Outliers | Pathway to Nature   Springtime bursts with life at Crabtree Nature Center.  From tree buds to turtles, spring brings to life all that is natural in northern Illinois.  OK, it’s not spring right now.  Still, it’s a cool image.  See Way Cool | a 7 Image Story for more of my favorite off beat images.

Outliers | Jasper

12/19/2021 Outliers | Jasper

Outliers | Jasper   This image shows Jasper while in his prime as a champion.  Jasper passed today.  Like most Pugs he was a happy, jovial dog.  He always greeted you with a lick and a tail wag.  He was a sweet dog who appreciated everything you did for him.   Being a Pug, he loved to eat and sleep.  Exercise, not so much!    Although he did like a nice walk.  He had a few things that made him unique.  When he walked or ran, he would prance like he was in a dog show.  He also did not like to walk on smooth slippery floors.  Jasper is the only champion Pug we have ever had.  We got him after he became a champion.  The breeder did not want to keep him so got him for a pet price.  He was worth so much more.  His value to our family was priceless.  The whole family will miss him.  Now, Jasper has become one with the cosmos.  God’s speed buddy!
