The Four Legged Adventure Bot!

This living, breathing, heart pumping, wide eyed, little lady can save you from the mistake of locking yourself indoors with all your fancy gadgets waiting the winter winds away. It’s the way she plops down on the floor and doesn’t hide that stagnate bored expression you may feel inside your own head.  When the walls that keep the icy winds away from your skin begin to make you claustrophobic, bundle up in your artificial winter fur and see what you and your Four Legged Adventure Bot can discover!

That crisp contrast between the pure bright white snow and the deep blue ski that gradients down into a light birds egg blue with a hint of green as it reaches the horizon on a cloudless sunny day after a big snow storm is one of the honest joys that the winter season brings. The quietness that surrounds the landscape makes every bird chirp sing out as that perfect solo note. So much life still exists as a blanket of icy jewels dazzle the tips of tree branches and the land is protected by a layer of glassy ice. The air is crisp, clean and refreshing.

At times my glasses would fog up from breathing in my scarf and the world looked as a dreamscape sequence out of a movie.  Sophie, my furry tour guide, blended into the dream with her curly off-white coat and sparkly nose from sniffing out adventure in this snow-covered world. In the minds eye, wandering through landscapes can turn into something as magical, if not more, as the motion pictures.

Caesar's Pet Photography


I am just finishing up my photo order from Saturday's Photo Session at Caesar's Pet. This portrait of Cayton, Cloe, and Chase is my favorite. Visit Caesar's Pet in the Historic Greendale Village. This Saturday, October 2, is Hay Days Fall Festival from 10am-4pm.

K-Niners


Today was a trial run at a new gig I’ve taken up at Caesar’s Pets in the Greendale Village. I photographed the owner’s two puppies and the store manager’s five puppies. It was a lot like photographing children with a number of added difficulties. The largest achievement was the final portrait of the store manager’s family of five (5) dogs in one frame. While reviewing the photos I had a lot of beautiful portraits, but this one really stood out to me. I like a real portrait that tells a story, that has a personality, that might be a little goofy, that might not make sense.
