Bohemian Nappy Time

This afternoon I was writing a letter to a dear friend, and my mom came into the room, snuggled up on my bed, and fell asleep. Anywhere she goes, her dog and cat do to (Sogi and Zena). They are her little stalker friends, and I watch it happen time after time. I couldn't help myself, the scene was too precious, so I got out my camera and took a hundred or so photos. These are the best.

Sogi and Zena play a little game, "who can be the closest to Mom?" Zena won the first round, Sogi waited for his chance, and then yes! He scored. I love the last photo, it reminds me of Michaelangelo's Creation of Adam fresco on the Sistine Chapel, Mom displaying her benevolent spirit to include all of her children.

I must say, I absolutely love my room. Sogi and Zena generally match with the decor, and today Mom fit in quite nicely as well. I love the play of the lines, both straight and swirly, and the textures and colors. I enjoy watching these little moments unfold; it reminds me that my love of photography does not just come from the grand scenic schemes, but from the smaller, every day vignettes that fill these spaces with life.
