Peaches and Cream ~ YUM!

















At this time of year - I can't help but think of recipes that involve peaches, especially Freestone Peaches. I can't tell you exactly why - but seriously, if you have not had them before - go get them! Here is an article that was just in the Boston Globe Magazine this past weekend ~ all about peaches. Some fantastic recipes by Adam Reid, shot by Jim Scherer and styled by Catrine Kelty.

It's just another dog day...........











The question would be, is she walking the dogs or are they walking her??? It's pretty funny to me because that's often how I feel when I walk my dog ~ and he's a little guy! What personalities our four legged friends have, love them!

Going to the DOGS........















Topher recently did a production down in the Caribbean and it was amazing. All of the work looks so real that I think the client even questioned it! The dogs were fabulous and are heroes, but aren't they heroes almost all of the time? I have enjoyed working with animals for shoots, over the years, and give loads of credit to them and to their handlers ~ who have worked tireless hours with these fabulous dogs. That said, I am sure the trainers have gotten back the love two~fold from their special friends.

This also brings to mind how much of a role animals play in our everyday lives. Animals are SO intertwined with families and in many cases - are our families! I think of how much I love having our dog, Frasier, and recently some friends have lost their "dogs" ~ the family members. This loss is profound and I feel for them. Prayers and good thoughts are needed for our friends ~ fury and otherwise.

This post is in honor of Levi and Wilbur...........you were amazing animals ~ thank you for all you did to fill lives with love, hope and dreams!!

Dogs, Walks and girls............











Well, on these "dog days" of Summer - I certainly hope that all the doggies are getting taken care of and meeting with LOTS of love and long walks with their owners. Susan and Nicholas seem to find a cool way of pulling these shots together, producing them - but still feeling like the expected "real life" moments. Take a look at more of their work..........
