Mitzi the Explorer... by vignouse

Mitzi the Explorer...

This is for the first B&W Fortnight challenge - B&W Gardens. It's also to fulfill the promise that you would see more of our new puppy Mitzi who was 12 weeks old yesterday.
Very nice use of tne wid angle. Love the sky and Mitzi is a cute, lucky pup.

this is a charming place, love the little house, I would love to have one like this

@parisouailleurs It's our garden room where we can be outdoors indoors - our pet name for this chalet is Le Petit Trianon!

What a gorgeous garden and garden room, not to mention little Mitzi!

Looks quite idyllic - wonderful clouds - they have an infrared look. So nice to see Mitzi - I'm hoping to photograph Betty's paws for tomorrow's se7en photo. Gosh - I miss Lotto soooo much.

@jocasta I know, I know Joy - if you see the leftmost bush in the front rockery, it's beneath there that our beloved Princesse is taking the 'sleep of ages'... since we did 'the kind' but oh so hard thing 31 October last year. As you see - Mitzi likes it there...

Looks so peaceful. Nice in b/w.

Good thing it's a fortnight. I haven't tried yet. Camera setting, get-pushed, bw fortnight omg how do I fit in work?

I want to sit at those chairs and just have a little vino.

@joansmor Buy a plane ticket and it could become reality as fast as you thought it!
May 21st, 2014  
@joansmor ...and we built the summer house there because it's the last place in the garden to receive the rays of the setting sun... it's the Golden Hour place!

Oh, how wonderful. Oh, I have a few more comments to review and then too bed. What are you doing still up.
May 21st, 2014  
@vignouse Don't tempt me.
May 21st, 2014  
@joansmor Personally I can resist absolutely everything... except, temptation - and for that I crack every time!
May 21st, 2014  
What a pretty yard...and I'm sorry about princess. Also, I want in on the vino!
May 21st, 2014  
Wonderful with those fluffy clouds!
May 21st, 2014  
What a great garden.. Mitzi looks great too!

fav. Love this in bw

Liking the picture too, have had an issue myself with gardens in black and white, as the photos seem to loose a lot of the lovely colours.
Somehow you have kept the brightness of your garden incredibly well.
I have checked the route and could be there in 9hrs 45 mins if I go Plymouth to Roscoff! Make that 10hrs and 45 mins if I stop off at the hypermarche for a couple of bottles :)

This is great in BW. The structure leads you in and up to LePetit Trianon for your glass of the local wine, and a BBQ too! I think you might be having a party of 365ers soon!
May 21st, 2014  
@gabisutton Thanks Gabi - FWIW, what you can see here is just less than a quarter of our yard!
May 21st, 2014  
@archielogical Thanks Archie, but 'a couple of bottles'... you're not taking this seriously ;-)

A lovely shot - it's not easy to get an effective garden shot in b&w, but this works well!

OK. So now I have house, garden AND puppy envy.... will it never end?? My old boxer went last September. Cannot believe how traumatic it was/is. Desperate for a puppy but it's just not the right time for us just now. Will need to check out the b&w fortnight thing... sounds like my kind of theme!
May 21st, 2014  
Oops. PS - fab shot, love the b&w and your puppy is super gorgeous.
May 21st, 2014  
Your background looks lovely in B&w.........love the clouds and your special golden hour place.
Mitzi is adorable!

I have a dream to have a place in France someday, personally it's more of a pipe dream than anything that will actually happen unless I win the Lotto! Beautiful garden and looks good in b&w - Mitzi is a lucky puppy to have so much space.

So sweet, beautiful shot and composition. Looks great in b&w
