Ah....Vacation! by taffy

Ah....Vacation!

This is Bella's "sister," Sadie -- also visiting with her people this week. She wanted to have a chance to be a star like Bella, but she's a Bernese Mountain Dog, the same breed as our beloved Nutmeg who we lost after a long illness last summer while on the island. Bernie's are the antithesis of Golden's. This is classic. While Bella seeks ball-throwing, running, frisbees, etc., Sadie seeks cool spots to sleep between bouts of extreme energy use like going for a walk.
For ONS8 - SOOC. Hard for me, but not a drop of editing!
Have hit the wall tonight re working on a never-ending proposal, still coughing annoyingly often, and trying to be a better host! Tomorrow I'm committed to an all day photo shoot volunteering for the Beaver Island Garden Tour. Long way of apologizing and providing excuses for my lack of commenting. Today, my only photos were of Sadie and what we served for dinner! Oh, and a bug on our window...posting one last triptych of Sadie in extras album - http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2014-07-15 . Then sleep!
Awwww! What a sweet face!

Stay right there, Sadie ... I'd like to sit next to you and have a snuggle!

Gorgeous! Hope you get to rest up a bit.

What a beautiful girl.

Great SOOC...lovely comp and exposure. What would you say, Taffy: does conversion from RAW to jpeg comprise "editing", or do you need to shoot in jpeg to really make it SOOC?
July 16th, 2014  
Rather see this darling mountain dog than a bug on the window! I'm sure you will enjoy the day's photo taking - well the actual day but afterwards - so many photos to edit and look at!
July 16th, 2014  
What a beautiful dog, It sounds like you have been busy. Looking forward to some photos from the garden tour :)

So gorgeous! Bernies sound like a lovely breed ! You must miss Nutmeg even more now you are back on Beaver Island! Now I have Finlay I can really understand your loss! Have you thought about getting another? The garden tour sounds interesting! Take it easy and enjoy yourself! Plenty of time to catch up with 365!

No need to worry over not commenting..it happens to all of us from time to time. I start school again in TWELVE short days. Then I won't be able to get on here as much. Sigh. Take care of yourself.

I just gasped . . . and then I read your post.

missing nutmeg :(
July 17th, 2014  
@jyokota Me too...but I should have titled it "not nutmeg" or something to not make people think they were seeing a ghost!
July 17th, 2014  
Aww Sadie looks so tired, so cute. It must have been hard to have the same breed there to reminds you of all the memories of last summer.
July 18th, 2014  
Super shot. My sister has one of these dogs and she lies like this all the time, following you round with her big eyes.
