I'm laughing. Cats seem to be winning. Maybe I should get a cat. Dogs are so needy.

I take photos of our great-nephew & great-niece, and our nephew's dog, when we see them -- but that's probably once a month, tops, these days. I took photos of our nephews (their dads) when they were growing up too (and I still thought I would have kids of my own to photograph someday). I do take selfies when I'm all dressed up and feel like I'm looking good, and sometimes I'll drag my husband into the photo with me. ;)

One thing I take a lot of photos of: sunsets, from our condo balcony. We didn't realize when we bought this place that we'd get a great view of some pretty stunning sunsets. (We can see sunrises too, but we're rarely up early enough!) I post a lot of them on Instagram & Facebook, & it's become a bit of a joke among my friends. My brother-in-law was teasing me about it last year, & I said to him, "Hey, not all of us have cute grandkids to take pictures of like you do." I kept my tone light, but he did shut up after that. The irony is that I've probably taken way, WAY more photos of his kids & grandkids over the years than he or his wife ever have. They've often said they would have no photos of their kids if it wasn't for me. Came in handy when the nephews were getting married & putting together slide shows for the reception and were looking for photos of themselves growing up...!
