Our dog Lacy is one of the quietest dogs I’ve owned. She will bark at an occasional delivery person or another dog that comes too close to our yard; if not for those times we would sometimes forget we had a dog. She also has a quiet way of letting us know when she needs to go outside. She leaps at the back door and she is a high leaper.

A bumblebee doing what he does best, pollinating our cone flowers. I spotted him from our front door, grabbed my camera and headed outside to find out which way he went. Because my bee dialect is very rusty, he would not stay still when I asked. But after a few minutes of chasing him from flower to flower I was able to make this photo. I love the colors and the details in the photograph.
