kathleen that's exceptional!!!! i remember a bike ride and coming down the road toward me was a car. two huge dogs - one on either side of the car - had poked their massive heads out the windows and were barking at each other as fast as they could! i could hear them coming and i could still hear them long after they had passed me. they looked like they were having the best game!!! steven
This is a wonderful shot. Love those faces which appear to be floating.. and the one reflection in the window.. all to be reflected in the mirror. Great job.
@Jinksy: Wow. That is one powerful poem. Such spare language (a style I love) and so evocative. The children's voices and hurtling metal -- scary combo. Well done!
@Joycee: You're so funny! That's exactly what Mr. B said when he looked at the photo -- and he wasn't drinking in Acai juice! Have a great week and holiday!
@Barb: Well, Charlotte's ears are certainly long enough to flap, that's for sure. She also has the longest tongue of any dog I've seen. Glad she kept that inside!
@Melissa: LOL!!! I know what you mean. Thank you so much for the visit! (and permission to use your wonderful dog image, too!) I'll let you know when it's up.
Incredible image, just wonderful...had to look hard to be sure it wasn't a two headed dog. Thanks Hilary...another found gem for Post of the Week mention.
@Moannie: I must admit, I did a double take, too, when I looked at outside. Glad I was able to fumble my camera out of my cramped purse fast enough to catch to two-headed urchin!
@Janie: Wow...that coming from you, the master of critter photos, is a true honor! Thank you, my dear. And thank you Cora and Charlotte for risk your "necks" so that I could have an interchange with so many fine folk!
@Brian: Yeah, they're pretty silly. No grandkids yet and with an empty nest I have to entertain myself with these urchins! Had a wonderful, restful thanksgiving. And while I didn't mention my blogging friends when we went around the table, because everyone is tired of hearing me carry on about them, I most certainly said a little prayer of thanksgiving to myself. I am eternally grateful to have discovered your blog!

Rush
"Are we nearly there, Mum,
are we nearly there?"
Children's voices whine.
Tense hands grip steering wheel
as distracted mother attempts
to negotiate rush hour traffic.
"Soon", her short answer
bites. She flicks her hair,
glances at her reflection,
doesn't see the lorry turn.
Freeze-framed silence numbs,
before brakes screech,
metals grind. Over the cacophony
a ghostly echo reverberates.
" Are we nearly there, Mum,
are we nearly there?"
You can imagine how relieved I am that it was the former. I mean... there ARE two dogs in that photo, right?
joycee at grannymountain
the photo is exceptional
the perspective is wonderful and there is just so much to see and feel
Great picture and post.
much love
Mine love to ride in the front seat with me. They all want the front seat, so they have to take turns.
Congrats on the POTW from Hillary.
