61/365 prized possesion

I had absolutely no ideas today so I decided to take a walk after lunch. I went to the pond that's about 3 blocks from my house. I saw some ducks, geese and a turtle family. They all went in the opposite direction as soon as I started towards them {Do I smell or something??}. There were some pretty buds and flowers but with the sun directly overhead, I didn't have much luck getting good shots of them. So I came home and did some laundry. And that's when I saw them. Alex's (golden retriever) prized possessions. We have 3 in the house and at least 2 outside. He sleeps with them and makes a game out of pushing them under the recliner and getting them back out again. The only way I can get him to sit still for a picture is to hold one underneath the camera.
