New Day Dawning

Oh, it was busy this weekend - people visiting, friends stopping by, and we worked Saturday, too, at a market an hour and a half away - and it was Norwegian Day! So, some of the Norwegian scenes, and then Sunday in the Market with Dogs. I saw a lot of pregnant bellies, too - maybe the downturn in the world economies meant more free activities last fall? I hope you had a good weekend. (This is Axel and Zorrito.)

(This lady was the only shot I took on Easter - horribly wet, slow day, but her umbrella and zebra/metallic vinyl purse from B.C. stood out and I honor her effort to combat the bleakness.)

OK, back to Norwegian Saturday - some lovely ladies in lovely outfits:

(The lady in white had the prettiest blue eyes! They were both very upbeat.)

Viking transportation:

The cutest Norwegian bulldog puppy - a girl!

And then it was Sunday, and everybody was out--finally, a beautiful spring day.

(great dresses)

(Capes!)

I love these colors, lavender and teal monochromes:

(I loved this dog's ocean blue collar; and look, cashmere dog coats!)

(the cutest dachshund puppy - they said this was the first time they took her out.)

And then we have this bundle of warm furry floppy French bulldog, with a little pink tongue - one year old!

So, what's next? Well, how about some...dachshunds?

Overhead happiness..

All incredibly squeezable.

(This Doberman just looked really tall after all the dachshunds; a cute little Shibu...)

Cool family, and great oldtime-y musicians, named "Pickled Okra"...

Meeting new friends...a happy walk...

And finally, an homage to the mysterious, sometimes sinister aspects of a cat - the eyes and spoon glow - why?

Entonces, hasta la proxima,
