Hiking at Murphy's place

Murph and I took a hike around the pond at Summit Park that I call Murphy's Place.  He loves to explore there, grass, sagebrush, wetlands and forest.  After a hike, he runs to the pond and gets wet, and will play with other dogs there if they are playing. Yesterday he played with a young lab, who, when Murph left, came after him with a stick in his mouth and banged Murphy on the head with it inviting him to play some more!
Murphy stops and waits for me, with such patience in his brown eyes! Never criticism spoken, but sometimes felt when I am going particularly slow, like up a slope. Nevertheless, he always waits for me.



This yellow songbird posed with an intriguing array of lines.
