To the Dogs

  • by

I had a great time this afternoon with these guys.  Oh, and the people were nice too.  After almost an entire week of sub zero weather, we could actually go outside without jackets.  That’s Denver for ya.  The sun is out and the temperature is up.  Thank goodness it hadn’t been warm long enough for the snow to melt.

I don’t know dogs very well, but these three were beautiful… if only a bit young and restless.  I know what that’s all about.  I have three who are equally tireless… although of the human kind.

We began tame, trying to get the obligatory family portrait done before we let loose.

I love this one.  Yup. we live in the West.  The red sand proves it.

So sweet.  This little girl has lots of energy… made me wish I was a dog whisperer.

Search for the Perfect Nativity

This is very close to my ideal… except they are paintings/prints and I would love to have a nativity set (3 dimensional) similar in feel to this.  In any case this artist has such beautiful work.

Today

I’ve got a lot of things brewing.  Getting ready for Christmas.  Lots for gifts being made.  Can’t share any of them for fear of giving away the surprise.  So you will all have to wait until after the 25th.  Sorry to be so negligent with the blog lately.  Lots of things happening, just all of them are hush, hush.

Here is a photo of me from today.  My friend and I teamed up to photograph a few families at the Ele. school.  This was a test shot she took.  I felt 10 years younger, like an assistant again… except then it would have been a Polaroid test shot.  Oh and I wouldn’t be holding and loving a baby either.  There are some perks that come will old age 😉
