Recuperation journey: Ah, spring

“In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”

- Alfred Tennyson

 

That famous quote came to mind earlier today when I was taking a walk and someone ahead of me was walking his male dog.

When they got to a friend of mine's house the man took off the leash. 

His canine made a beeline to the backyard where a female dog I'm acquainted with was standing behind a fence, seemingly waiting for him.

I'm guessing it's love. It's springtime, after all.
