This week's ABC Wednesday Challenge is the letter N as in Nap and Nose.
Our dog Buddy loves to cuddle under the blankets. A few of the pictures are of Buddy when he was younger, such a tiny thing. You will notice he has blue spots on him, that's because he got into a pen and it was all over him. (you can see my Buddy the Blue Dog Scrapbook page here).

Be sure to see everyone else has posted for their photos at ABC Wednesday Challenge

This is how Buddy sleeps when he's not under the blankets. You can call this his summer time sleep position. When he sleeps like this and I wake up in the middle of the night I go into panic thinking is wrong with him.

This is a recent picture of Buddy's nose.

My World Issue 1

You guessed it I found another Photography meme, I'm in heaven. This photography blogs are awesome because they bring together people from all around the world all walks of live, it's fascinating. That's My World Blog is a blog where you share your town, parks, beaches anything in the world that you love. Come over and check it out.

The pictures I'm sharing with you this week are from our trip to our local town park. The town park has great walking paths and dogs are welcome. It's a great place to take the dog for a stroll. There is also a little stream that is where all the dogs go swimming in the summer (I have loads of those pictures to share at a later time).


This is the little stream. In some spots it is deep and our old camera has seen the bottom of the stream (not a good idea to take the digital camera and dog in the water - wasn't but I won't mention no names though Jeff).

The walking/bike trial.




These two (Jeff - Human Buddy -Dog) are my world so it appropriate for this is my world post. I love this picture because Buddy is actually looking at the camera I had to run ahead them and quick turn around. (Advisory Yes Kayla - Sister you are my world to but blogger only allows so many pictures).

Thematic Photographic 20 Blur - Post 2

This is so addicting. I am in heaven with Thematic Photographic the theme until this Wednesday is blurry pictures. This blog lets you see the not so perfect pictures in a whole new perspective. While I was going through and looking at what other bloggers blur pictures I noticed Buddy (my dog) was sleeping next to me and I grabbed the camera. As soon as I grab that camera he goes into action barking not a mean bark but he keeps barking because he knows it's hard to get a picture with him moving (duh the light just went on I have other settings on my camera I'll have to play with them the next time still learning the settings). I just keep snapping pictures and I do come out with several good ones. Here is my barking I mean blurry dog .

Thematic Photographic 20 - Blur

One blog leads to another blog and then before you know it I stumble across another photography blog. This one is called Thematic Photographic . These one seems very interesting and seems like it's going to be loads of fun.

This week's theme is Blur. We have have those photo's regardless that come out blurry. I had to really go through my recycle bin on my computer to take them out. I have loads of blurry pictures but I already trashed them once I upload them to my computer I keep the nice ones and toss the blur ones. I especially have blurry pictures of Buddy (my dog) because he runs from the camera and I chase after him snapping away in hopes to get at least one good photo.



This first one is of my little sister (age 13) last Christmas. All she wanted for Christmas was an IPOD. The very last present she opened was an IPOD and she started to cry and I went to take her picture and she pushed me away. Here she thought Ha Ha the picture was blurry and it would never be shared. Guess again!!??!


This next set of photo's was taken on our 2006 Walt Disney World Vacation this is the Spectro Magic Light Show (my favorite of all time). The digital camera we had at the time was horrible I hated it. It's hard to tell from these shots but we did manage to get quiet a few good pictures of the parade.

ABC Wednesday - Letter M

Can you believe I have found yet another photography meme? This one is called ABC Wednesday. Each week on Wednesday a new letter of the alphabet is given and you have to post pictures related to that letter. Click here to find out how to join.

Last Wednesday was the Letter M - my photo's are of the Mountains. These are the Catskill Mountains (were I live). These particular photos are in Palenville NY at the Katterskill Falls (the highest waterfall in New York State).

Today's Flowers #11

I have found yet another photography meme. This one is called Today's Flowers. Can you guess what the photo's are, yup that's right flowers!! I have loads of flower pictures to share. Be sure to check out the other photographers at Today's Flowers, there are some gorgeous photos.

These are a few of the Lillies that are in my lilly garden. These are my favorite flower. I love lillies.

I have other color lillies that I will be sharing with you over the next several weeks and yes I do have other flowers that I will share to. Thank you for looking.

Scenic Sunday 14

I came across another photography meme called Scenic Sunday. It's a meme where you share your scenic photo's (landscapes, flowers, buildings, etc.). I love to take photo's especially this time of year I really appreciate the area in which we live in (Upstate New York). If you have any scenic photo's come over to Scenic Sunday and check out the other photographers too.




These mountains are literally in our backyard. It's about a 5 - 10 minute drive not even from our house. This is going up the mountain along the Katterskill Creek in Palenville NY. This is the trail that Rip Van Winkle took (see the sign below). It's a twisty turny ride to the top but what gorgeous scenery surround you on both sides. I have plenty more pictures from our adventure yesterday (10-18-08) we took over 300 pictures. Check this post for a few more pictures and this post for the view of our front yard. (You can click on any of the photo's to make them larger).
