Our Fair City

The fall colors are amazing right now, so we headed up the stairs above the park to check out our favorite view of the city and the colors of the park. The blue sky was a perfect back drop and the chilly temperatures put a glow in our cheeks.

Rubin is a lighter shade of fall so we positioned him at the top of the steps for a portrait. Soon we were joined by Colleen with Monty and Jessica with Quillette and they set up for a threesome portrait.

It takes a bit of staging...
...to end up with this...

I'm particularly fond of the shot because it really shows Monty's scar from his surgery about a month ago. He's healing well, but as you can tell, it's one big ass scar. (I close up is on the Rubinations blog.)

Then Monty and Rubin posed for their portrait...
After which, we hiked up the hill to the Bradner Gardens where Rubin forced us to take a picture by his favorite quote. Not sure it's readable but engraved in the rockery is the phrase "Live to Dig, Dig to Live." Not that Rubin's a big digger, but given half the chance, he'd love nothing more than to rip up and out all of the garden fabric laid under all the garden beds in our yard.

It was a beautiful day. Tomorrow promises to be the same.

And the world spins madly on...
