Pilfered Picture Project: Sepia Boys' Week!

Oh, my built-in subjects, outlined here in Sepia. It's boys' week!

Baruch, our Red-Eared Slider, age 3 . . .


Steven, age 6-1/2 . . .

Philip, age 4 . . .

And, Alpha, our Betta, age 1-1/2. Pablo Plecosso, our Plecostomos, is in there somewhere . . . (I think he's behind that oval white rock below and to the right of Alpha)

PPP: Friends

Allie & Joey are our dogs. And they are good friends. Usually. Here, they lean on each other following a particularly grueling run in the park.

Here, they share a really good sniff at the water's edge.

A dog's life. Must be 'ruff' - hahaha.

PPP: Boke 2: Electric Boogaloo (not really)

Found this to add to the sequence. This is Kheimon, ancient Greek Goddess of Winter. A lovely reminder that her icy grip is not long away . . .

I do like the juxtaposition of the spring blossoms behind her ~

Pilfered Picture Project: Boke

Boke (pronounced "BO kay") is the Japanese photography style of focusing on soft, out-of-focus. It's the quality of what is subtly stated versus painfully obvious. And while I am recycling a photo here and technically cheating on the project, it's been a busy couple of weeks, and I just didn't have time.

But, once I found out the subject this week . . . this photo immediately came to mind.

Pilfered Picture Project: View Through

No matter how lovely the subject, not every view through it is a pleasant one . . .
