I got to pat the Poodle!!!

 I saw the nice lady and her poodle today. Prince. He was princely!

And since I'm allergic, I had heard that poodles are hypo-allergenic. She said her dog was part Lab, they thought. Hmmmm.. I wasn't sure if the Lab part would make me sneeze or turn red. But neither happened! I was able to pat him a couple of times. He was bored, but I was excited.

Prince is a standard poodle, so larger than others you might see. Very  nice dog. And good to know I can pat 'em! Now, mind you, I can't have a dog right now because of our rental rules, but good to know I could possibly one day have a dog. Well, that would need to be a discussion between me and my sweetheart! (And not a deal breaker.)

Christmas Llama

Rose and Hibiscus

Orchid

Early in the morning, I often get to catch the flowers after they've been watered.

Saffron Finch posing prettily!

Sunrise clouds. Darn buildings get in the way!

Kolea. I call them the Tippy Toe birds...that's how they walk away...brrrt! then stop. Repeat.

As Jamie Oliver would say: "C'mon!!!" So pretty.

I enjoy manger scenes, even if they are plastic.

Clouds with sunrise pink.

I have a hard time catching these in one photo..the pink part is so tall!

Yellow cactus

This kitty was very friendly, but I wasn't able to pat him. He seemed surprised.

Cobblestones for Lisa!

God's rays

How often are we able to see a purple Rhino? Especially with a scarf. Must be French.

I have walked past this yard many times before, but missed how many plants there are!

The Saffron Finch flew up and away.

Succulents have so many varieties!

Enjoy your holiday. I may post again...birthday next week!
