26/365 Another sign of spring

My Signs that Spring is Here list appears to be growing by the day. Here is yet another one.

Buster loves for us to leave the door open that leads from the kitchen to the screened porch. This is his favorite spot when winter eases its clutches on Indiana and lets spring get some elbow room. He sits so he can oversee the back yard but keep an ear open to what's happening in the house.

Seeing him sit like this makes me feel calm and peaceful. He's an ever-alert watch dog, so when he sits here, the perfect picture of serenity, I know that all is routine within a few hundred yards of the house.

Now, granted, an event that makes him raise the alarm that all is NOT routine may just be an especially large robin on the deck rail... but I can't fault him for doing his job!

Camera: Canon Rebel DSLR (on Program setting) 1/40s, f/4.0, ISO 200 in natural light at about 7:30 p.m.
