Autumn Rain & Wet Dogs

20131029-193_960_textured_btdd

Do you have a dog who is less than eager to go out in the rain? Yes, Becky is the stubborn dog in our house! It seems she knows all about the saying "misery loves company" because she happily trots down the street as long as I am out getting wet with her!

While Becky and I were puddle jumping I noticed the sidewalk was covered in bright coloured leaves. Ah my deary day was saved.

I scooped up a bunch of leaves to take home and photograph while I waited for the rain to pass.

Winter is dead; spring is crazy; summer is cheerful and autumn is wise!

Thank you Kim Klassen for the soft texture "kk_anna" used on the first and third photographs. 
As well, also thank you to Brooke Shaden for her texture series "White Hill Mansion"
Head over to Nurture Photography for tips on table top photography. I find a lot of great inspiration and from them and they are all so giving in their time to help others learn the art of fine art photography.

Nurture Photography Challenge - Autumn 2013 Edition
Nov 8 Brown/Tabletop

Missed the deadline to link up for Nov 1 Purple/Spooky but you can find it at "Bark'n About". It appears the dogs had a HOWL-o-ween tail er tale of their own to tell.

oh oh oh these are stunning photos! Yup our Yorkie hates rain and needs reluctant feet to accompany him outdoors. Leaf hats are too cute!

I have the diva Miss Lili who does not like to get her feet wet also. Good thing we live in CA where it hardly ever rains. Your dogs are darling.
Have a great weekend.

My guy, Winston, doesn't even want to step into the wet grass in the morning. I'm curious to see how he likes the snow. We've only had him for 6 months so this will be his first winter with us.

Those last two leaf shots are fabulous! I love the reflection and who would have thought a stem could be so pretty? And that last shot of the pupper is adorable.

Love these captures, our Aussie doesn't like the rain either. She often refuses to go out!

In December of 2010 I started a series called 100 Dogs. I have completed and posted 40 photos, the last of which was almost a year ago. I need to get busy with this project again. They're on my blog sidebar in the Labels column. Of course, my photos aren't nearly as spectacular as yours!
