Soaking Up Some Sun!

To describe this summer as wet and cold is an understatement!  Mother Nature has been moody ... spring was very late ... one coastal storm after another was aimed directly at our remote corner of the planet!
Rain was constant and then ... on August 31st the skies cleared!  When the sun shines ... plans for the day are dropped ...
... and Nissa and I head outdoors!
We take long walks ... Nissa plays ...
... and I always bring a knitting project!
We seek out wide open spaces this time of year!
It is not uncommon for Nissa and I to find ourselves all alone on our adventures.  This is the time of year when bears are gorging on berries and salmon ... and the moose are busy breeding ... making both species especially dangerous.
I was standing on a sand dune when I took this photo ... considered making this our dillydally spot for the day ... and then I looked down at my feet!  Multiple bear tracks going in both directions!  Obviously, bears like this spot as well!
We moved on and traveled to the end of the road ... literally ... at 37 mile!  Gorgeous view and strong breeze that kept the biting bugs away!  A perfect dillydally day!
As autumn progresses ... the views change daily.  I enjoy noticing the transformation ... some subtle and others obvious!
Nissa loves playing Hide n' Seek!
My silly girl pup!
Although it has been warm and sunny ... autumn is a short season for us ... winter is coming!  Mitten weather is just around the corner!  Several pairs are in progress!
Nissa seemed to notice that this pair of mittens will match her fur coat!  She actually has great knitting manners and often likes to be closely involved in the process!  Love this goof ball!
When home, Flicka likes to soak up some sun as well!
Having a solid week of sunshine ... well ... it has been heavenly!

Do what you love!  Do dillydally!
