After the long holiday weekend and with a hint of the cooler weather upon us, we enjoyed some quieter and calmer time this week. This picture also shows how Jasper has changed over the years--when he was younger, he was much more independent and preferred his own space, but nowadays he's pretty much stuck on us. :)

It rarely snows here in the lowlands, so it was definitely a treat for us this week. Not very much snow to speak of, and it did not last for long, but it was still really nice to get a little bit of the winter wonderland. :)

We celebrated Jasper's birthday this week. He's doing remarkably well and still has a pretty high energy level for his age. We hope for many more good years with him. :)

For this week's challenge of negative space, I tried several shots outside with various uniform backgrounds, but none of them managed to capture enough visual interest. I'm not terribly happy with this shot's composition, but I liked the mood it conveys, so we'll go with this one for the challenge.

We took our annual holiday photos today and as you can tell from this pic, this year's theme was pjs. For some reason, i haven't been feeling very festive this year, but I think this will help me get going!
