Just here?

We went for a walk at lunchtime today. It was actually warmer outside the office than in. So I had a little paddle along the way, then I heard them shout Murph look this way, and I did. I quite like this photo of me at the waters edge. But I preferred hearing this quote:

“No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.”
