I love the color contrast in this photo. It’s also composed really nicely – the perspective is so effective and it feels like it could be a place in a fairy story.

One of the favorite toys around our house is the wap. It’s great for playing the shake and kill game, as well as tug of war. Now that Coraline is teaching Brodie how to play games like the latter, we’re seeing more independent (e.g.: not requiring us) play. Yay! Of course they don’t always play in a way that makes sense. Coraline likes to grab the wap as close as possible to the place where Brodie is biting it, which in turn makes him get all growly and over-possessive. Baby steps.
Sometimes she gets it and grabs the other end, though.
After awhile she usually gets tired of this game and abandons it for a different toy. That suits Brodie just fine as he can then spend some quality time slobbering the wap within an inch of its life.
He looks so dignified, but we know better.
We’ve had more rain than snow this winter. It’s weird, but it makes it feel like spring is just around the corner!
I added a new Blythe to my collection in the not too distant past, a custom girl I’ve christened Ash. She’s got a mohair reroot and I spent a little time this weekend giving her a hair treatment. I started out by carefully combing out her hair with a wide tooth comb.
Which of course made it HUGE. Buckwheat would be proud.
Then I gently massaged conditioner into the hair, making sure to reach all the hair, even the stuff on the inside (surrounded by other hair).
Then I set the timer for 30 minutes and waited.
The next step was to rinse very carefully. You don’t want to agitate mohair while it’s wet, so rinsing thick hair is a somewhat tedious process. You also want lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold. This took awhile.
Then I hung her out to dry.
And voila! Lovely curls!
I haven’t gotten into birding too heavily yet, but it is yet another hobby I’m interested to explore. Photos like this one encourage me to get into it!
Thanks to Bryan and Jess for CC licensing this photo. One of the auto settings on my new camera is for situations in which the subject will be moving quickly. It can shoot a bunch of photos right in a row – perfect for Coraline!
At this point I’m just blinding shooting with this setting – just taking a buttload of photos and seeing what turns out. So far, the results are at least amusing if nothing spectacular.
I like the way that Brodie and Coraline are in quite similar positions in this one:
Hahaha! Who knew Brodie’s back legs went like that?
In this last one, I like to think that Coraline is creeping around on tip-toe on her back legs.
