Modeling Among the Bougainvilleas

November 2, 2020 By: Summer Samba28 Comments

Summer does some outside modeling, including a session in front of some magenta bougainvilleas.

My outside schedule is different now that we’ve turned the clocks back. I get to go out earlier. And because we are really heading into late fall and winter, the light is milder, even if the temperatures haven’t gone down that much. It was really a beautiful day, so I’m glad I got to have some outside time!

This time, I went out back. It’s very pretty there, even in brown season.

My human wanted me to wear something fall-like, but it’s still too warm for sweaters so she put this Scunci on me. You might remember it from my mystery box video. The colors aren’t quite right, but it’s the closest thing I have to a fall collar.

After posing in the collar for a while, we decided to go up to the bougainvilleas. They are blooming, which doesn’t seem to happen very often.

In fact, most of the time my human forgets about them because she never sees blooms. But this year, they are really vibrant.

She thought they would make a nice backdrop for a portrait of me. And she was right.

    The last shot could be the cover to your 2022 calendar. I’m surprised the birdies didn’t come down and try to suck the nectar outta that neck thing.

    Oh Summer, you pose so nicely. Love your Scunci, so colorful. And your portrait with the beautiful Bougainvilleas is exquisite.

    Actually I think the collar IS Fall like as well as a summer collar. To mom and me, more Fall than Summer. By the way, I have said before and here I am again saying i LOVE your secret thoughts. I wouldn’t miss those for anything each time I come by. They help me have my first smiles of the day. Sometimes an out loud laugh.

    All good pictures. I do remember that collar – very pretty.
    It would look good with the bougainvillea too. Looks
    like a very good day for you. You look very relaxed.

    They are beautiful but they sure can leave you bloodied if you trim them. Ours are blooming now too.

    Stunning Summer. We’re so cold and it will get bleak and bare. I don’t like winter here. I should be in a warmer state. You and the flowers are beautiful

    The last photo is knock-out! (and personally I like that collar – a lot. Who cares what time of the year it is – since when are you a slave to fashion?)

    The bougainvillea are pretty. The pink in your collar looks the same colour.
