Wait, that was only seven days ago? Surely to god this has been the longest week in history?  Sure seems that way!<\/p>\n<p>Last Saturday I had the immense pleasure of meeting this adorable trio of siblings when they came to the house for the last set of porch portraits before we <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/2012\/06\/21\/in-which-she-discusses-porches-and-poop-pipes-with-the-universe\/\">tear apart the porch<\/a> (whimper) to replace the poop pipe. Are they not the cutest kids ever?  I&#8217;ve got a handful more shots from this fun session that I can&#8217;t wait to share, but this sneak peek will have to do for now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/7382957152\/\" title=\"Kids on a wagon by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7078\/7382957152_fb124b41d9.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" alt=\"Kids on a wagon\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>PS don&#8217;t you love my wagon?

How cute is this? We found him like this &#8211; he had crawled under the blankets and tucked himself in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/7397681730\/\" title=\"Let sleeping cats lie (in the bed) by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8145\/7397681730_0abd4fddea.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"Let sleeping cats lie (in the bed)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wish the &#8220;no trespassing&#8221; sign was just a little bit more clear in this one &#8212; it was funny how he stood there for quite a long moment, watching me snap this one with my iPhone.  A friend on Flickr noted it would be even funnier if he were posed beside a &#8220;No hunting&#8221; sign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/7410768176\/\" title=\"no trespassing deer by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7266\/7410768176_01707aa9b1.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"no trespassing deer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took this one at about 10:00 in the morning on Thursday when it was stupidly hot downtown.  I think the picture, even though it&#8217;s an Instagram snap, captures the stinkin&#8217; hot stillness of the morning.  (I also like this view of the Canal, which I have never photographed before.  Goes to show you that sometimes when you&#8217;re composing a good shot, you should turn around and look the other way in case there&#8217;s an equally good or better shot behind you!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/7414060048\/\" title=\"Sultry summer morning on the Rideau Canal by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5072\/7414060048_ea5e3861e6.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Sultry summer morning on the Rideau Canal\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More than half of these photographs were taken with my iPhone, which is indicative of the kind of &#8220;snap one on the run&#8221; kind of week it has been.
