Manteo. Denmark. And the Dog With No Face.

July 17, 2013

Today we’ll start with a few recent photos I took around Manteo, then move on to some Denmark pictures, and then see we’ll see some rare and semi-alarming photos of a dog with no face.

DENMARK

One of my long time readers, Trine, lives in Denmark.  (Which is a place I would LOVE to visit with camera in hand.) She emailed me recently and asked if I might consider posting a few pictures on the blog of her very lovely homeland. 

I don’t know about you but I love seeing places that I will probably never get the privilege of visiting. So here, for your viewing pleasure, are some pictures of Denmark taken by the talented Trine.

I especially loved this one. She said she was walking through a park when the light was especially beautiful. I would have to agree  . . . this is some amazing light!  Thanks, Trine, for sharing your talent and your country.

The  Dog With No Face?

It’s true.

Summer’s face has tragically and mysteriously disappeared. I will be sure to let you know if we ever find it again.

    “Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen”

    glad to hear that Summer is no longer sporting her Winter-do. bet she feels much better!

      Mrs. Pam,

      I’ve never been to “wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen,” or even heard the song–but both the city and the song sound wonderful!

    Becky…Obviously you are not in on the latest HOT hairstyles. Summer is sporting the brand new BLONDE BOMBSHELL WINDBLOWN LOOK! All the chic canines are wearing a version of it, but this one is so unique and perfect that the world of doggie hair fashion has dubbed this the “Summer of ’13″….Ooooo La La!

  4. Hey Becky! 🙂
    I must say that I would love to visit Manteo one day as well. I really think this is one of my favortie set pictures you have posted so far. They feel so much ”alive” you know? I especially think the first and the last one are great.

    Oh it is feel special to see my pictures posted here 🙂 I am glad to see that your readers like them. As for information, the pictures are taken in Copenhagen. The first one is the Queen’s palace, the rest are from the churchill park 🙂

    I just tried to post but it said it did not go thru so will try again sorry if its a double post. I love all the pictures, the sea ones are so calming and I love pictures from places I want to go and never will be able too.
    I hope your poor little doggys face will be found again 🙂

      Sharon,

      It is nice to get to “travel” by way of photos, isn’t it? And as for Summer, I’m happy to report that after we took her to be groomed, her face magically reappeared! 🙂

  6. Michelle says:

    Love the beautiful pictures!! Now I want to go on a trip overseas 🙂

  7. Liz W says:

    Thanks for posting the Denmark photos. It is a magical, beautiful place full of wonderful people. (The fact I have relatives living there has nothing to do with my feelings, of course.) I do hope you get the chance to travel there.

  8. Shawn says:

    Beautiful Pictures! I hope you find Summer’s face although she is still very pretty.

  9. Mary H says:

    Beautiful sea pictures (I can just hear the water lapping and rolling and even smell the sea air), beautiful doggie pictures and what a treat to see Denmark(the park picture looks like an illustration in a fairy tale) – I would love to visit both places, Manteo and Denmark.

    • Becky says:

      Mary,

      I know, wasn’t that park picture so beautiful? I just wanted to step into the picture and stay there awhile. Prayers for you and your family today . . .

    Beautiful pictures…of Manteo and Denmark!! Thanks for sharing! Looks like it’s about time for a Summer haircut, perhaps? 🙂

      Gayle,

      I’m happy to report that Summer has had her long overdue haircut and is happily running around with her lovely face in full view. 🙂

      • Gayle says:

        We’d love to see pictures of the new do!

        • Becky says:

          Gayle,

          Well, as much as I would love to share pictures of the new ‘do, she actually got a very bad haircut this time around and will be required to walk around with a bag over her head until it grows out. I am not even kidding!
