Day 344 – Photo Session: Mariya

I met this young woman in June at my nephew and his girlfriend’s baby shower.  We spoke at the time of doing  a photography session, and it finally came to pass today.  I don’t think the temperature  got above forty during our morning session.  Chilly!!!  Here’s a sneak peek. I’ll post more later.

Day 330 – Bowers Mansion

I took Nina and Buddy on an outing today.  One of our stops was Bowers Mansion Park.  Here are a few photos from that stop.

On the playground, these swings caught my eye. I liked the repeating shapes, so I processed the photo in black and white to bring them out.

At the front steps of the mansion.

There is a very large fallen tree on the property. This is just a portion of the exposed roots.

A view of the mansion from the playground. Out of the frame to the left is a covered picnic area and horseshoe pit.

Day 318 – Mini Ice Storm?

I think the sprinklers may have inadvertently come on early this morning.  I thought Sweetie had shut them off for the winter, but I guess not. Anyway, I came out to icicles on the rose bushes which, surprisingly, still have most of their leaves.

My side-garden fence had some icicles too.  I really like this shot.

Day 277.5 – Just for fun

I’m practicing a lighting technique and Nina was nosing around underfoot. She wanted up in my lap. One thing led to another . . .

Trying to get my face properly lit while Nina scopes out the live view on my laptop..

She is quite the wiggler.

 

Me checking out the laptop. Nina squirming some more.

 

Me, trying to avoid “the tongue.”

 

She got me!

 

Smooch!

I love this little dog so much!
