Monthly Archives: October 2008 Autumn. I adore you. I’m looking forward to the many wonderful things that you bring. To a season full of change. To the crisp air that stings my cheeks, making me feel so alive. To the re-emergence of scarves and gloves and bulky sweaters into my wardrobe. To the distinct smell of Autumn, almost as if you can smell the chill in the air. To pumpkin spice coffee. To still being amused by my frosty breath in the mornings. To the stark contrast of the bright fall leaves and the muted tones of gardens that are holding out until the frost. And to the promise of many chilly evenings snuggled by the fire with my adorable husband and a fluffy fleece blanket…
 One of our weekend trips was to Willow Creek Orchards, a local organic farm. Best part about it… they have a pumpkin patch. Fun. We set out to choose the most perfect pumpkin. Being at the pumpkin patch reminded me of being young. We found a pumpkin patch that had a fabulous deal… $5, all you can carry. Great for us kids. Not so great for my Dad. Worse for my Dad’s poor aching back. But he was a good sport and waited as we made our thoughtfully made our choices. We lined up at the carry line and loaded my Dad to the max. And we cheered as he crossed the line scored us that year’s pumpkins for only $5, even though his back paid dearly for it. It made me smile. And it made me sad.
 Halloween is not exactly a festive time for all in the Ziegler household. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come later this week…
 Tucher is a burmese mountain dog. He’s named after a brewery in Germany! I know I posted this cute mug on my old blog, but I had to post it again since I edited some more photos of him. And I just love him. There’s something that I can’t help but love about photographing dogs. Perhaps it’s the fact that they have no filters. As one of my favorite dog photographers, Elliott Erwitt, has said, “Dogs don’t mind being photographed in compromising situations.” They’re raw. They don’t have a favorite side or angle. They don’t know nor care to pose for the camera. When shooting dogs, everything that you capture is completely real. And I love that…
