Bouquet of Books

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #196 Today, we took a break from our preparations to take a silly picture using the theme of books.  Right now, Munchkin is reading through the Black Stallion series, so we used some of those books in the shot.  It didn’t turn out quite as desired, but it was a very quick photo shoot. 😉  She wasn’t too thrilled to be on the rocks.  Hey, I did give her a pillow for her head. **grin** Check out more Foto Friday Challenge – Books.

Project 365 – #192 For the record, I’m not normally one to get my pets their own clothing, but sometimes, it becomes a matter of necessity….  Now, occasionally, “puppy” will be given a costume by Munchkin, but he doesn’t usually get his own clothing. On the 4th of July weekend, we decided to go out exploring a little.  (More about that with pictures at a later date….)  At one point, we all got out to go look at some cool rock formations.  “Puppy” wanted to get out with us.  Keep in mind that we’re in the Az desert, and it’s…
