Snapshots from a Happy Life

Miss Max

4 Comments

Some photos I took last week of my dad’s dog, Max. In a rare period where she was holding still enough to take a picture.

Max is a girl. Dad likes short easy to spell names, his last dog, also female, was Sam. I guess we kids were lucky that he wasn’t tasked with naming us.

The Barmy Codger himself. He never looks happy, I think it’s the mustache.

I used Topaz Studio 2 Impression and Texture filters on Max, Dad is beyond help.

Gan Xingfu (chasing happiness) 赶兴福

This November I am chasing happiness by photographing and sharing one lovely thing I see each day. I do edit the photos, often with an artistic effect like the one above, because playing with a lovely thing makes me happy.

Note: My son checked with his co-workers and, while they haven’t heard the phrase gan xingfu, they thought it was just fine to use.

There goes the sun da-da-da-deh. And I say: It’s all right.

Today we had sunshine much of the day. It makes a nice break. Sunrise wasn’t much, but the sunset was worth walking a couple of blocks to see.

I learned a new word today: dreich (it’s Scots, I learned it from Jez.). Today was a dreich day. When we were out there wasn’t enough light to take pictures, and it was so dreary that nothing looked very good. But on a dreich day a fire is a lovely sight…As are my lovely furry companions.
