It's nice to look back on the little moments that may have been forgotten if they hadn't been captured thru my lens.  Sadly, my two older sons don't like to have their picture taken.  Grrr!!

Summer camp is over for Megan so we'll be looking for things to do to keep her busy until school starts at the beginning of September.  I haven't gone school supply shopping yet.  I think I'm in denial that it's only a few weeks away!!  I'm ready for some routine I think.  I'm usually a "fly by the seat of my pants" kinda gal but as I get older I feel like I need more structure.  I'm also ready for some purging of "stuff" that is no longer used and/or no longer loved.  I feel these urges a couple of times a year and it usually happens at the beginning of fall and the beginning of spring.  I have bags that are around the house that I'll fill with things that I want to get rid of as I come across them.  The next step is putting them in the back of the car and then dropping them off at our local thrift store that benefits homeless animals.  It's always such a good feeling when I drive away from there knowing that I've not only cleared out some things that will be used by people who will appreciate them but also helped some fur babies in the process.  Speaking of which . . .

I've been asked, once again, to take photos for the "Clear the Shelters" event that happens this coming Saturday at our local Rockland County animal shelter.  It is one of my absolute favorite events to photograph!!  Shelters around the country waive adoption feels so that people that may not be able to afford them at the moment can go to a participating shelter and bring a new member of the family home for free.  For more info click here .  I'll share some photos of last year's event later.  : )


Have a great week everybody!!

These {Random} Summer Moments . . .












Tomorrow I'm headed to our local animal shelter to participate in the annual "Clear the Shelters" event.  This is when people are able to adopt a new shelter friend for free.  Just for the day, they waive the regular adoption fees so that people can come in and after screening they can go home with a wonderful new member of the family.  I photographed the day for them last year and it truly was one of the most wonderful days of my life.  To see dogs and cats that had been at the shelter for over a year go home with a loving new family is just beyond words!!!  I've been asked to come back again to photograph the event and I can't wait to share the photos with you next week.  It's supposed to be a scorcher here in New York this weekend but I'll suck it up and venture outside for this amazing cause!!!




Happy weekend everyone!! ~ Wendy
