I originally thought I could keep this going for maybe a week to 10 days, but I've managed to think up quite a few of them, so figured I'd share another batch here.
Morning glory groundcover and my girly brown Rover. #weak?
My love behind an olive (tree).
A hedge of natal plums & a girl w/ no thumbs.
A phormium & my furry chum.
Suffering the "burn" as we pass this sword fern. #OurHoodIsHilly!!#CardioWithTheDog
Australian tea tree & an Aussie-mix cutie. #HadHerDNATested
Un agave con mi amore. #PossiblyButcheredThatItalian
"Beeblossom" with Rita, who's awesome!
Bamboo & our boo who has no clue she's about to be shampooed #bathtime
(And then of course I had to later post a pic of the sad puppy in the tub...)
A basic pine and a super-fine canine. #shessofine
Our fur kid, suspicious of our new orchid. #wefearchange
I have a bunch more, plus some I've thought of but haven't been able to find the exact plant, or haven't been able to get Rita to pose by it, or ... the other day she took a squat in front of a loquat, but I just wasn't quick enough to get that shot. :)
The blog will be "dark" the next 2 weeks, for a little enjoy-the-end-of-summer break.
When I get back, I should be able to share the cover for my new book! I hope you guys will love it!
I couldn't pick a favorite this time because they are all great and funny (and creative) :) Have a great and fun break! Can't wait to see your new book!
ReplyDeleteI admit, I have a hard time picking a fave of these too. Love the look on her face in that last one. :)
DeleteThese are SO awesome! I want to try this but I don't know plant names well enough!
ReplyDeleteOK, had my caffeine! Some ideas have finally kicked in. Now I just have to stage those photos.
DeleteOh awesome! I can't wait to see yours!
DeleteI hope Taryn realizes we'll all be expecting plants with names that begin with W ;-)
DeleteLove those! Great idea, I'll have to go follow your Instagram, if I'm Not already.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the IG follow. I'll look forward to pics of your gorgeous pups!
DeleteWhat fun. I still say that Rita takes some of the greatest pictures and kudos to you for knowing all those plants! Can't wait to see your cover and enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI don't always know them off the top of my head. Sometimes I have to try to search "bush with purple leaves" or whatnot, or I text a photo to my sis and ask if she knows.
DeleteAdorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
DeleteCute idea, Jackie. Looking forward to info on your new book. Have a good break!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Looking forward to the wee break. But I'll miss everyone!
DeleteCongratulations on your final draft
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to be done with editing!
DeleteThat was really sweet. I was impressed that you could identify them all. I know zippo about flowers.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have to research them. I know a few - but my sis really knows a ton! Sometimes i text her for ideas.
DeleteThese are really neat photos and a clever idea! I can't believe how much your dog resembles my sister's dog--only darker. Her dog was a stray and is a mixed breed. They know she has German Shepherd but aren't sure what else.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this series!
That's so funny about your sis's dog, but I'm not surprised. I also know of another dog that RIta looks like. We had her DNA tested and she's mostly German and Aussie shepherd mixed with dog-knows-what.
DeleteI love these clever posts! Have a splendid end of summer respite. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThose are so great - I don't know how you keep coming up with them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break, and we'll be looking forward to the book cover when you're back!
I don't know how I keep coming up with them either - but it sure keeps my mind working on our walks! :)
DeleteYour imagination is incredible this would make a great e-book! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteAn ebook would be fun. :) Or one of my IG friends said she wished they were on like baseball cards.
DeleteVery Clever!!!
ReplyDeletehugs
Hazel & Mabel
Thank you!
DeleteSad puppy in the tub is definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSad puppy is sad!
DeleteMorning Glory is not #weak! It reminds me of a vocal exercise that a singer would go through before a performance!
ReplyDeleteSad dog baths happen all too often at my house. Dexter is a shihtzu/terrier who can't decide if he wants to sit on a a pillow all day (literally) to keep his paws clean, or chase things through a muddy backyard!
The word play and research are a great mental activity to keep you sharp!
Hehe. It is sort of like a vocal exercise. Hadn't thought of that. Will have to try to come up with more tongue twisters. That's funny about your Dexter. (Rita hadn't had a real bath in ages! She sometimes gets sand from the beach rinsed offf with the hose, but a real bath... oh, man, it had been months and months!)
DeleteI love all of these!
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures and captions
ReplyDeletehello pooch smooches its dennis the vizsla dog hay awww rita its the sad bath fayse!!! i hav seen the sad bath fayse menny times on my sister trixie and i hav eeven worn it myself mor then wunse!!! hav a fun vaykayshun!!! ok bye
ReplyDeleteThose are all really good. For the agave, I expected spanish (which is close enough to italian - con mi amor).
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I admit, I laughed and laughed. Thank you for that.
