Yesterday the weather was real nice, so I decided to take some photos during my afternoon walk with Mike. Not that that's something unusual

So beforehand some warnings!

First! LOTS of photos ahead!
Second! LOTS of crap quality photos ahead! So my apologies, my cellphone camera is all I've got at the moment. Still, I think I've made some fairly pretty shots

First, I'll introduce you to the subject of my attention, Mike:

As you will all come to understand while watching the next couple of photographs, Mike loves sticks. Big sticks. And preferably, he wants to drag them all home. Unfortunately, not all sticks are willing to cooperate with him, which drives him nuts sometimes. One such occasion was yesterday afternoon

Finding 'a' stick...

Walking around with the pretty big stick...

After realizing it was a bit... too much stick... to carry around, he assessed it by walking around, pondering his next actions.

Trying to pick it up again...

Getting frustrated with the stick...

Realizing it's really not going to work...

Going for a stroll, looking for something else to do...

Finding ANOTHER stick that's a little more manageable!

Sitting down for some mandatory have-to-sit-still pictures...

Having forgotten all about the previous stick, sets out to explore...

Running through flowers...

Mandatory lying-still-for-picture time...

Finding ANOTHER stick! Running around while gloating...

Insisting that the stick be dragged home...

BLOOPERS

Stupid face:

TOO MUCH WHITE:

My camera's WEIRD perspective of the world...

For some reason, my camera does not differentiate between foreground (am I wording that right?) and background.
