My Sunday Photo this week was taken just yesterday afternoon as I was out walking the dogs. I find walking the dogs one of the most relaxing and rewarding past times. Relaxing for me to forget life’s troubles and rewarding as you get to see them enjoying life like this. Duke hasn’t featured much in […]
