end of spring {robin chick}

Summer will officially arrive in a week, but it still feels like spring with all of the baby critters making their way into the world.   In particular, I’ve seen so many baby chicks sitting on the ground, after taking maiden flights from their nests.  The parent birds, are usually on a telephone wire or in…

luckiest dad in the world {los angeles}

This father and daughter duo, are the best of the best! Okay, I confess I’m totally biased… you see, for the past four years, I’ve been lucky enough to call these two my family. There are not enough adjectives in the world to express how truly awesome Giovanni and Besso are! A few weeks ago,…

rainy day {blues}

Whether you are a small dog or trying to fly out of a large metropolitan airport (read JFK), rainy days can make you blue.  I was supposed to fly to Los Angeles today, but because of the very rainy weather, my flight kept getting delayed further and further into the evening.   So instead of spending…

abby’s semi-formal

Last night, my beautiful niece, Abby, had her semi-formal high school dance. I thought it was so sweet that she asked me to come and take a few snaps of her and her friends. They all looked so great, and seemed like such a fun group. Tweet

despereaux rescued

My first few days back in Los Angeles, were spent rescuing a little dog found roaming down San Vicente (a very busy street). We called him Despereaux, after the movie mouse, because of his enormous ears! Sadly, he had no tags and no microchip, so we could not find the dog’s original owners. Luckily Jay,…

Elaine - Beautifully done. Absolutely gorgeous–both people and animals.

Alice - Sarah just reminded me that we actually had a few names for this cutie. It started with Vincent, because we found him on San Vicente. Then it was Freddie Mac, in case he was a foreclosure doggie. Finally, we ended with Despereaux… adorable, brave, and more adorable!

sarah knowlton - freddie mac!
