the reason why

Hey! That's my leg!....and this is why Tika does not like Sam to be anywhere near her....such a bully.

Tika Moments

I love this dog so much it's crazy. Just looking back at a few moments at the cottage. 

Hugs to all!

That's one way to stay warm!

This is how she rolls....

The poor girl. She gained too much momentum going down the stairs and when I looked back, there she was, legs stretched out behind her, sliding down the stairs. Once she got to the bottom, her hind legs were spread out and I was sure she wouldn't be able to walk after that ride. She seems fine but now I'm going to have to start blocking off the stairs. She just wants to be close to us. 

Foggy Day

Photos taken on a foggy day last year. 

It arrived!

 I am so excited! The book I created for Eva arrived!! Who would have thought that after taking a few quick photos, that I would end up taking so many fun photos for the store Delilah. As a thank you,  I created a little momento for Eva, this book. A year in photos!

Not just a smudge.

After shooting a wedding in Cuba, one of my lenses appeared to have a smudge on the lens. I brought it in to see if it was an easy fix but not so. The back of the lens has been scratched. It will be awhile before I can replace the wide angle. Bummer.

Closer.

With Tika, I can't get close enough to her beautiful face. I have to squish my head up against hers and give her a little massage behind the ears. We are doing more of this lately. She is happy and doing well, but it's just age that is slowing her down, her hearing is not the best, so for now, snuggling works for both of us.

My model for today....

Just playing.

You first.

Just thinking about a few cottage moments and so happy for friends who have purchased a cottage. A wee bit jealous too!

Hanging out....
