I love to just sit and watch Gracie sleep. I often find myself wondering what she is dreaming about. The other night, she woke me out of a deep sleep with the longest, slowest, deepest howl that went on for at least a minute. What subject could possibly have caused that?
Along with the noises, she is such an active sleeper (which is why she doesn’t sleep in our room with us). She barks, runs, woofs, twitches, chases, you name it. Because her legs are so long, she usually has a couple of them stretched out and hanging over whatever she is sleeping on. When they are hanging, most assuredly they are twitching. I love it.
It’s no secret that I am obsessed with the details of dogs and when I put on the 100mm Macro, it transports me into another world. As I was watching her paw last night, I decided to grab my camera and the SunPak Readylite. While the battery is short lived, it can be used in a variety of situations where you have low to minimal light. I stuck it on the floor directly under Gracie’s paw (hanging off the couch) and explored her paw.
I had shot for a good 10 minutes when the battery started to give out. When that happens, the light doesn’t just turn off, but slowly fades away. As it faded, the light mimicked the exact richness of a sunset, which resulted in these really rich colors! Not bad for a $30 light!
