Beautiful Tree

My Grandmother was an artist and I loved when she would give me art lessons.  She loved old buildings and crooked trees.  She said they were far more interesting than the perfect ones.  Now I can’t help but look for crooked trees and old buildings.  lol.  Anyways, this tree is some sort of a pine tree.  It died from the Pine Beetle.  Alberta has been having a horrible time with them.  It is sad that it killed this tree but the flip side is that it exposed the beautifully interesting branches!

My Westie

My sweet Fiona is one of the lights of my life!!  She is full of character and so much fun.  I love this little girl, she always makes me smile!  Today we watched the National Dog Show and she was most entertained.  I think she figures she could do it too.  tee hee
