I Heart Faces Weekly Photo Challenge | Furry Faces



It's that time again .... iheartfaces weekly challenge!

The entries are all about the 'furry faces' of our four-legged friends!

I'm going to share one of our dear and sweet cat, affectionately known as, Mr. Mooshie.  This guy has been with us going on 9 years now, and is definitely one of the family.  We found him at the local PetSmart, and fell in love when he was a young 'pup'.  He has a very thick, full gray coat, perky ears, and very large eyes that seem to change color with his every mood.  When we first found him, we put him on our son's shoulders, and he did not want to get off ... he was hopelessly attached!  Needless to say, he found a home in our hearts and we knew that he would be going home with us that very moment! 

He's grown comfortable with our moods and mannerisms over the years, as we have with his.  He knows when we need a 'hug' for comfort, or a happy 'hop' when we need a smile!  If only I could share that picture with you! 

I do believe he's got some 'rabbit' in his blood! Lol!

Sometime ago, 'the Moosh' humbly accepted our second 'adoptee' ... a sweet little stray kitten we discovered on our porch one sunny, October day in '08.  He saw her first, and of course, curiosity got the better of him, so they got to know one another nose-to-nose, through the crack in the door.  Thankfully, there was no hissing, fluffed tails, or bad attitudes, so when the days grew too cold for her, I knew it was time to bring this new little one in ... oh, she'd known it all along, but just waited patiently for us to realize that she belonged here, too!  I would have shared a photo of them together, but, alas, she is quite camera shy!  They get along well, but there are those days when they don't always see eye-to-eye ... still, she knows who's boss around this ranch!  She's known in these parts as Miss Pookie, aka: Pooksie.  Oh yes, those funny, quirky names we give our four-legged 'furry faces'!  They are dear to us, and to one another ... they never cease to bring us joy each and every day!

Photo Challenge | On Your Feet


Well, we're all jumping in with both feet for this week's challenge over at IHeartFaces.  In this case, there is one ... showing that is!  This is my niece, and my two great nephews.  It's a joy to see the love between those adorable little brothers!

You can see more 'footwork' by clicking the link above, or the logo below the picture!  I'm headed over there now to see some, myself!  I'm so glad you dropped by, and I hope you all have a blessed week!

A Touch of Sun | I Heart Faces Weekly Photo Challenge






It's been a little while since I entered the I Heart Faces weekly challenge and I've missed it!  I really love the theme of 'A Touch of Sun', and all the amazing images you can see over there, this week!  I wanted to share an image from a recent senior portrait session .. my first to be honest!  It was nearing sunset, in the country, and when I brought this into LR3 and edited the original in color, I wasn't really happy with the result ... so I made it color-less.  It is quite a bit sharper this way, and she really liked it, as well.  To see some fabulous 'sun-lit' images, just click-n-go now!  Hope you all have a great week!  Fall is in the air here, and I'm lovin' it!
