Unlooked for gorgeousness

Hiked off in search of things, and along the amazingly sunny four mile walk, observed many flowering trees and a few errant dogs. Fortunately the first one was a pug so fat it would probably have exploded if it had tried to give chase. The other two, large retrieverish looking animals, seemed to be at least with some odd man, if not on leash. I asked him to get control of them when they mobbed me, and he said,"Oh, the black one is mine, but the other one is my neighbor's. That dog is deranged!" Such comforting words.
A whole mall full of stuff, and not any of it really worthwhile; had to make due. Small wonder the planet is perishing.
