Animal Wednesday with Robin


What a wonderful week Robin and I spent together getting to know one another in person. She was a delightful guest! I just took her to the airport where she'll be getting back to her life in San Francisco. Just like when Marianne left, I miss her already.


Here I am photographing her photographing a seagull!
She was fascinated by everything here, even the ordinary.
This photo was taken at Colt State Park in Bristol.


We strolled through the gardens and arboretum at Blithewold and I discovered a pond which I had never seen before. It was fun sharing something new with her.
These koi were coy! They just wanted to stay beneath the surface although the sun was calling them.


We had a wonderful lunch here in Newport.
Most of the shops have water and treats for doggies that pass by!




Lions and griffons on my favorite planter at Blithewold.


And this sweet little Viceroy we saw on the Cliff Walk.


And here's the gang at Coggeshall Farm. One burro, one horse, and an entire family of heirloom cattle. They are massive and gorgeous!


Lilac Robin is scouting for more wildlife.




Looking for shells...


The adventurer!


Marco!!! Polo!!!!! Marco??? Lolo????


And so she continues to sleuth along the water's edge.
I'm told she loves it here.
I'm sure she'll be back ;)

  2. I thought you knew each other from living in CA as you are so close. Looks like a fun time was had by all. Thanks for sharing the visit. Sure went fast. Great photos. I am back to not being able to comment on some blogs again. This time it gives me no options. Big sigh.

  3. absolutely fabulous photo of Robin. The first one, close up. Looks like you had much good weather and times. My friend who used to live in Bristol wandered the rocks like that and came home through the years with huge VATS of gorgeous sea glass.

    Got an email and the application from Betsy Green but need to phone her and explain my finances (no income for example) and see if it is worth applying. Sight unseen. thanks for the tip and viewing.

  9. a beautiful wonderful first photo of wrobin!

    what a great tribute to a great visit. isn't it something else to forge and solidify relationships that begin with words and colors and computer keys and become deep and abiding frienships?

    there are more photos, yes? i even have a few myself. :^)

    good friends deserve good friends. this post affirms that. yay for you, yay for wrobin!
