Progress

Well Payton has come a very long way since he first came into our lives and has been bonding with Norman rater well – though at times it still appears that he has a preference for me, for all I am trying to make sure he understand’s that Norman is his primary (Norman keeps telling me its how animals are around me, big time dogs – he might be right but it doesn’t stop the fact that Payton needs to be his constant shadow type deal).

At any rate I am pleased with progress that Payton is making, but like all things there have been set backs and I am struggling how to try and socialize him with other dogs without the other dogs going into aggressive mode for some blasted strange reason – as in there are more dogs that are aggressive then passive so trying to find those he can socialize with and just be a dog is becoming a issue as he is starting to have issues with not being able to play with any dog.

But I can say that having Norman walk him in the mornings instead of me doing it or us as a couple has been a good thing for their bonding, I still walk with them but its in the evening and if we all go out together.

Well post more as time does allow for it.

Photoshoot

Remington logoWell it was a LONG day spent the day at a Golf Course taking photo’s of a tournament that was taking place, it wasn’t a paid position but a voluntary thing – but free food was part of the mix so that was at least something for all there wasn’t much of a option for those who are Vegan or Celiac, but I really didn’t expect there to be a option for that either.

Got up at 6am so I could get everything together and was out the door by 7am and I arrived at 7:45 – 15 minutes before I was suppose to be there (8am). I got my marching orders for the day and started taking random shots and some artistic style shots, mostly playing with the camera (we’d just gotten the Pentax K-50 the week before so it was actually my first event using it).

Summer Solstice

From my family to your’s wishing you all a Merry Summer Solstice, may this turn of the wheel be a good one for you and yours.

A Midsummer’s Celebration – Litha
by Mike Nichols

The young maid stole through the cottage door,
And blushed as she sought the Plant of pow’r;–
‘Thou silver glow-worm, O lend me thy light,
I must gather the mystic St. John’s wort tonight,
The wonderful herb, whose leaf will decide
If the coming year shall make me a bride.

In addition to the four great festivals of the Pagan Celtic year, there are four lesser holidays as well: the two solstices, and the two equinoxes. In folklore, these are referred to as the four ‘quarter-days’ of the year, and modern Witches call them the four ‘Lesser Sabbats’, or the four ‘Low Holidays’.
