The Exhibit Project: Apart

This month’s 3rd installment of The Exhibit Project (see previous posts here & here)  had us exploring the topic “Apart”. Well I thought about this a long time.. and I am sure most people will use apart to mean being away from another. However I decided to take the word apart and use it as “a part” as in being part of something.

Here’s the story behind today’s images.

I went for a hike close to my mom’s house one day…which is in the SF Bay Area. I’m not gonna lie I was huffing and puffing along the way. I ran into a herd of cows… and I was seriously scared… as my dog and I came up to their line of sight they all stopped eating grass and STARED at us. I was seriously waiting for them to charge us. So I hurried my dog past them as we both carefully looked back to make sure we didn’t have to run for our lives!  Then we saw this guy on a 4 wheel thing of some kind, powering around with 2 dogs. Those dogs looked like they were having so much fun. and then FINALLY  we reached the very top and looked down….

as we stood there I was so in awe that I am a part of this world and specifically the amazing SF Bay Area.. where a 40 minute hike leads you to another world far away from the hustle and bustle.

Digby & Penny! (pet photography)

I recently gave you a sneak peek of these two, as my way of helping you not go into cute dog overload. Today You get the whole amazing overload of cute pictures!!! At the end of the post you might feel the way you feel after a day at the fair, so full but oh so happy and can we do it again?

I met up with Liz of Trick Dog Treats and 2 of her kids for a pet session in the beautiful downtown Burlingame, CA. If you have furry dog kids and you haven’t “liked” Trick Dog Treats, you should totally run over there and “like ” the page to see where you can get your kid (s) some treats!

Meet Penny.

She immediately won my heart. She is a total fireball!!!  She investigated everything! And loved eating the grass!
