With superbly photogenic pets and stunning scenery surrounding me, I don't usually feel tested by photo challenges. Yet when I pondered how to photograph what my pets might dream, my photographic creativity was definitely put to the test. I spent a lot of time considering what a dream of a dachshund, corgi, collie, cockatoo or cat might look like. Are the pets dreams like humans and usually in black and white and in the first person? Do the dogs, parrots and cats occasionally dream in color or in a perspective of watching themselves play out the sleeping vision? Can a pets dream be a way of working out psychological issues like humans? I watched the pets sleep and smiled with curiosity. As a way of learning what the dream of a Cascadian Nomads pet might look like, I began to photograph the world from their perspective. This was an eye opening experience (which I will likely share in another post) but these photographs just weren't dreamy enough. So instead of visions from my pets dreams I decided to share insight into what I see when I close my eyes and think of Amelia, Leo, Wilhelm, Huxley and Brychwyn. I dream of my pets enjoying fantastic fun and amazing adventures.

I often wonder what they boys are dreaming of - those foot twitches, rapid eye movement, little woofs and growl - even the occasional mouth slobbering

Lovely photos, and what a lovely idea to think of our dreams for our pets. I dream that Harper Lee will have a long, healthy, and happy life filled with new adventures and new friends at every turn.
