Canine Bliss

Someone's got a taste of Spring Fever!

There really are few things Frannie enjoys more than hanging her head a wee bit out the window and feeling the fresh air on her face, ears flapping.  Whether that be cold air or not, she seems to not mind.  Many times this winter I've found myself wishing she could comprehend the English language and rational behind concepts like its 20* outside and we're driving 35+ mph...you'll freeze your mug off if I even crack the window!

Today was a rare January treat...after our daily walk she got to enjoy her head out the window sniffing the fresh (but foggy) 40* air...pleased as a pooch the whole way home you could say!

Scott & I have admired a local photographer featured in Real Simple magazine June 2011, Chris Becker, (click his name & you can view his website), he does these fabulous Dog out the window/in the car kind of shots, he calls this collection, Canine Bliss.  We learned he shoots most of his photos w/ 3 people in the car to keep the dog safe & does most of his photos on Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport (not too shabby a backdrop!) yes, "the road the Bushs' Summer residence"...

Below is our attempt at a "Canine Bliss" shot of our own, we shot it late summer 2012 on the McGuire Road in Kennebunk, a quiet spot to practice our not quite perfected skill...
