G for Graduate!

                       Reality bites- ha! - Burr- a windy cooler day

                      It's that time of year to celebrate grads.

  G and her dad chose a few spots on the East side for her high school senior portrait. I then scouted the area to check the best light for our shoot a week later.

 G was a joy to work with and she even laughed at my silliness (bonus).

Between setting up the shot she wrapped herself in my blanket that's always in the car. Glamour - the price ya pay for a good photo. :)

Wishing G all the best in college this coming year and years to come.

Shodo happy little Cockapoo

"Shodo is a happy little cockapoo, about 22 lbs with a really cool swirly black, white and gray coat and an almost always wagging tail.  He came into my life from a rescue org about 11 years ago (he's a little over 13 now) and introduced me to John via manners class at the HS.  Little S has been an adventure dog most of his life, but we now do mostly short walks because he has heart issues.  He loves treat toys, smelling things, watching the neighborhood from our couch, sleeping under the bed, running laps around the house when we get home, saying hi to neighbors and neighbor dogs, playing hide and seek with treats and stealing socks.  He doesn't seem into toys/squeakers for more than a minute anymore and he's not a fan of the car."

This is what was shared with me when emailing back and forth, to Kelley, the co-parent. I love to know these tidbits about your beloveds. 
Shodo was a joy the minute I was walked through the front door. Plus, his parents weren't so bad either. ;)

So grateful to have such beauty so close by. A recent hike at Lapham Peak- ice age trail.
