It’s no fun when you can’t play
It’s no fun when you can’t play
We had some friends we know from rendezvous come join us in the desert last Tuesday. They live in a snowy place in Utah, and wanted to get out for a while. Understandably. They are thinking of selling their house and going full time too, so they wanted to learn about where the places to boondock in Arizona are.
They have 2 very cute mini aussies, and everyone is getting along famously. I feel incredibly bad for Torrey though because I can’t let her off leash to play, and she can’t go for long walks with them. It’s so sad because these three are the perfect temperament together, and would no doubt have a blast.
The blue merle, Fiji, could be Torrey’s smaller twin.
Yes there were treats involved with getting these photos. Lol
Craig and Rita made pizza the other night, and we had a nice campfire, which is something we never do.
It was fun experimenting with night time campfire photos. The lighting is so completely different.
This photo of the smoke coming out of the log was especially cool. I was glad it actually worked out.
And I honestly have no idea what happened here. The camera was set to take a 20 second exposure, because I was trying to shoot the stars. All I can think is I hit the shutter button unknowingly then moved the camera. It’s kinda neat though.
Saturday we all traveled to Yuma, and we’ll be here for just a short time. We wanted to go to Mexico, and also the fabulous Mexican bakery that is in Yuma. Plus stock up on grocery essentials that you just can’t get in Quartzsite. Our favorite part about Yuma, all the fresh lettuce and veggies. You drive past fields of veggies getting here, so the stores have wonderful fresh stuff. We love it!
Torrey is showing us all how to just stay cool.
Magic. Pure magic.
From the DOGS (adorable) to the smoke from the campfire to the “mistake” – it’s all fabulous FUN.
AND! I shot my first photos in RAW yesterday and successfully resized them and put them up on my Instagram page. I really love them and they have the quality I have been looking for! YAHOO!
Accidents are usually how Mom discovers a new tool in photoshop, or a new feature on her camera. That accidental shot is pretty cool! Love Torrey in the glasses too. Hope she is better soon so she can get back to having fun.
Poor Torrey – all that company and restricted movements. Hope she’s able to be out and about soon, without risk of further damage.
Hello, AWWWW poor Torrey. I love the campfire shots. All the dogs are just adorable. Happy February, enjoy your new week!
So sorry Torrey is still lame. My Husky, Boo, blew out her knee a couple years ago and we took her to a specialist in Orange County, CA who does surgery to repair the knee. Very expensive but Boo is good as new and runs just as fast as ever. Let me know if you would like more info. Good luck.
O I bet they could be the canine version of the three musketeers …that’s so sad that Torrey can’t run for adventures with them :o)the campfire photos are great… they bring back some dreams of summer :o)
Torrey is so cool! Love the image of Torrey and two of the mini aussies. :) <3
Life can be pretty cool sometimes…Love your photo series.
Too bad that Torrey couldn’t run and play with her friends, we hope she gets better soon! Love Dolly
What adorable shots. Poor Torrey!
Those night pics came out really cool. Like Torrey! Poor baby though – not being able to run and play with your visitors. They’re all so cute together!
It always breaks my heart when a dog can’t be a dog!!!…:)JP
Torrey is so patient to wear the sunglasses! ;)
Torrey, you are SO cool. It’s a bummer not being able to play though. We hope she heals up soon so she can get back to that. Sitting around a campfire was always one of my favorite things about camping. The smoke coming out of the log is a very cool photo!
