Focus on Life: Faithful

Who is more faithful than my favorite walking companion?

This week's theme for Focus on Life is Faithful. My faithful companion every morning is Bebop, my Labrador-Chow mix. Winter, summer, rain or shine, and for part of the year, in the dark, we walk at least to the end of our long driveway, and usually farther. Bebop also has a special relationship with Pippin, one of our cats. 

What other examples of faithfulness have our friends uncovered?

Focus on Life: Finding the Fun in Photography: Silliness!

Finding Silliness in Everyday Life. 

A new month brings us a new Focus on Life Theme, "Finding the Fun in Photography." This week's prompt is "silliness." Thank you to Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime!

I love silliness, but there is not a lot of it happening around me at all times. Or at least not the amusing kind of silliness. 

What to do, what to do....

Well the animals are sometimes a good source of silliness:

Hey, where's the leaf?

I got the leaf!

Pippin the cat loves to hang out with Bebop the dog, but they have different ideas of fun. Note the look of boredom on Bebop's face. 

But this might be the height of silliness in my life:

"Thanks Mom for bringing the backpack."

My daughter left for AnimeNext - a convention to which she had a ride with friends. And forgot her backpack full of accessories and makeup for her cosplay costumes. Here she is, makeupless and grateful, after I drove them out to her. 

So who is the silly one? 

Oh well, she's still my baby....

(Note: I do not know what her character is, but that is a jellyfish on her head. )

Focus on Life: Moments - Morning

Here we are on an April morning. 

When I found out that this week's photo prompt was Morning, to start off our April theme of Moments, I tried to think of some different photos from the ones I usually take. You see, most of my casual photos are taken in the morning, while taking my morning walk. I can't take a camera or other picture-taking device into work,  so early morning workplace was out, and the weather has not been ideal, so recording the glory of spring was out too. 

So here is my selfie. You get to see my bed head. This is me early in the morning. Yikes!

Typical morning activities are walking with Beebop, and her blurry friend, Pippin, and picking up the newspaper and yesterday's mail. The animals don't care what I look like. I'm usually a bit more put together by the time I leave for work. 

Let's see what Morning Moments everyone has documented.

Focus On: Feeling the Love

Litter Mates

Week 6 of the Focus on Life Blog Challenge sponsored by Sally Russick of Studio Sublime asks us to Feel the Love. 

Merry and Pippin are our sister and brother cats, and if cats can love each other, they prove it.

They tussle, they groom, and they share furniture. Meet Merry and Pippin!

Merry's beautiful face.

Pippin goes exploring with his other bestie, Bebop.
