Almost Silhouette

Taking a silhouette photo is on my Summer Manifesto and I have yet to take one. But tonight the light was so delicious, and our little walk was so relaxing, I thought it would be fun to try. Self-timer app + camera phone + sun setting = the above. Not exactly a silhouette but still a fun shot.It actually sums up the two-some we are these days. With H back to school and my busy schedule, it really was freakin' golden to have some quiet time alone this evening. I am so thankful for my four-legged companion.On that note - I want to send love to Elizabeth of Squam. Her beloved dog Henry, whom I adored from afar via Instagram, left this world last weekend. Considering I didn't know him (and don't actually know her), her IG post of his failing health had me bursting into tears. It's amazing how the internet makes the world so small. I thought this dog was the most beautiful, regal prince ever (he could be Carter's dad, no?) and I really felt like one day I would get to meet him. Sadly, that won't be happening. Hoping he's with her in spirit.Even on tough days like the past few, I relish the time I have with my little nugget - walking, cuddling, him following me around, waiting patiently for me in his crate, and how he'll look up from a nap to check on where I'm moving around to in the apartment, then stretch his little toes, give a big old sigh, and fall back asleep.
