Now think Royal Thoughts...

Henry: "Thinking Royal."

Henry: "Feeling Royal."

Nicely done, Henry.

Ok Zachary - let's see what you have.

Zachary: "Ta-da!"

(sigh)

Zachary, I'm just not sure the straw hat goes with that royal purple and gold robe.

End of the Season

Zachary: "Well, I guess it's time to box up the Summertime Stuff."
Henry: "Yup."

Zachary: "Hats, beach towels, snorkels - all into this box, here."
Henry: "Hmmm"

Zachary: "One little box."
Henry: "Hmmm"

Snorkels?

Since when did you two have snorkels???

Dog Blog Post #1525

The boys bid Farewell To the Season as they boxed up their summertime hats, beach towels, and snorkels.

Hmmm… looks like there's more stuff Outside the box than inside!

Our Daily Challenge - Aug 30, 2014 - "Outside"

Zachary: "Need a bigger box Mom."
Henry: "You forgot the SCUBA gear."

Any lack of enthusiasm you detect is genuine, as today was Day Spa day and the boys were more interested in snoozing than posing.

Zachary: "Oh… he he he… Hi Mom."

What are you two doing???

Henry: "We made a…"

Zachary: "Tea Pot. A really... fancy… tea pot."

Yes, I made it today.

Yes, I had fun doing it. :)

Daily Dog Challenge 1032. "Distinctive"

I love the way both boys look in a Fedora yet find each wears it in their own distinctive way.

Today was Zachary's day, and I think he looks best as shown here, wearing it straight and level.

Henry strikes me as the Humphrey Bogart type, and so when it's his turn I try to give the hat a bit of an angle.

Now you see it

Now you don't

Ingredients for a Still from common household items:

One Fondue Pot Stand
One Candle Holder
One Copper Tea Pot Cozy
One Copper Mug Sleeve
One Coil of Copper Tubing

Photo Shoot of a Photo Shoot

Now everybody smile...

Zachary: "Cheesy Burger!"
Henry: "Not fair!"

Sorry Henry, let me move the camera over a bit.

There, all better.

Everybody smile...

Zachary: "Cheesy Burger!"
Henry: "Not Happy."

I really am sorry, but it's all fixed now.

Please give me a nice big smile?

1… 2… 3...

Zachary: "Cheesy Burger!"
Henry: "Crunchy Kibble."

Oh come on, Henry.

Let's get that smile all the way up to your ears, ok?

I'll give you extra Cookies…

Zachary: "What???"
Henry: "Cheesy Burger!"

I give up.

Complete with a Tilted, Starts With C Camera.

With the exception of the very first shot, these were all wide aperture, slow exposure shots (~1/15s f2.8) as the big-boy flash wasn't playing nicely with the little camera's LCD.

Oh No!

It looks like someone has Forgotten to plug in Henry's Fan.

While many may think a fan for a dog is Not Necessary, Henry would definitely beg to differ.

Story Time

Zachary: "You're just in time, Mom."
Henry: "Zachary's gonna read me a Scary Story."

Not TOO scary I hope…

Zachary: "Huh?"

Headless Cats?

Zombie Dogs?

The Tell Tale Tail?

Zachary: "Hmmmm"

You DO remember what happened LAST time you read Henry a Really Scary Story, don't you?

Zachary: "Don't remind me."
Henry: "Just because you couldn't find that Zombie under our bed doesn't mean it wasn't there."

How sweet. Looks like Zachary is going to be Reading to Henry.

That's One Smart Dog.

I just hope he doesn't pick something too scary and give the Precious Puppy nightmares!

Photography Assignment

Our Daily Challenge - Aug 24, 2014 - "Reading"

This was my first idea for a Point of View…

Zachary: "Once Upon A Time…"

… but didn't "show" well on the camera LCD and so I switched to a higher camera angle.

Seeing it full-sized, I'm now wondering if I should have stuck with it.

First Day of School

Henry: "It's time to go."
Zachary: "I know."

Zachary: "Promise me you'll be good while you're away at School."
Henry: "I Promise."

Zachary: "Don't forget to study."
Henry: "I won't."

Good grief, guys.

He'll be back again in a few hours.

Zachary: "Still good advice."
Henry: "Hours? I'd better pack a few more Cookies."

Dog Blog Post #1517

Today's images, somewhat unusually, are shown in chronological order - from the lighting/positioning test shot (top) down to the blooper shot (below) that ended the shoot.

As a side effect, it shows how uncomfortable the boys are facing away from the camera and how their heads rotate toward it over time.

Henry: "Wardrobe Malfunction!"

I do love hats on the boys, but some hats are easier to work with than others.

I so wanted to dress them up as the Tooth Fairy, I just couldn't pull the props together.

Note To Self: Buy that white piece of Tulle from the fabric store remnant box (that $1 piece I passed up on yesterday - sigh) to make Fairy Wings.
