Swim and Chill

As Nathan is most likely off to breed Adele tomorrow, we had to fit in Maddie and Sadie swimming. I could take them but then who would click their photos?

Sadie is a really strong swimmer but when it came to going back in she was having none of it. We don't ever force the situation. The goal is enjoyment. I will try her again when she goes home if she shows interest. Maddie seemed to like it and swam well. 

It was a tad cooler and the dogs appreciated the breeze. Everyone has become accustomed to Murphy and soon Rafi will arrive and will have to do a meet and greet. He will adjust as well. 

Silly me just realized this weekend is a holiday. 

Here's the gallery.

Oh Darlah, you are such a truly wonderful photographer. Those shots of faces, bodies, Nathan sleeping hahaha, they are all just beautiful. Many of them could win awards I am sure. I especially think those of Jesse helping Nathan sleep are precious. Did you take photography courses, i am assuming you must have.

No photography classes. Just try and learn and read and learn. Not perfect but manage to capture memories without photoshopping which has become prevalent. What is real. what is not?

Has anyone notice in this gallery that Roxie jumps in and out of the day lilies smashing them every which way. They end up with yellow from them on their hair. Oh Roxie good thing I live you. hahahaha

Really enjoyed todays gallery. Jessie is so photogenic. I love the pix of Inula smothering Nathan's face with kisses.
Roxie must find the Day Lilies an effect towel after a swim.
