I wanted something special to end our first year of 52 weeks and i'm pleased with this ! I've been thinking about the challenge and last night !! i suddenly knew what i wanted to do !!!
Took the photo of Xziva this afternoon, we let her stand on a bench, and also a photo of both my hands . Found this texture and thought it was just made for this shot.
She steps from 2010 into 2011 and i'm helping her .We have helped each other with the shots this year and i hope we get a lot of wonderful shots next year .

Wishing everybody in the 52 weeks group and all my dear friends and contacts on Flickr a very good 2011 !!!

Lily and Xziva

I'm really mad, took my 52 weeks photo iin time but in France Wifi kept shutting down or wasn't available at all.
Now i missed my first week in the more than 2 years we are doing this.

All is going well and Xziva is travelling good, inside it's a bit cramped :)) but now we have better weather and can sit outside , so the only time she needs to be inside is at night. It's real cozy the three of us in this small caravan !!!!

We are now in Spain,not too far from Barcelona but it's too touristy for our liking.

This is what we saw when we returned from doing dishes :)) a very worried face !!!! she is behaving really great on the campsites .

Someone commented on one of Xziva's photo's with : Wise dog !!
That made my day because there is nothing wise about Xziva , she is just a wild and crazy Dane . But this comment made me decide to try and get something that would make her look wise.

So out came the very old Encyclopedia ( 1917 ! ) . She was reading about the King Tiger when i disturbed her . She keeps her paw on the page so as not to lose it :)

The reading glasses i kept on with the help of some elastics .

I love how she looks over them just as people would do .
What i don't like is the red carpet reflecting in her coat !

Xziva held a sit, with me out of sight !! , for 30 counts today !!!! such a good and smart girl, maybe she is wise :)

Texture used : texture green bokeh 50 by Photo Sharing .

I used this photo for her 52 weeks and are now entering it in a contest for a new group icon for the group Animals in B?W, Sepia, and Minimal color. I cropped it to a square, deleted the text and made the background less green

EXPLANATION : A. was wearing a white sheet and held her ears up , i cut Xziva out and than i cloned out his fingers :) Easy as pie :)
