There is nothing gentler, braver, nor kinder than a big dog to hug. Unfortunately, my building doesn't allow them so I make sure that I pet every one that passes. Only the big ones, though, the little ones are hyper, they snap, jump & squawk. Not for me!

All the best to all my friends for a Happy New Year........ Lilia

Thank you Gip.
I enjoy living in the northwest but when it rains, it can rain for days on end.
The ducks love it.

I recognized the hound and the situation. Trapped inside with the need to photograph something. I like the effect of the rain on the window.
