL here.

Thanks Mudra. I've learned just to use the "AUTO" on the camera...I haven't learned how to really tap into all it can do. The wonderful scenery makes for good pictures though.

My dad has the greenest thumb ever. He propogated all the azaleas you see from the "mother bushes" in the front of the house. This was a huge part of my growing up, workin in the yard with my dad. The yard looks great now, its taken several years for him to recover from Katrina...lots of work for just one (older) man.

We have had a great weekend...and everytime I come home....it makes me wonder why I left. The backyard is a sanctuary...I LOVE the backyard. Too bad I have to go home today.

Yep, definitely one of my favorites! Thanks!

Wow, everything is so pretty! Mac is such a gorgeous boy. Also, Bentley gives him props for good style

(He has the same collar as Mac!)

Inga · 03-30-2009, 05:11 PM

Beautiful! Love the flowers. Heck, the green is so nice too. It snowed here yesterday. Mac seems to have enjoyed the extra loving with his new buddy.

Looks wonderful, MnR! Mac's brindle is almost like camouflage when he's amongst the brush!

bnwalker2 · 03-30-2009, 07:43 PM

I KNOW. At home, my yard is just dirt...so you can't see him that much in pictures. I was excited to have some pretty flowers to set him up against...for some contrast.

Mac looks beautiful amongst the azelea backdrop. There is nothing more pretty than to drive the country roads here to see the azeleas blooming like crazy. Like a crayola box exploded.
