Just hanging out in the backyard today, and I found this wonderful look up photograph of the dogs. Aria and Gypsy are fast friends - when they aren't snarling each other. I searched around in my photos for a complimentary look down photograph and found this paw print from a walk in the nearby open space. I don't know what varmint left the track, but I'm sure the dogs would love to find out! I've been playing along with Helena's look up//look down meme for just over one-fourth of the year and this is the first time I've looked around my photos to find a good match. I think my approach to this meme is evolving. I really want an aesthetically pleasing pair or a pair that tells a story. So the photos don't necessarily have to be taken at the same time, in the same space. If you've been playing along with an annual photo meme, have you noticed that your approach has evolved as the year has gone along?
I'm certainly trying to have little stories within my pairings each week, though, I am trying to take them at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLove your top shot today!
I'm not taking part (yet!) but loving people's take on this theme. It hadn't crossed my mind that the pictures didn't have to be taken at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI,too, simply assumed they were taken at the same time....but really like your idea of pairing them like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the expression on Aria's face.
Yes, I like stories that can be told and saved in my photos. Always fun to work out what photos would go well together. Nice to see these two together, glad they are friends some of the time :)
ReplyDeletegreat photo of the dogs (and I love the green and rust colours in the background).
ReplyDeleteI don't always take my pair at the same time
I don't always take mine at the same time either but I like them to be a pair. I love the look on Arias face & the tilt of her head, she is watching and listening to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing this one, but from the posts I'd seen I had always thought it was the same time - however it does make sense to be able to put a story and show two photos that really fit together like this.
ReplyDeleteI too like the idea of the photos having a story.
ReplyDeleteI try to make mine a pair...usually taken at the same time

It's fascinating seeing the way this meme has taken you Rinda - and I love these photos and the way they are linked. I have your name from Sian as my recipient on the on the Great Big Swap of Small Things, so have emailed you. J x
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your pals.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Aria reminds me so much of my Sarge, who was around for almost 15 years! Love that look!
ReplyDeleteYou have reminded me that I have an few up/downs to post. Love the photo of your dogs, and I wonder who made that print...
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures Rinda. I love the look on Aria's face. It makes me think she's wondering ok how do I get by Gypsy. I like the idea of telling a story with your 2 pictures. I'm going to try that a bit more.
