Brownie's new friend Kinky was leaving the Apple Pool this morning just as we were arriving, so I still haven't gotten a picture of the two of them.  But we did actually get to meet Pansy, who we've only seen in passing on our walks the past several days.

Shooting into the sun isn't easy!

Walking back to the house (we left somewhat sooner than we might have, because to say that Pansy's dad Michael is garrulous is WAY beyond understatement) Brownie got close to one of the creeks by the kiddie pool, though never did get his feet wet... at least until he fell off this narrow bridge!

And while he still hasn't taken care of business, at least the morning hasn't been a total loss since he got to bark at this deer that crossed the road in front of us.
