Dogs and Horses and Cats, Oh MY!!!

Miss Freckles is making herself more at home all the time. Now she's taken to chewing things up that aren't hers, and has started digging in the garden areas. We're working on that. She got even more new toys and things to chew on today in the hopes that we can teach her 'hers' from 'ours'. We'll continue the formal training in September when classes start up again.

Eric and Michael and Gaelen have her down at the beach right now, I got this image from Eric's camera phone.

Sounds like they're having a blast down there.

My mom and I are attending the "Boomer Bash" tonight, I have donated a pet portrait package to the cause, and it will be in the oral auction. So of course I have to take some of my favorite pet portrait studio samples to show off to get the price jacked up and up and up... should be fun.

This is a flyer I put together to promote my pet portraits.

And off the subject... I had a client walk in yesterday and ask if I'd do her portraits on the spot. Ok. She said that she'd NEVER seen a picture of herself that she liked. And she's in her mid-60s. So you know there must be a LOT of pictures of her out there, and she doesn't like a single one of them. So... no pressure... LOL - We got started and tried this and that and finally came up with an image that she LOVES. She said the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. Yay! Mission accomplished!

She walked in here very doubtful that we could make anything she liked, she hated every image I took of her, until she started to relax a little and her real personality started to shine thru. Eventually we got exactly what she wanted.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Marshmallow farm?

On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.

Road Trip! Part Seven: The Rocky Mountains

-

 The next couple of days were spent sightseeing in the Rockies with my favorite cousin, Melanie. One major highlight was a ride on the  Georgetown Loop Railroad .  The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and the scenery was second to none. Click on one of the pictures to enlarge them into a filmstrip view. What a great ride!  I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Denver area. Next, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Cousin Melanie got a shot of a moose; I was too far away.  Great shot, Mel! This was mid-June.  It was fun to see snow and walk around on it, we don't get much here at the Oregon Coast! I put my mom's ashes in the creek in her hometown. I sure do miss her. Next up:  The Tetons!

Agate Windows

The GraceNotes have been busy lately, singing at assisted living facilities around the county. We have a few more gigs coming up and booking plenty more for summer. Woo hoo! Last Sunday we sang at the Yachats Presbyterian Church, where we found the most interesting windows. Unpolished beach agates are embedded in resin sheets and make up these windows. The texture of the resin makes it look like a watercolor painting. Beautiful! By the way, the GraceNotes have a nice new website . Check it out!
