Optical Illusion

Yesterday, Abbey had a friend come over. A very  fun active friend named Hope.

A couple hours of frolicking and playing joyfully in the back yard was just what they both needed. Some mud, sticks and a couple of toys and life couldn’t be any better for the two of them. So, I decided to go crab the camera and get some shots of the fun.

Here’s #1 Illusion….No not the soft almost out of focus picture…

Now, dosen’t Abbey look like the happiest ever. A great big smile for the camera and everything !!

Little did I know…or could see the details of the reason for the smile.

Illusion #2

As Abbey goes running by, with the proudest of all  Lab trots…

Not once did I notice the odd stick in her mouth.

(This is a zoomed in picture)

Until I was downloading the pictures.

Lets take a closer look…..

Oh look at that…It’s my glasses that Abbey has. And they are looking a little broken too.

Can you believe it…I had no idea that’s what she had in her mouth until after I downloaded the pictures.

I am near sighted  so I am constantly taking my glasses off, even more so when I am behind the camera.

The camera strap must have knocked them off my shirt that I always tuck them into.

I did find the mangled frames in the back yard….no fixing them either. lol

Now, Isn’t that the best smile ever…so proud to finally get a hold of my glasses !!!

I no longer will see that innocent smile the same way, in fact she’s saying something in a very teasing kind of way about me.

At least Hope knew better…not to grab the glasses.

Disturbing her peace.

A morning of playing, running and chasing a ball and she is finally looking a little tired.img_9975Well maybe just more relaxed than usual.

Maybe some what attentive too. I know what she’s thinking tho.

” A good nap would be perfect right about now.”

Maybe the camera is getting annoying.

img_9985“I’ll just hide out here under the table and pretend to be paying attention, she will be bored and go away”

img_9988“I will just sit here looking like I am alert and ready.

Sneek in a couple of seconds of shut eye.”

img_9982Her head gives in, the weight of the sleep takes over and she collapses to the floor.

img_9989Oh yeah…life is good.

Until peaceful sleep is disturbed by a camera.

That’s OK Abbey, you look fabulous when you first wake up.
