Description

We've been pretty busy here, and I haven't had any time to get on RR. Lucinda (myrrhluz) came down on Saturday and stayed until Wednesday, and we had a nice time with her, as always. We mostly just kicked back and relaxed. When she comes to visit us it's a mini vacation for her, so I cook as usual, and Bill does dishes as usual, and Lucinda feels like she's being waited on hand and foot, when really we aren't doing anything more than we usually do. :) Everybody wins! A friend from Washington State came down ten or so days ago and is camping here for a month. She brought her dogs with her, and when she has things going on during the middle of the day when it's hot out, she drops them off at our place. They're lovely dogs, as you can see. Well behaved, not very demanding, and absolutely lovable. Gizmo likes to sit on my lap and sleep, and Jake lounges around on the cool floor, and everybody wins! Jake, Teressa's now-retired service dog is 14-1/2 years old. Gizmo is two or three years old (I've lost track), and is the most lovable dog in the world. iPhone shot, with Topaz Oil Painting Classic dialed down to about 75%.

beautiful capture, Looks like Jake sees something that interests him, food maybe? While Gizmo sees something entirely different

I don't think this winning is what the Orange Blob had in mind but it sounds much nicer than what ever we have now. Your two gentleman callers are quite handsome but why does Gizmo look older than Jake?

Aren't they adorably good looking!? I love that filter, it is one of my three favourites.

great that you saw Lucinda, great that you had another loving peaceful time with her. Did she play Mozart for you (sing any arias?) If you hear from her, say hello! And your other friend is still there for a while. Your portrait of her dogs used just enough filtering to give them a very subtle painterly effect; but it's still a photo. I like that you dialed back with the filter. In full size, the dogs have a nobility, and you got them in a configuration that looks almost as if it was chosen by a painter---one's looking one way, the other, the other, while they stay close and seem a unit. It feels like the portraits families do when they want a relaxed yet monumental portrait of their beloved dogs. Very true to a painter's tradition. And a gentle loving portrait of two dogs, period. They do look peaceful, yes. A real delight, Tara.

The Tara magical touch. I just knew it was your photo before I looked at the name. This is a lovely image of two lovely dogs. My two dogs are still adapting to living with people all around us and a tiny yard... It is tough but they will get there!

What a lovely photo and couple, Tara. It sounds like you all have a wonderful time. And, despite you taking care of the food, I believe you enjoyed it much more, at least I see it for me that way. Just lovely!!!

Thanks Tara. This is such a nice photo. They seem to be on their guard in a nice way. You caught their facial expressions at the right moment (that's quire an art per se). Keep up the good work. :-)
