Nice Park

I had the opportunity to visit a park (Wardlow) recently.  This park is very pretty.

Happy Valentine's Day

A silly dog

This is Spooky.  He's my brother and sister-in-law's dog and I've had the chance to get to know him over the last few months.  I enjoy him, although he's silly.   He's not used to being where there are a lot of people, so loud noises, people out and about and cars kind of scare him.  He also doesn't know what to think of leaves being blown by the wind.  He's funny.

Out and About

I visited Franklin Park not long ago.

It's a pretty park.  I love the trees.

Guardians of the Galaxy

In Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter Quill is abducted from Earth by a group of space pirates (the Ravagers) led by Yondu Udonta.  On the planet Morag 26 years later, Peter steals an orb.  It turns out there are quite a few others who are interested in this orb.  The orb is actually an Infinity Stone, which gives great destructive power to whoever happens to possess it.  Peter has quite an adventure as he attempts to keep the orb from being used for evil.  He has to deal with others attempting to get the stone and being attacked and taken prisoner by aliens, and he shows courage and resourcefulness in handling his challenges.

I re-watched Guardians of the Galaxy recently and enjoyed it as much as the first time I saw the movie.  The plot is interesting and the characters are entertaining, particularly Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper).  The whole cast does an excellent job and the interaction between the characters is well-done.  I like how Peter, Groot, Rocket, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bartista) start out as rivals and end up working together for the common good.

This is a movie worth seeing more than once.

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas
