Well, actually...Tali gets three walks per day for a total of about 2 1/2 hours. Here she is:

This Tulip is from my neighbours garden...and, I even got her permission to nick it Smile

I never really had interest in flowers when I was young (it was just beer, heavy rock music, and chix back then Wink

...even tho my dad was an avid gardener and entered local competitions.
However, when I left the UK after completing art college (1976) and spent a lot of time in tropical locations I suddenly developed this strong passion for vivid colours and interesting floral forms, etc. It was probably a subconcious internal response to all those drab, miserable, grey winters I experienced as a kid growing up in England. I was literally starved of colour for 5 months each year.

Great colors on that one. Gorgeous dog as well (and lucky too to get over 2 hours of walking each day). Alas, my dog Sadie is getting up in years, and her walks are limited to up and down the street twice a day. When we were both in our prime, we would backpack together for 3 days straight in the state forestland, just the two of us. Now, her hips and my knees are better suited to watching old movies on TV.
