It's sooooo cold and snowy. I was looking at some summer pictures and they warmed me up.

Thought I'd share. Please post some of your warm pictures,too.

Swimming at the beach last 4th of July. The dogs were swimming with my nephew.

Some more water fun out at the lake near where I live.

Belle posing in my mom's backyard.

And last, but not least, the azaleas in bloom in my backyard.  No dogs, but definitely a spring picture.

Actually another photo of Belle got painted by Bob Bertram.  He does gorgeous sporting dog oils.

Here is the photo he painted:

And here is a picture of the oil that he did from this photo.

This oil hangs in my home today.  I am trying to get him to do head study of my girl Halo and eventually a field painting with my boy Ringo.  Just got to get the right pictures.

We hardly ever get snow and I enjoyed what we had this weekend, but yeah, summer, can't wait!

Does May count? The ground was so alive:

Memorial Day weekend - let the fun begin:

Dieter was such a small boy in the summer...as you can tell by the dogs tounges in the first pic it was very warm. around 35 Celsius that day
