Photography

Last night my husband and I went in to Den Haag to meet up with some other photo club members for an evening of portrait photography.  I have been looking forward to it for quite some time because I really like the social gatherings of the group and because I wanted to try to dip my toe into the portrait …

A rawhide addict, that is… Unlike Bailey, who just grabs it and spends hours hiding them in different spots all over the house, Pixel loves rawhide bones. If there is rawhide in the house, it’s hers.  What’s hers is hers and what’s Bailey’s is hers.  That’s the law in Pixeltown. It doesn’t matter what size, shape or color, she does …

On Sunday while I was out watching the marathon I saw these three boys.  They were having such a laugh that I had to get my camera out and get a photo.  Two of the boys had their jackets pulled up over their heads pretending to be headless while tormenting the boy in the middle.  All three of them couldn’t …

For all the years I’ve been living here I’ve never once bothered to go check out the Rotterdam Marathon.  It just wasn’t something I was interested in at all.  This year I thought I would go and watch, partly because I’m hellbent on getting out and being more involved in things that go on here, but also because I have …

Today’s we had an early visit from the Easter Bunny! Clearly nobody has ever warned him about chicks on diets…

This afternoon I was sitting in my living room watching TV and thinking about how crappy the weather was outside when I happened to look out our front window .  That was when I noticed this rainbow.  I tend to leave half of the curtains closed because we live across from a tall building full of seniors who are very …

Last night I went to my first Rotterdam Challengers game here in Rotterdam.  A friend of mine (who will remain nameless to save her from being hounded for favors) told me she had a friend who could get her free tickets so I was like, oh HELL yeah!  I love basketball! I’ve been to many basketball games back in Canada, …

On February 14, 2010 (Valentine’s Day) the Lock of Love art piece was placed in Rotterdam’s popular district of Delfshaven.  The Lock of Love ritual has been taking place all over the world, and is now here in Rotterdam as well.  Not just a rail on a bridge or a chain around a lamppost, this work of art has love …

Bailey (top right) and Pixel (bottom right) peacefully engaging another dog.  A rare occasion indeed! This week’s Photo Hunt theme is Daily.  One thing that is a part of our daily life, come rain or shine, is walking the dogs… and the drama that comes along with it.  I snapped this photo last week while we were out for a …

Yesterday morning we woke up and it was foggy and grey. Not exactly what we hoped for on a Sunday morning but it would have to do.  I had a lot of housework that I was avoiding, so I asked my husband how he’d feel about going for a drive so I could take some photos.  He was up for …

Tonight when I was getting ready to make dinner I saw a beautiful amber colored glow in our dining room.  I looked out to see what was happening outside and saw the sun setting behind our building.  I know when I start seeing the lovely gold and purple sunsets that spring is well on it’s way.  I ran to get …
