So, my old boss asked me to do some house-sitting for him again. I stayed there over the weekend. He lives up in the Olympus Cove area and has a nice view of the valley. He has me stay there in order to take care of his dog. Her name is Emma. She is the neediest dog that I have ever met. She will not leave you alone. You have to be showing her some sort of attention or she will keep pestering you. I have a strange love/hate relationship with her. She drives me crazy, but she's so sweet that it's hard to hold it against her. I usually scold her when she keeps bumping my arm while I'm on the computer, trying to get me to pet her. She stops for a little while and then comes back for more. After awhile it can become fairly humorous that she doesn't give up, then annoying again, then humorous again. I think you get the idea.
They have a fairly overgrown yard and it allows for some fun picture taking. I found this worn soccer ball lying in the tall grass. I really liked the look and texture of the ball. 
You can't go wrong with a sunset. I posted one a couple of posts back, but I'm going to post another. While I was taking Emma on a walk one of the evenings, I noticed that it was going to be a very nice sunset, so I hurried back to the house and grabbed my camera. Here's a shot that I took from the house balcony.
