Taken on same day (7/10) as the UFO umbrella shot, during one of Danbo and Little Danbo's play dates. They know that too much sun can be harmful s Danbo was quite disturbed when the umbrella kept blowing over.
Reminder: Album Cover 33 is going on -- totally fun and we're hoping you'll join us in the creative challenge! You can read the directions and see early submissions if you go to the discussion thread: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/22986/album-cover-challenge-33-begins
Only good thing today - picked up good friends this morning who are visiting us along with their two wonderful dogs (Bernese Mountain Dog and Golden Retriever -- fun), but have come down with a horrible cold, raining tonight and supposedly cold tomorrow...but it has to look better in the morning. Off to see if 'rest is the best medicine' actually works. Too tired to deal with photos from today.
Keep up the good work. You are definitely getting the hang of the lensbaby now. Shame Danbo is such a dull colour! Something vibrant would have really caught the eye.
@silver_fox Danbo means 'box' in Japanese. If you go on Amazon or eBay, you can see the figure and if you use 'danbo' as a search tag, you'll see tons of shots featuring him as a main subject on 365. I had never heard of him til this sight and bought one last year (along with a crystal ball). Some people have done whole months of Danbo. The little Danbo is a new purchase when I was in Japan. It's tiny and is the kind of thing kids hang from their backpacks.
Hope you recover quickly Taffy, I've just had an awful flu, all gone now though. I really like this, I think the focus is perfect for this whimsical shot.
Remember the LB14-tag, as well!
