PF: Toby in 35mm f/1.8

Toby

Photo Friday is my day to share my photographs of the moment and my thoughts associated with them. I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I enjoy sharing them. Have I mentioned my vacation is coming up soon?  Oh, I know I have.  It is getting so close that I am getting undeniably [...]

PF: Happiness is a Warm Puppy

Or so Toby thinks as he rolls around in the hot Louisiana sun. And to paraphrase ol’ Charlie Brown: “Stinkiness is also a warm puppy.”

Photo Friday: Dogs in Black & White

Last week’s Photo Friday post featured the equipment I use in my photographic pursuits.  I spoke about the Nifty Fifty lens (50mm f/1.8) I like to take portraits.  Recently, I went to a family get together to see my cousin’s new baby girl.  I knew I’d want to use this lens to take pictures of [...]

Doggie Love

Today is a beautiful day in Louisiana, or at least in my part of it.  Cool with a hint of chilly sprinkled in the air.  The dogs love this weather, most especially Toby.  Out came the camera and off we sprinted outside to enjoy the weather after baking bread this morning.  I have one goal [...]

Hey You!

This is BLISS!

  I don’t think you can get much more “blissful” than this.  LOL!  I took the opportunity to snap some pics of my dogs this morning while it was pretty, sunny, and just a wee bit windy.  I got lucky and caught this picture as gabby was soaking up the sun and the wind on [...]

Why Couches Get Messed Up

My couch will never look picture perfect.  It won’t ever look like those wonderful couches in magazines or on furniture ads on TV.  It’s not because of the slipcover.  It’s not because I tend to cover it with a quilt.  It is because of the dog who insists she MUST be covered up when she [...]

Why Pillows Really Go Flat…

When I created this blog, I chose the title since I knew my posts would not always be about bento. As is the case of this post. Ever wonder why your pillows go flat for no real reason? For example, you’ve just purchased new pillows in the last 3 months and already there seems to [...]
