Weekly Winners: Flower Power

Shot by Aunt Julie with a Canon Rebel XTi

Weekly Winners are brought to you each week by Lotus, over at Sarcastic Mom. Aunt Julie had The Boys digging in the dirt in the other day, and all the activity put me in mind of these beauties, which graced her garden last year, and are starting to renew their presence this time around.

Stargazer Lily

Weekly Winners: It's a Dog's Life, Right?

Time for another edition of Weekly Winners, brought to you by Sarcastic Mom.

During my latest Road Trip to see my peeps, Aunt Julie and I took the doggies to the Kaukauna, WI, Dog Park .

The thing about Moses and Rowdy is they like to go in the water, no matter how cold it is. Here's Moses shaking off. That's Rowdy's butt on the right...got his nose in something, for sure!

Although this shot doesn't show it, Rowdy went pretty far out. There was a family of ducks across the pond, and we were hoping he didn't notice...




Moses got tired of the cold water after a while and decided that being dry on land was preferable...


...while Rowdy found a friend to play with. I really like the colors and the composition of this one.

Once again, I snapped these shots using a Nikon CoolPix 4600, 4.0 Megapixels, 3x Zoom. Next week, I'll try to showcase some shots by my daughter, "The Artiste."
