Friday Foto Finish Fiesta, 2009.08.07

Filed under living with me

Late this afternoon I was trying to get some candid pictures of my favorite redhead.

Everything was going great until he noticed.

Then he had to pick his feet.

I told him to look off into the distance. This was the result of that instruction. He did exactly what I said, but not what I meant.

“Can you take a picture of me calling the dog,” he asked.

Here is a picture of a posed child with a great smile and a dog with one very white eye.

And a fake smile on the little boy and two evil-looking white eyes on the dog.

Boy looking directly at the dog, dog smiling.

I am happy with this picture. In addition to a very handsome boy and the dog finally having a closed mouth, our property looks lush and green.

Alas, we are not lush and green. Cammie is demonstrating that she lives in a land being ruled by Creeping Charlie.

Are you ready for some entertainment? Join us! We are low-maintenance, non-shedding, and more fun than whatever it is you are supposed to be doing!

1. In your Phriday personal post, include a phavorite photograph (like how I did that?) and a brief description of why it is your phave. Anything at all works for me … one picture, more pictures, a video … even if you participate it another blogger’s Friday event you can double up as long as you link back to me within your post.

2. My advice is that you jump on board now bephore everyone in the nation gets involved and there are no mega-giga-y2k-bytes lepht phor you!

3. Mr. Linky and I have finalized our divorce. Leave a link to your blog within your comment, we’ll find you and visit your place. I pinkie promise.

4. As always, if you have any questions or just want to chat about cats or kids or what I am going to do with the ten spare hours I now have every Phriday, you can contact me at candidcarrie at gmail dot com!

5. Try to remember to link back to me, if you don’t know how or would like some help, I’ll gladly assist you!

Let the Phestivities begin!

    I tried MCKLinky this week, but wasn't thrilled with how much room it took up… :(

    Great pictures, but I must admit that is one mean looking dog, but I am sure he is very sweet. Reminds me of a sweet dog that use to roam around my apartment, first time I saw it I froze, it was so mean looking, ha ha.

    Here's my link:
    I've been using Mcklinky and pretty happy with the results!

    I love his poses! Boys are so much fun to photograph because their idea of cooperation is so different from a girls. It cracks me up every time (even as it frustrates me). =)

    Your red-head is adorable (Spanish pronounciation, please), posed or no. Thanks for sharing these Superior Snaps!

  16. Tiffany McCallen says:

    At least your little man stands still. Mine just runs around the yard screaming, "Whee!" Stop by my blog today to see a sampling of more ironic small-town charm: http://mccallenmusings.blogspot.com/2009/08/friday-photo-fiesta-small-town-charm.html

  17. Tara @ Feels like home says:

    I can't remember whether I already mentioned this to you, but I've switched to MckLinky. It's free, and it is largely error free. Much more reliable, too.

    Anyway, my post is here -http://www.feelslikehomeblog.com/2009/08/birthday-buddies/

    Here's my post for this week, and a little sneak peek at what Momma will be doing for herself in a few weeks:
    Heh.

  22. This Mom says:

    I tell you I loved pictures of your red head. I really wish I had one. But I shared a tender moment between siblings. Stop by and see.

    Super-cute photos! I love the last one of your son and Cammie. Cute! You're right about the green in the photo too.

  29. greeneyedmom says:

    I like photos where they're looking in the distance. My son would probably have done the same thing if I asked him to do that.
