52 Weeks of Misty 2015: 22/52 - "Come on, let's go!"

Submission for 22/52:

"Today was the 4th day we've been on the road. Dogs are doing great so far and seem to be enjoying the road trip. We've also been very fortunate with the weather and somehow managed to avoid the terrible rain and flooding that's been happining in the mid region of the country."

12 Months of Jasper: May - "You looking at me?"

Submission for May:

"While packing, I found a pack of these fake mustaches...why I have them...I have no clue! Anyways, they provided a good break from working, and we had some good laughs over them!"

52 Weeks of Misty 2015: 21/52 - boxes, boxes everywhere!

Submission for 21/52:

"Boxes are popping up everywhere and the dogs are rather confused by all these strange objects. Taken with late afternoon sun behind, I didn't bother cleaning up all the dust spots created by lens flare. Next couple of weeks will be a challenge as we'll be on the road with only my camera, phone and tablets...and the dogs, of course! :)"

guess we're really moving...

52 Weeks of Misty 2015: 20/52 - packing up!

Submission for 20/52:

"We've been in a full time packing mode this week, but couldn't resist a little fun time with some bubble wrap. Didn't quite get the shot I wanted as I had to work quickly to avoid getting Misty overheated under all that padding! :)"

ready for shipping...

52 Weeks/12 Months of Misty & Jasper: May - Northwest, here we come!

Things have been very hectic and happening at a lightening speed...our house went under contract within couple of days after listing it, and we had to quickly shift our focus to packing and planning the move. Trying to stay focused and not overwhelmed has been a bit of a challenge, so taking the time out to do this photo session was actually a good thing. I actually envisioned this photoshoot for awhile, ever since our move became more of a reality at the beginning of the year and have plans to use the photo for our moving/new address announcement card. I'm really happy with how they turned out and was quite amazed at how well the dogs tolerated wearing the coats...I think it was a good practice for them for the real rain that awaits us!

52 Weeks of Misty 2015: 18/52 - something purple, hat, wood...

Occasionally, the 52 weeks group have optional challenges for us to do, if we want to participate. I'm not too good at checking the group's discussion forum on a regular basis and normally miss these, but I did happen to catch this one in time--"these three things". The challenge was to incorporate something purple, hat and wood into our weekly photo...easy enough, except we don't seem to own anything in purple. Then, I remembered this one shirt that's been in our donation pile for months, and we were in business! I got creative with the shirt and made a tacky cute bonnet/hat out of it and had Misty pose in front of the wood cabinet door...done!
