up the alley, down the street

{linking up: growing in him photo contest}

I would like to introduce you to some of my neighborhood friends. Lucky the beagle, Puggy the...(yep, you guessed it.) pug, and sol the live wire. I think she must be at least part russel terrier, because she never stops moving. Yep, these are the neighbor's dogs. We've watched them a couple of times, and become great pals. Unfortunately our dog doesn't agree.

 

 

 

Recently I've gotten into the habit of taking an evening walk around the neighborhood with my family. Actually it's kind of a tradition. I remember taking family walks in the evenings years ago. Then it was my dad that carried the camera, and an eight-year-old me that ran ahead, picked wildflowers and climbed trees along the way. We've moved several times since then, but we've carried on the tradition wherever we go. Now I carry the same camera that we used back then, but I haven't changed much. Sunsets still leave me breathless, and I still pick wildflowers to take home. It's really great to think that wherever I am, I can still go and watch the sunset every evening and be reminded of all the memories that go along with it. 

Do you have any family traditions that you love?
