My husband took these pictures of our Princess in 2006. Princess died in 2010. Pictures like these, to remember someone by, are the reason I chose Photography as a very Good Thing for the letter P.
In these photos, Princess is high above my husband at the top of a rocky cliff that would be a waterfall if we had any water. He's at the bottom. In the third picture she gets it that she won't be able to climb down. So she sits. And then adjusts to the situation.
P.S. ~ Thank you so much for your comments yesterday. I was a bit worried about the post, hoping that I said what I felt clearly and was not offending someone who was old and ill or a caregiver. It is a sensitive subject, and even though I'm not 100% well, I am still so much better off than so many others. I am very much aware of that.
Yesterday, I left here before 9:00 in the morning and came back after 1:00 p.m.. I went to the diabetes support group, doctor, bank, K-Mart, two grocery stores (a less expensive store has recently opened and who doesn't want to save money, but of course they don't have everything, hence two stores), and the pharmacy, twice (drop-off and pickup). I hope I conveyed here how very old and tired I felt when I got back home. Which is the reason I didn't comment on anyone's posts. I will catch up today and over the weekend for sure.
Amazing photos. Love the silhouette effect, if you know what I mean. I find it very painful looking at photos of my old pets who are no longer here but I keep a framed photo of each one on the piano.
ReplyDeleteWow, Princess is beyond gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, Inger. They look like something one might see in a magazine.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous and so is Princess. So sorry that she has now passed on and all you have left are photos and sweet memories of her.
ReplyDeletePets are like family and I still miss mine.
I hope that you have rested nicely.
Hugs,

I imagine the pictures of Princess brought mixed emotions for you. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteYep, go shopping and you're shot... It takes me two days to get over a busy trip like you had. :)
Knowing you are there in 'spirit' is good enough for me, Inger!

It is good that you were able to do all those things. I bet you felt you accomplished a lot yesterday.
