The last picture of my project, phew, I did it. Day 50 coincided with my birthday and it was a fabulous one. I got an awesome tripod as a gift from hubby, and its got me all excited to try out slow shutter speed and night time photography.
Got to click a picture of this dandelion before Kicky could blow the hell out of it. She loves chasing dandelions, so do I but she always beats me to it.
Isn't she adorable? Kicky was at her friend's birthday party and I stayed back and clicked a few pictures. Didn't want to publish pics of the party but couldn't resist pics of Kaiser, at least that's what I think they called her.
The thing about "Lady Dog"; I've always found the word "female" a tad rude especially when referring to someone. And once while talking with friends the words "lady dog" just came out, I still call the grown up girlie dogs 'Lady Dog' and I think they deserve that kind of respect. And I kid you not, Kicky once asked me while looking at a dog, "Mama is that a lady dog?" I felt warm and proud, because I don't remember teaching her that phrase, it came out of her own sense of things.
To all the Lady Dogs!
What I love about summer is just being able to slip on my shoes and get out. No tugging, pulling and tying up heavy winter shoes which in times of emergency can also be used as a lethal weapon, both on and off your feet.
This winter whilst shopping for winter boots, I put on pair which needed two people to take off. While I held on to the bench sticking out my leg the shop assistant heaved and huffed and finally got the boots off. I told her I'd take a look around and come back later, but I knew that wasn't gonna happen and she was probably praying fervently that I didn't.
The joys of easy slip on, slip off shoes!
Sometimes I don't blame the little one when she complains about me taking too many pictures. If you notice the pictures on Day 43 she was actually quite unhappy that I was clicking away. And she didn't want to be in the pics.
On this day however she actually asked me to take her pictures. Also, she's quite good at posing naturally, oxymoron I know, but she knows how to do it. We had fun doing this shoot.
Oh the joys of bright and sunny days. Kicky and I were out in the park enjoying the summer sun. Also, the ice lollies make it even better.
The sun came out in its entirety over the weekend. It was almost 27 degrees and I almost got a sunburn. We were at the beach on Saturday. if you have an image of a beautiful shore, golden sand and sunbathers galore, stop right there. This beach was more like a cousin twice removed of a beach in Mangalore, suffice to say even Ullal beach could kick this beach's ass. But it's nice to be around a water body on a sunny day.
We had a barbecue going which as usual was manned by Santhosh. With good food, cold beer and the warm sun it was an awesome way to spend a Saturday.
Well, guys may disagree but I think baskets are awfully cute on bicycles. Other than the ornamental value it's quite practical too. I loved how this lady's basket was decorated with flowers; though plastic, it just gives you the feeling that summer is here.
