Casey, that is SO clever! Ron, I love the color of that calla. This is not as clear as I'd have liked, but I was still tickled to get it.

Thanks, Jasdip! My daughter Jill found Angel when she was a puppy, hit (but not badly injured) on the side of the road. I thought she was a collie-shepherd, but she outgrew that look in a hurry! When Angel was young, a Briard breeder told me she thought we had a purebred. And Angel's personality confirmed that. But at 16, she has outlived the Briard life expectancy by four or five years. So I think she must have some hybrid vigor.

You know, with all the stunning scenery right here in North America, I see no need or have no desire to travel to Mexico, Jamaica etc. There's so much to see and do right here. With all the uproar in Mexico, I'm sure to stay away from there now! Fantastic pics as usual! Vetaal, your pictures are all breath-taking. Thanks for your contributions!
