Spring Sniff-fest


After a couple really miserable days of cold downpours the sun has broken through and it has been beautiful here in Western Washington. The cherry blossoms, daffodils and early tulips are blooming, leaves are budding out, and it smells beautiful - that indescribable smell of spring.

The dogs have been oh-so-happy that they don't have to go out and do their business in the rain. I've been letting them out more often and there have been some great romps in the back yard, but mostly there has been sniffing.

I took the camera out thinking I could get some good pictures with the warm sunlight, but it was not to be. I couldn't get the dogs to look up from their sniffing long enough to get a good shot. Something about the rock path was especially enticing and they spent lots of time turning the rocks with their snouts sniffing at whatever might be underneath.
In this photo you see the backs of the girls, Tilly, Sally and Abby, sniffing their way along the path.
