OH! THE PLACES WE HAVE BEEN

This is the first of a few posts looking back at the mountains, woods and alpine meadows where Starlet and I have traipsed in our brief two and a half years together. Consider it a celebration of a sweet and adventurous little beagle who is not likely to be with us much longer.

Be patient, all will be revealed.
This moment on the eastern side of Wallowa Lake outside Joseph, Or. was captured one fine day last June by my friend Troy Nave (bottom of link page). That was the first time Troy and his buoyant wife Dana (nickname Tigger) took me hiking in their wilderness, and where I first saw a native clematis anywhere in the world. This was also a trip where Starlet did some of her best posing, often looking as if nothing pleased her more than to roam in the great wild. This of course is preposterous because the only thing that pleases and motivates my Starry is being one moment closer to her next meal.
