Finally got the dogs out for a much needed hike. It has been very hot lately even on the beach. Finding cool places to take the dogs is a challenge this time of year. I did manage to take a few shots and some of them even have blue in them!

#1 Look up!

Blue skies, willows and cat tails!

  Thank you Carol, not as blue as your blue one for sure. This was about two miles from the beach.

#3 Blue sky reflection. Happy Thursday’s Reflection..

The little water bugs were making rings on the surface and the blue sky really stands out.

Carol DM says:

#7 Meika

I made this one a black and white because her white on her neck was so blown out. She had just came from that dark hole behind her.

Carol DM says:

Beautiful in color and black and white.

  I noticed she is getting a little poofy. Might have to go on a diet.

#10 Luna

Luna was there as well, but was super busy chasing wabbits, and trying to keep track of the wolf.

Carol DM says:

August 22, 2019 at 5:15 pm

There she is, would love to meet Luna one day.

  Thank you Vidocka, it wasn’t a very exciting hike, it was too short. The dogs loved it though, lots of splashing.

Hiking – and dog pictures love them all Kim!!!!

Raven says that walks in the hot are not something she enjoys. But not walking is much worse!

  Thank you Doc. Raven’s a smart girl. You have to take care of those feet.
  Amazing how many people I see out jogging with their dogs in this 90 degree heat. Not good.

        Dylan and Raven both shade hop as well. We had to cut down to 1.6 miles in the hot weather.
        
        Yesterday was 68 when we went out!

  It has been so hot lately, and we had an green blue algae bloom in a lot of places around here. We have been hanging out at home more lately. They were happy to get out.

  I have been sort of afraid to take them to many places that are not flowing with the algae bloom, so weve been laying low. It’s been so hot as well. They were so happy to get out. Thank you.
