Serene Scenery Sunday

Ha roo, pups, kit-cats and serenity lovers. It's me, Zim, here with this week's look around for peaceful scenery to share. How about we start in our backyard. Ready?

Guess what is still in bloom? Our day lilies! The leaves are all brown, but check out the flowers:

Pretty cool, huh? I like that splash of color in all the different tans.

The Rose of Sharon right above the lilies isn't blooming any more, but check out what it looks like!

Even during the off-season, you can find beauty! Speaking of beauty .... everyone loves roses! Look at ours:

It still offers intense color!

In Ammy's post the other day, you could also see a lot of our cool ornamental grasses - those always make me feel serene! You know what else makes me feel good?

Oh, YEAH!

Mom and I set off on a ride just the other day. We pulled over at one point to do a little exploring.

While out there, we looked over toward the west and could see some of our troops at Fort Riley out training! Well, not exactly our soldiers themselves, but look!

A Chinook helicopter, practicing a supply drop! Isn't that cool? Seeing our troops train and hearing them out on the ranges makes all of us feel serene; the more they train, the safer they are in battle. We call the sounds of them firing out on the ranges the sounds of freedom!!!

I thought I'd do a little training myself. Here I am, working on my camouflage:

I'm back there behind that big stalk of grass. Can you see me?

Ammy and I went on a great walk together on Veterans Day. Here we are, arriving back at Ao4 Headquarters:

Ammy and me!

The sight of home is always a good one!

Speaking of Ammy, she wanted me to toss in a couple sunset pix!

These are both from the 8th.

Do they make you feel serene? Here's one last one of me, taken on Veterans Day.

Me, thinking about our troops.

Have a serene Sunday, everyone. Think about the things you love and that bring you inner peace!

Play bows,

Zim
