Project 365 - Days 297 - 309

297 - 26 October 2021 - Winter again.

298 - 27 October 2021 

299 - 28 October 2021 - And Fall is back again.

300 - 29 October 2021 - So, this was an in-the office work day.  It started off with Daisy and Lucy (but mostly Lucy) encountering a skunk in the backyard. That encounter ended much as you might expect; Lucy got a snooter-full of skunk, and I got my hands and coat sprayed as I was trying to move her away from the skunk. After bathing everyone (including me) in a peroxide/baking soda/dish soap mixture, most of the skunk smell was gone (although I thought I smelled skunk most of the rest of the day). But once the girls were cleaned up, I headed into the office.  To see this sign.  In all fairness, I didn't actually see any bats.  (Two year ago, when I was last in the office for the bat migration, there were several bats that were captured in one of the hallways.)

301 - 30 October 2021 - The leaves finally decided to fall off the aspens, covering the yard and deck and everything, make for nice backgrounds.

302 - 31 October 2021 - Sunrise

303 - 1 November 2021 The girls have gotten very good at sitting together.  The next trick will be  to get them both to look at the camera at the same time.

304 - 2 November 2021 - Did I mention that I like the leaves a background?

305 - 3 November 2021 - Daisy got her official mayoral candidate bandana, and so I had to get photos of the candidate and her campaign manager.

Very mayoral. (Maybe. We'll find out Monday at 11am.)

306 - 4 November 2021 Zoomies!

307 - 5 November 2021 A few photos after work.

308 - 6 November 2021 - Larry came over to deal with all the leaves in the yard (I'm a princess, and Gary is not a leaf raker...), and he brought Einstein over.  Einstein is quite a bit bigger than when we stayed with Larry in August during the fire evacuation, and he's a bouncy boy.  But with a few strategically delivered snacks I was able to get a few photos of Einstein.

"Hand over the snacks, lady."

Einstein is quite the handsome boy!

309 - 7 November 2021 - Larry did an amazing job cleaning up the yard for winter, but, of course, more leaves came down last night. (If the weather holds, I'll rake them up.  If we get snow, they will stay there until the Spring!)  But again, they make for great backgrounds!  

Project 365 Days 287 - 296

Day 287 - 15 October 2021 - if you remember from the last post, we had snow.  We still had snow the next day. At least in the shade.

Mayoral candidate doing her best to become a typical politician.

Day 288 - 16 October 2021 - I had a photoshoot scheduled for the 17th where the lady wanted photos of her Yorkies, and had been going to another photographer in Idaho for decades and she had a very specific look in mind. I knew I could do what she wanted, but I figured it didn't hurt to test out the equipment.

Daisy rather likes being camouflaged!

Sort of like the Cheshire cat her, but it's her eyes that are the last to disappear!

                        

Day 289 - 17 October 2021 - This was the photoshoot with the Yorkies.  Ridiculous wee beasties!  And yes, the owner was very pleased with the photos!  The middle two photos haven't been edited at all - I delivered a bunch of 'proofs' so she could pick the photos she wanted edited.

Day 290 - 18 October 2021 Fun with my Super Snooter Shooter (the 16-28mm, not the crazy wide 10.5mm...)

Day 291 - 19 October 2021 - More snow. Go figure!

                                        

This was also an animal shelter day - we don't usually do Tuesdays but this is how the scheduling of the room we use worked out.

                

Possibly coming to a birthday card near you!

                    

Day 292 - 20 October 2021 

Beautiful black dog.

Day 293 - 21 October 2021 - 

Day 293 - 22 October 2021 - Fridays are my day in the office, and it's always good to see the girls when I get home! These are cell phone photos because I'm always fried out by the time I get home.

Day 294 - 23 October 2021 - Fun with shadows!

Day 295 - 24 October 2021  - Fun in the yard

Sisterly love

Evasive maneuvers, Mr. Sulu!

Day 296 - 25 October 2021 - Leaves

I tried to get some photos of floating leaves - the old 'toss the leaves into the air and get picturesque falling leaves' thing.  This failed for many reasons (couldn't get a decent focus, for one), including the model attempting to catch the leaves. She doesn't attempt to catch anything anymore, and yet she tried to catch the leaves...

At least she didn't try to eat them, here. (I think she had given up trying to figure out what I was trying to do...)  These photos are terrible, but they make me laugh because this was so not what I was trying to do!

But these worked out!
