Project 52 - Week 24: Gardens

6/12/2015

4 Comments

 
I am participating in a new group, made up of some very fine pet photographers, who select a new theme for each week and then set up a photo shoot to match the theme.  I'm starting in at Week 24 and while I may not be able to post every week, I hope to participate as much as possible.

The rule around here is to NOT plant anything within the dog fence area that can be carried away by a canine seeking plant revenge.  We have seven (YES SEVEN) dogs, who sometimes band together to search and destroy anything that might be loved or fondled over too much by humans.  Watering can be misconstrued as "love."

Some of our garden landscape includes sturdy bushes that bloom.  Piper, our border collie, who absolutely refuses to become a model at any cost, can be lulled into a false sense of security and photographed when he least expects it, as in the photo below.  In order to capture this photo I had to hide around the other side of the bush and pop out.

We also garden in many containers in and around our patio, which is contained in the fenced-in dog yard.  Some of these containers are hanging baskets but most are on stands which cannot be knocked over.  Here is our girl, Lilah, a seasoned poser, being somewhat cooperative near one of our larger container gardens.  Lilah did not get her hair done for this photo.

Although the next photo is a bit blown out, I just had to post it.  I had taken the hanging basket down to place behind Lilah for the previous photo, and then I hung it back up.  I am quite sure that Lilah figured when we were done with the photo above, she would have had full access to the basket for sniff and taste purposes.  Her facial expression, and specifically that "setter lip" that so many of us English Setter owners know well, show her thoughts on the matter.

I am guessing that you would like to see some additional interpretations of the Gardens theme. Simply  click on these lovely colored letters which will link you to Moxy Pets Photography.  At the end of Eva's blog you will find another link to click on. You can continue right through the loop until you end up back here again.  Isn't this fun?  Enjoy!
