A Hawk in Chelsea

December 8, 2011 | Filed Under Chelsea, Dogs, Hawks, Sparrows | 15 Comments 

On Tuesday, I spent the day with Elizabeth, Robert and Buster.  I always have a fun time when I see them. 

 

It was a rainy day but the rain seemed to stop so that Elizabeth, Buster and I could walk around Chelsea and take photos.  

 

There are a lot of nice townhouses in the neighborhood.

 

Many are nicely decorated for the holiday.

 

We bumped into two of  Buster’s nemesis friends. 

 

They stared at him as he stared right back.  I think Buster calls this cat Raccoon Tail.

Do you think this cat is a mix with raccoon? 

 

During the staring contest, Elizabeth and I took photos.  :-D

 

There were plenty of talkative sparrows around.  I haven’t taken any sparrow photos in a long time.

 

The best part of my day (apart from spending time with Buster, of course) happened after lunch

when Robert arranged a special sighting of a hawk to come and sit right outside their window on the lamp pole.

 

OMG!  A hawk!  Right outside the window!

With all the activity on the sidewalk below, no one looked up to notice the hawk.

That was so exciting to see.  Thanks, Robert!  

 

It was a good day spent in Chelsea.

This lady walking her two dogs was stretched in two different directions, since each dog wanted to do something different.

Three Yorkies

In the comments section, Lily wrote that she’d noticed these three Yorkies in the background of the previous photo that I’d posted.  I’d noticed them, too, when I saw them walking down the sidewalk with their man and woman  They were very cute-looking and energetic.  They stopped in front of the supermarket, while the man and woman took turns shopping and staying outside with the dogs.   I liked that they didn’t leave the dogs alone.  First the woman went inside and when she returned with her purchase, the man went inside.

First Ones Outside

One of the first ones outside after the storm were dogs and their owners. 

 

 

Time to walk the dogs.

 

 

If you’re a dog owner, especially in the city, I’m sure you can relate to this.

 

 

Time to walk the dogs.

Watching and Waiting

July 21, 2011 | Filed Under City Streets and Sidewalks, Dogs | 7 Comments 

I hate to see dogs tied up and left alone by their owners.  It is not a safe practice and it can be a stressful time for the dog.  This dog was anxiously watching and waiting for his owner.  The dog kept looking in the direction of the restaurant, so I assume that the owner was in there.
