day hike

Last weekend Josh and I snuck away for about an hour to take Hannah on a little nature hike. She isn’t very well behaved off leash, and we figured she couldn’t do much harm out in the wilderness. I took my camera in hopes of capturing a few snaps worth sharing (even after listening to loads of griping from Josh about how he didn’t want his picture taken).

Luckily, I managed to get a few good ones, and even had Josh snap a picture of me for sharing. (Keep in mind, that I had to setup the shot, stand where I wanted him to stand and give very specific instructions before I could get him to cooperate. Can you tell he is a little sick of my camera?).

It was gorgeous outside, and the perfect time of day for that soft light I adore in my photography. (Quite a stark contrast from the wet, cold rainy mess it is this weekend). At least I have these images to make me feel all warm and sun drenched.

I’m always a sucker for black birds against a blue sky. (Even if they are mean old crows). Besides, Hannah barked at these two and told them who was boss. (She loves to bark at the birds in our yard, who always seem to take up residence there. Somehow she thinks they are intruding on her space, even tough her space is actually inside on the sofa. I swear our dog wouldn’t step foot in the yard if she didn’t have to tinkle every now and then. Such a princess!)

Here’s to blue skies, and sunny day hikes in your weekend forecast!

Cheryl ~ Casual Cottage Chic - Your pictures added some sunlight to a very dreary day here today!
Our doggie is curled up, sound asleep as the wind howls and the rain pours from the cloud. And Cocoa, our tuxedo cat…he just covers his face and curls up tight. He has the right idea!
