Still Day 15...Dogs Gone Wild

So my coffee kicked in, but not in time to get any decent holiday shots. By the time I had dinner and dishes finished it was getting dark, UGH. I love the changing of every season here in Maine, but we've already lost 4 hours of daylight! I have too many things to do every day before it gets dark. Anyway.

I set up Christmas balls, ornaments, lights and gift boxes, but it just wasn't happening. They were too dark, even though it was before sunset, in front of my window where I shoot most of my indoor photos. I hate using the flash, but did it anyway.




So, not good. I was frustrated and my hands were tied, hubby took my car and I couldn't find anything else in my house. 

So I went outside, and used my favorite subjects.

Moses with the flash. He HATED that haha. Poor kitty.

So that's it for today! I'm thinking tomorrow I will try again for some holiday inspired shots, unless of course I make it to someplace pretty that inspires me. Depends on my taxi duties I guess. I also want to take some shots of my other dog. He doesn't cooperate much, we will see! Hope you've had a FABULOUS day!!

We are literally getting a foot of snow this afternoon, so like everyone else, I acted as though the world was coming to an end and bought out there grocery store this morning. Gotta feed my four kids and hubby, even if I could gladly live off of Munchos and green tea. However, now that I am home, three of my kids are here safe, hubby's skidder broke down so he said the heck with it and he also is home safe. Gotta get son #3 home from work and then I will really relax. In the meantime, I am spending a few glorious hours with King Henry VIII and the Tudor Court. Bliss.  Have an awesome day!

First Post This Year!

I hope you had a fun and safe New Year!  As I mentioned before, my wedding anniversary was on New Year's Eve, so my hubby took me to our favorite place for a Scorpion Bowl, or two 😉.  Took a couple of my kids with us to drive, one of the perks of having a houseful of teens, I guess!   My awesome hubby bought me flowers, of course, which I promptly disassembled and took pictures of, and played around in Photoshop,  on my NEW LAPTOP that Santa (or my son's and hubby) bought me for Christmas.  I was so excited! Still am, thus all the explanation points. (!!!) Pretty, right? They are pretty all together in their vase too, I assure you.  Ok, I took a quick pic with my cell phone, just to show he did indeed buy me a "bunch" of flowers, not just the two I edited above. :) And a card too! Since I was in such a good mood, and my profile pic on HERE is now from last year, I took a selfie, cause...

Spring Snow

When an unexpected beautiful snow covers the muddy ground and sticks to the trees, you just gotta get some pictures. I'm glad I got up early enough to catch it while it was still so pretty, it's already melting now. We all know what melting snow looks like when you have two dogs 😃. Nothing you'd want to take pictures of! Having a quiet day at home today, hubby bought wine so looks like I'll be cooking and quite likely enjoying myself pretty soon, whenever it's wine-thirty. 🍷📖❄🥂 Hope you are having an awesome day!  Wanna follow me on my Finsta? #bookaddictiam  HERE Check my Viewbug page out  HERE Or see my Photocrowd pics  HERE Or, if youre feeling generous, or pitiful, either works, go download from  my  Adobe portfolio  HERE   Or my Shutterstock portfolio  HERE   Or my Getty/Istock portfolio  HERE     Thank You!
