Seven Days in Black and White

Day One

pet2

I’ve been nominated by Cee at Cee’s Photography to take part in a new photo challenge that’s going around blogdom.

The rules for the challenge are as follows:

  • Seven days.
  • Seven black and white photos of your life.
  • No people.
  • No explanation.
  • Challenge someone new each day

I’m going to skip that last part about challenging someone new each day. If you want to play along, consider yourself nominated!

Thanks for the challenge, Cee. What could be better than a chance to share a bit of one’s life, no explanations expected?

Weekend Wildcard: Cuteness Break

1 WILDCARD

This past week has been a tempest of chaos on many fronts and in many parts of the world. We are in the midst of very stressful times, and with 24/7 media, it is easy to become overwhelmed by all the crazy stuff going on these days.

While it’s imperative to stay engaged — at whatever level seems right at the moment –, it’s also necessary to step back sometimes, unclench my jaws…

and look at photos of cute pets.

I know, I know… Facebook… Instagram… blogs… they’re glutted with fuzzy/furry/feathered little faces.

But you know what? I’m going to happily and shamelessly add to that glut. I’m going to indulge myself in cuteness overload. My blood pressure will thank me, my jaws might stop aching, and I might even lose that recently acquired eyelid tic.

Here’s hoping.

(BTW: Today is National Dog Day, but we’re going to let a couple of cats slip in here, too.)
