On the shelf

This one had me racking my brain…

I was thinking maybe I would put one of the dogs on a shelf in the refrigerator and then let Shannie open the door and scare the bejeebers out of her.  But then the thought of having to close the refrigerator door on one of my dogs just seemed to creepy ….even for me. Lol

So as I walked around the house trying to come up with something for “on the shelf”. I started noticing how many shelves in my house already have dogs on them.  

Then it started to become a game…even Shannie began to play it with me… we were finding dogs in every nook and cranny, and on every shelf.

But this one in the bathroom was my favorite and my shot for “on the shelf”

Snoopy will always be top dog in this house…even if he's not even an inch high.

So I had to go back and see when I posted about the dog days of summer photo challenge did I say it had to be a real dog ....nope I did not.

The beauty of making up your own challenge is you can bend the rules….hehehehe

Happy Monday Everyone!

Oh, what’s warm and fuzzy and orange all over?

Stop by tomorrow and find out ;)

Architecture

If it were possible for me to put a door on what I believe is the most amazing architecture… created by the most brilliant Architect…it would look like this… 

 Nothing manmade beats out the creator... all mighty God.

I don’t divide architecture, landscapes and gardening; to me they are one.

Black & White

I just could not decide between these two shots for my B&W photo challenge.

I love the moodiness of this first one…

 And the sweetness in this second one.

The thing I really love about black and white shots is you can wear the craziest mismatched clothing and no one would ever know.

Unless you have a Grandmother who blogs about it....LOL ;)

(Breakfast) with a friend

Shannie eats her breakfast every morning with Mr. Jebediah The big dogs get let out and feed first. So while I’m tending to the little guys, Jebb likes to go hang with Shannie.  When I saw the word breakfast this was the first thing that came to my mind. I love peeking around the corner and seeing their little morning ritual. Here Shannie is saying grace, but she's also keeping an eye on Mr. Jebb… just making sure he doesn’t bless himself with a little nibble.

And this shot is just a freebie. I love how he is holding out his tongue like a child would their hand saying…

Lie down look up

Guess what boy’s …that’s not even the shot I’m going to use for lie down look up. But thanks for the chuckles…lol

This one is…

The view from my camera lying on the porch as Miss Glory gave Mommy her paw.  What a good girl. :)

Egg on your face.

Determined to come up with something for “egg”… I grabbed Mrs. Beasley and some eggs and went into the studio.  I was not coming out till I came up with something. 

I cracked and emptied an egg for an idea I had... that totally did not work.

And even though she wasn’t having anything to do with my ideas… I’m so glad it was Beasley I chose. Because as I was photographing her I saw something I have never seen before…the white on her face is the shape of an egg!

And I did NOT Photoshop this …that is her face.

Isn’t that EGGcellent…lol

Macro

Stands for photomacrography. 

Which is an extremely up close shot.

 The only other thing I can say about this shot is...

I loved it so much I printed it and framed it.

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.
