Tongue and Tails!

You have probably heard the expression "Tux and Tails"......referring to the dresscode for a formal gala. It's an expression that goes well with Jimmy's AKC registered name: Fine Creek's Sharp Dressed Man, chosen, obviously for his tuxedo-colored coat. Well in this instance, I think I'll coin a new phrase for Jimmy, "Tongue and Tails"....His tongue is hanging so long after a good romp on the beach, it's hard to tell which is longer, his tail or his tongue!

Alternatively, I guess I could have called this "Bright-eyed and Bushy-tailed" because that fits as well. You can definitely see he was having a blast! I got a whole series of shots while he was in this gleeful mood and it was hard to pick a favorite! I think his eyes in this one are what won me over.

We went to Myrtle Beach two weekends ago, and I am just now going through my photos! It was a very short trip to turn our condo over to the rental management company, so I didn't take many, but I sure am slow getting them posted!

I'll finish with this one taken from the balcony. A cloudy sunrise over the Atlantic is actually a lot more interesting than clear blue.....

An update added for Rebecca who commented Jimmy would look good in B&W. I had thought the same thing and almost saved this shot for the B&W blog hop.....

Birthday Selfies!!!

For those of you who have been following this blog for a good while, you know I do not like being in the pictures. It's very rare to see me in these posts! Having so much spare time on my hands recently, I decided to head down to our condo at the beach. The rental season is over, it's time to do the deep cleaning, and as a bonus, I could spend my birthday at the beach! Since I headed down by myself, I needed to be inventive to get a birthday portrait. Fortunately, our balcony doors create the perfect mirror! A nice reflection, but the details are vague!

First up is a sunrise selfie. I find it telling that you can see the coffee pot through my silhouette as well as the coffee cup on the table next to me. I'm not a very nice person until I've had that first cup of Joe. LOL!

Then we have a midday selfie. You can see Jimmy and Wilson are there with me, so I'm still within the bounds of this blog! And, yes, I was drinking alone. You can do that on your birthday, right?

Now, a really long term blog follower will be able to tell me which birthday this one was? Any educated guesses?
