This Week Around the Neighborhood
We have been trying to get the pugs out for walks whenever we can with the heat being excessive like it is these days. Mostly we take them out around sunset but on Monday morning, we got to take them in the morning. It was a little bit cooler and actually felt really good out.…

August.
Whew. It’s been a month for sure! We just got settled in to being home and then turned around and went to The Netherlands to visit family. And it was great. We were only there about 3 days, but we got a lot in. This was my first time there, and I loved it. It…

Our Backyard
I was surprised to find as many things as I did in the backyard to photograph with a macro lens. A macro just opens up so many possibilities that you’d never know about until you get up close. The grass shots were just sitting the camera in the grass, all of the shots were really…

Not much going on lately…
I haven’t gotten a whole lot done lately. I did a few more cyanotypes (will share those later), did my 52 Frames submission and started drawing for another Portes de Pont-Aven painting. I dug out some old Polaroid Transfers from 2001-2003 and may list them on Etsy. We will see. I have a pile of…

Action Pugs
I had to do a fast shutter speed for 52 Frames and of course, it was going to be action dog shots. Only my dogs are awkward, so they just turned out to be funny. Oh well, it made me laugh and they’re super cute. Nikon Z50ii, 70-200 2.8 lens.

Just Random Stuff
The 52 Frames assignment a week or two ago was “what is it?” and I used a macro lens to try to get something. Here are a few outtakes from that assignment. It was fun! All images taken with Nikon Z50ii and Z 105 2.8 MC lens.

70-200 Practice
Gary and Hazel got to practice their modeling skills and I got to practice my shooting skills with the Nikon Z 70-200 2.8. Not the newest model of the lens, of course, but this lens is a really beautiful lens, and yes, heavy, but takes amazing action photos. We were just in the backyard so…

Seaside in Bretagne
We visited the coast twice this trip. The first time, we picnicked at a beautiful spot that we had not been before, and then on another day, we walked GR34 again; same section, still as beautiful. The picnic day was pretty cool, but it still was so nice eating our baguettes with prosciutto and cheese,…

Quimper, France
The last of the Brittany cities we visited, but it’s a favorite. And SO MANY creperies! But we enjoyed walking around, visiting the Quimper Cathedral. So many old (like 1400s to 1800s) saints, I guess, there. Also we stumbled across a tropical botanical garden, Jardin exotique de la Retraite right in downtown Quimper. Very interesting…

Lorient, France
We went to Lorient this trip so it was our first time there. It was a typical city but had a nice waterfront area where we walked and came across le Tour de la Découverte, a lighthouse that was reconstructed between 1785-1786. While we were walking by, a man was playing bagpipes outside of it;…
