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 . . .

Pilfered Picture Project: Colour

We went out with some friends and met more at the bar. The bar is Kingfish, on the water in Bay City. As we stood out on the dock, near a friend's boat, I looked back at the Colour of the neon lights, reflected on the River.

Pilfered Picture Project: Landmark

And, oh, what a Grand landmark she is! We had drinks in the Cupola Bar - yes, up in that cupola on top of the Grand Hotel. It was pouring rain that night, and pitch black outside, but it was amazing.
