When Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear Is A Very, Very Good Thing {52 Snapshots of Life Week 8}

Typist: Bethany
When I stopped on the way home this week to take
photos of Seattle dogs in a convertible in February convertible in February (sorry friends stuck in cold and snow!) several passers by commented on what great shots I was getting and what a wonderful idea it was to park near Puget Sound at sunset for pictures. I honestly hadn't really planned it that way. The dogs and I had spent the entire afternoon visiting dog friends and just happened to be driving home when the irresistible sunset invited us to stop. I actually prefer to walk to watch our gorgeous Seattle sunsets. I ended up without the winter sunset with dogs in a convertible photos I had parked for but I found myself thinking about the mirror theme for this weeks photo challenge and enjoyed snapping photos of the dogs as they watched the day end. I now can't really remember what other mirror photo plans I had. I have had a lot of fun with mirror photos before (here are Wilhelm's and here are Leo's) but unplanned stops and accidental perfect snapshots are just the kind of adventures I love to have with my pets. I doubt we will make a habit of watching sunsets from the car however I am glad we parked, and had a mirror, just this one time.

OMG, I love these! That first photo is breathtaking! So artistic! And your models? What beauties! :)

My favorite place to enjoy a sunset is Mallory Square in Key West. Oh my, what a gorgeous place.

Great pix. That just got us thinking about the last time we saw a sunset and we can't remember. Must make a point of seeing one. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

Wonderful pictures and creative for this week's challenge! Our favorite sunset spot is the beach, but we only get to see it once a year (although Teach and I are taking a trip there for a few days in April so we will be able to see twice this year!).

OK, those are Great Shots!! I especially love the ones where one dog is in the picture and another in the mirror, lol! Wonderful, frame-able shots.

A great series of photos!

We love watching the sun set over the continental divide from a special spot up on our little mountain.

What beautiful photos! So creative! I'm stuck in the snow on the East coast, so I'm very jealous of your sunsets and your weather!

I love this idea and it is hilarious that all of your gang gets to look out! Well, except for Leo.

Oh how beautiful!! (Really jealous here, as we trudge through our midwestern winter...)
It's those little, unplanned moments that really make life special, isn't it?!

Such beautiful photos! I just love photos of dogs in car mirrors, though I have yet to get a successful shot. Yours are fabulous, as is that wonderful sunset. We're surrounded by lots of trees, so seeing the actual sunset is a bit of a challenge. But we do enjoy quiet early evenings on the front porch or back patio as the sun begins to disappear . . . when the weather is a little warmer, of course. ;-)
