Taking a Stroll With Sophie

I had the opportunity today to go for a walk with Sophie around her new neighborhood.  I gave her a little Vivitar camera to take pictures of whatever she wanted.  I brought along my camera.  Here is what we saw:

Sophie’s liked this flower.

We had a discussion a couple of days ago about what manhole covers were so Sophie took a picture of one on her street.

She liked these rocks

Then I gave her rabbit ears!

We  met a man walking his dog

and  Sophie took a picture of an acorn

We call her next door neighbors dog, Java, “the dancing dog”  because that’s what he does whenever he sees you.  Sophie got a picture of him dancing.  She caught him completely off the ground in his dance.

I took a picture of her taking a picture of me.

All-in-all it was a very enjoyable walk.  We went the farthest away from her house that she ever walked – and then she told me she had to go potty.  Reminder to self-go potty before leaving the house.

We got back to the house in plenty of time.

A flock of birds chattered at us on the way home

do you see the bird?

One final shot that Sophie took of me was this excellent “portrait from below” – an unusual view up my nostrils.
