she doesn't quite understand stop....or stay

this is my sweet sophie

she's 13 now

and

has never really listened very well

anyhow

yesterday

after a torrential downpour

the sun came out

and

i wanted to play with my

"through the view finder"

contraption

but

sophie didn't really understand what i was asking her for

since

"stop and stay"

means

"run and play"

to her

first she was too close

and

closed her eyes since the sun was so blinding

then she got tired of me begging her to sit still

and

she wandered down the sidewalk

soon she came running back

right at me

with a

"like this"

grin on her face

as i moved to get out of her way

while she was taking a potty break

i took photos of the sky

and

our empty bird feeder

and

then just to show you how crazy fun the "through the view finder" thingy is

well

if you take a photo of something with words on it

they come out backwards

*

if any of you have an old kodak duraflex and want more information on how to take

photos using that and your d-slr {they have to be used together}let me know.

i'll give you a tutorial

*

and

if any of you can tell me how to make sophie sit still when i pull out the camera

i'd love to hear from you

*

ps

did anyone else have problems with blogger yesterday and today

?
