2|52: Intention
PHOTO INFO Nikon D850, 50mm lens 1/2000 | f/1.8 | ISO 1000 THE STORY My goal for this week was to try to capture a bit of the light streaming through the dining room window. Bonus capture: my sweet girl, Bleu, taking a nap. ABOUT THE 52 WEEK PROJECT I get ambitious at the beginning of every year and start photography projects that I never finish. This year will be different. I will complete this project because I want one of those pretty little end-of-year photographic wrap-ups that I see on Instagram. So this year I’m going to try real hard to finish this challenge hosted by Sue Bahen with…

Bleu’s Blues {How We Discovered Her Heartworms}
My sweet girl has heartworms. Her treatment started a little over a month ago, when she was put on Doxycycline, an antibiotic, to prevent infection from bacteria that inhabit the heartworms. She took one pill a day for about 30 days. Sometimes, she’d take it in her food, but most of the time we gave it to her in peanut butter. I never tried just giving the pill to her because picking up a soggy, disintegrating pill was not how I wanted to spend my mornings. After she finished her antibiotics, I scheduled the first of two hospital visits for injections. Bleu was given an injection of Immiticide to kill…

Where Bloggers Love: Valentine’s Day Edition
Welcome to the Valentine’s Day edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s a given that I love The Hubs, our kids, and grandkids. If you’re not sure about my affections for The Hubs, you can read my 10 on the 10th post. In it, I share ten reasons why I love The Hubs. And, now that our kids are adults, I don’t really talk about them on my blog too often. Our grandchildren are young, but I never write about them or share photos of them without their mother’s permission. It’s a matter of respect for them and their privacy. MEET BLEU At the urging of The Hubs, Bleu joined our…

This week has been the longest month ever. Monday was a nice day off. We didn’t do too much of anything, but Tuesday? I broke my glasses. Y’all, I cannot see a thing without my glasses. It’s not like I was doing anything rough. I. Was. Cleaning. Them. And they snapped in half. Fortunately, I keep all of my old glasses whenever I get a new pair {I can’t give them my glasses because I need to see} so I…

Bleu Wednesday: Her Story
unedited. Nikon D7500 | 15mm | f/5 | 1/125 | ISO – 1000 Sunday, 18 August 2019, 7:40:00 AM edited. Do you remember Wordless Wednesday? It was a big thing when I first started blogging a bizillion light years ago. Bloggers would simply post a picture on Wednesdays. No words. No descriptions. Just a picture. It was a way to practice our photography and update our blogs without the stress of having to come up with full blown content. But, mostly, it was a way to connect and share a moment in our lives. I miss those days. The days before everyone was focused on monetization and accumulating follows.…

Welcome, Bleu Chrys! Our Rescue Pup!
Hi, I’d like for y’all to meet Bleu Chrys. Isn’t she adorable? She’s a 13 month old Terrier mix and she has already stolen our hearts. If you’d like to see more of Bleu on Instagram, follow her hashtag #BleuChrys. It sounds so trite to say that our rescue rescued us, but she really did. Like I said on Instagram, the month of July was a hard one for me: my friend and coworker passed away unexpectedly and Squeekerz had to be put to sleep the morning of my friend’s funeral. Two big blows in the space of two weeks’ time. And I was also dealing with some personal things…
