Cervelo discovers the art of salmon berry picking...

Once introduced to salmon berries it did not take long before Cervelo was independently picking his own berries. He seemed to be able to hone in on the berries either by smell or sight

Foxgloves blooming and weims moving.......

My attempt at trying to get the weims to pose in front of the foxgloves which were plentiful at this time the picture was taken. There were blue and white foxgloves both sides of the trail which I tried to get the weims with a flower background. As you can see, not too successful. Lots of rear shots though.

Cervelo with a funny expression on his face. Not sure what it means....buttercups in the background.

Cervelo and Winston

The boys have found something to sniff or eat(?) in the grasses. Whatever it was, I could not get their attention ..

Lily with the boys.

Sun weim worshippers.......

Winston in the forefront, Lily at the top and Cervelo below Lily.

Cervelo and Lily surveillance

From this couch there is a view of the family room, hallway and outside patio. Weims like to know what is going on all the time especially if there is a noise!

The boys hanging out together...

Winston claims his corner on the couch.

Cervelo choses to perch above Winston.

Of course doing the perch sit on the couch only meant one thing....

Ear and throat nibbles on Winston who is conveniently below.

Should I continue with the nibbles?

Cervelo's assault on Winston continues....

How much more can Winston take?

Never too old to be a centerpiece on top of a table

Cervelo down time....

Cervelo hunting....

The squirrel hunt has started.........

Rose, the hunter........

Did Rose ever catch the squirrel? What do you think?

Snug as a bug in a rug....

Snug as a bug in a rug is an expression from a 1769 play, The Stratford Jubilee according to the Dictionary of Cliches 1985. The meaning of this expression implies safe or comfortable.

snug as a weim in blanket....

Winston

Winston snoozing, Rose looking demure and Lily sleeping soundly.

Whose toy is this anyway? Nose to nose....

Focused weims.....

Now where did that squirrel get to.......................

Cervelo at his post when he hears the squirrel..........

Rose takes her post to watch for the squirrel's arrival.........

Cervelo/Rose

Son and mother team up for the squirrel event.........

Weim recruitment has arrived for the squirrel's arrival....

Mountain trail with bunchberry and weims..........

On this particular mountain trail I found mounds of these white flowers called bunchberry also called a dwarf dogwood. This is a creeping perennial which gives rise to cluster of red fruit. The red fruit is edible for humans for jum and food for moose/birds

Rose in front followed by Winston, Lily and Cervelo who are grazing on the the trail. Eagle Mountain is seen in the distance which is part of a circuit of hikes around Bunzten Lake.

This particular trail follows a straight line between the trees towards Eagle Mountain where at the base is a beautiful lake called Bunzten providing recreation for both people/dogs. There are several hiking trails for both the experienced/inexperienced hikers around this Lake making it a popular destination for all.
