Day 201: Starts with "S"/Heather

I took a couple of shots of sunflower seeds that I really liked but in the end, I just could not resist this shot of Sammy. It's almost time for a haircut and I think he is starting to look a bit like a stuffed animal-especially his head.

Day 100: Portrait:/Heather

I have taken a bunch of great portrait-style shots of the dogs in the past (mostly by accident) so I figured this would be easy: put the camera in portrait mode and take pictures of the dogs. Step one was easy. Step two-not so much. I had just given Charlie a new ball so they were wound up. I did find that I was able to use the ball to attract their attention where I wanted it, but was not fast enough to snap the shot I was going for. No wonder pet photographers charge so much!

Here is a picture of Sammy. Hard to believe my baby boy will be 8 next week!

Day 88: In the Kitchen/Heather

Hurricane Heather has definitely struck my kitchen! So I took pictures of random items in which the mess couldn't be seen. I decided to go with one of the fun pictures for this post: the boys looking for their treats, which are kept in the turkey roasting pan (bottom left). This is a very common sight in my kitchen, so it definitely qualifies for today's theme.
