This photo feels like it should have some kind of artsy-fartsy name attached to it. "Pogo in the Backyard," though, doesn't quite do it for me. (I'll entertain suggestions. Really. Proof that somebody reads this thing would be wonderful.)
Since I hurt my foot, my landladies and downstairs neighbors have kindly let Pogo go into their backyard for his walks. Getting around sidewalks that are salty and irritate his paws is bad enough, but with an injured foot, I have trouble navigating slippery sidewalks myself.
Getting Pogo into the backyard is kind of a production. The landladies' dog, Jasper, is rather territorial about his backyard, so I have to bring him in through the basement dog flap while letting Pogo out onto the porch through the back door. It's a masterpiece of timing, really, and I'm getting much better at it.
While I was doing the backyard ballet today, I happened to look down from a second-floor window and thought to myself what a great photo it would be to get my black-and-white dog on a stark white background. Thus, today's photo of the day.

Travis, you are so talented. I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteI like the title "Pogo in teh Backyard", but my first thought for alternates is "Black and White in Color". Clayton suggests "A chocolate chip morning". How about "Dog and Prints" or "Pogo and Jasper Prints" or "Dog in Prints"?
I kind of like "Black and White in color," myself. If I sign up for Roslindale Open Studios this year, I will definitely be seeking a good title for this (because it'll HAVE to go in).
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking the blog out, too! It's nice to see some feedback.
