Buddy is 4 months old and beginning to look like a Mini Schnauzer.
The heart shaped nose says it all - a lovable creature.
 He is a VERY busy boy - it took about 20 shots to get this one!☺
Buddy is a "Black & Silver". I had already ordered Lulu when he unexpectedly became part of the menagerie.  When Lulu was born (the only girl in the litter) she also happened to be Black & Silver! She arrives next week and I wonder what my house is going to be like then?? It already has the 'minimalistic' look:  everything that is not puppy-proof has been rolled up, moved to a higher spot, packed on top of the furniture or chewed! Another week and I will be home during the day.
A month of puppy training and pee-pee parade is high on the to-do list!

Scurrying across the concrete - at first I thought it was a cockroach of sorts,
but an extreme closeup showed an Armadillo-like insect.
It might be related to a Woodbug, although it was very flat.

It was rather windy when I arrived home quite late today.  There was not a bug in site!
As I was trying to photograph these lovely little flowers I spotted this Plume Moth nearby.
It is called a Plume Moth because of the feather-like wings.
Because of the wind and rather bad light, I took a number of photos, hoping to get a good one.
 I could not choose between these two - I think the moth was showing off....

These pretty little flowers are actually weeds - I do not have the heart to pull them out!
