White Bench

I like photographing the hamsters against white because their beautiful fur coats pop so well!  Laurelin is always slow and cautious when exploring something new, which makes photographing her pretty easy.  😊

Tarmund is nearly always moving!  He doesn't seem scared or unsure about anything.  Usually my method for getting good pictures of him is to give him time to finish exploring everything first and then he tends to sit still for a bit which makes getting a good picture much easier.  However in this case, he seemed like he was going to jump or fall off the edge of this bench, so I grabbed what pictures I could as quickly as I could.  What a silly ham!  😊

Stuck in a Bowl

I can't get over how precious Laurelin looks in this bowl!  The bowl matches her colors so well.  I love the way she popped her head over the edge of the  bowl.  She's so sweet!

Tarmund tried to get out but he legitimately couldn't, and I have to admit that watching him try was very entertaining!  He is so cute and sweet!

The Last Flowers

I meant to post these last week.  I honestly barely remember last week.  I feel like I got nothing done and simultaneously was ridiculously busy.  Okay three sentences in and I'm remembering why these haven't been posted.  I am constantly interrupted by the pets.  I love them all so much, but it's a struggle sometimes.  I got interrupted again...  😒  Okay, as I was saying, these flowers were from my mother.  They lasted WAY longer than I thought they would, and it was SO nice to have them when the ground was covered in snow.  But just like the snow that melts, these flowers wilted and were thrown out.  

I had a hard time narrowing down the pictures of Laurelin because she looked so happy and cute as she sat and ate her spinach.  😍

Tarmund apparently doesn't like spinach or flowers.  So, these were the best pictures I got.  😂

Climbers

As much as I loved doing the Halloween costumes again this year, I am glad to be back to these simple pictures that don't require much - if any - setting up.  Laurelin was enjoying running around this chair and climbing up and down the arms trying to see if she could get access to anything around the chair.

Tarmund also enjoyed running around this chair, but he is so small and couldn't reach high enough to climb up the arms.  Watching his efforts was quite adorable though!

Luna Lovegood

Happy Halloween!  Laurelin thought that the perfect way to end this series would be to do a Luna Lovegood costume.  I think Laurelin looks great.  😊 

I hope you all enjoyed the costumes this year!  Truthfully, I don't anticipate Laurelin living long enough to do more costumes next year.  She is approximately a year old now, so if she is alive next Halloween, she'll be quite the old lady.  If I am able to do this again in the future, regardless if it is with Laurelin or another hamster, I'd love to hear your ideas of what costumes you would like to see!  Also, in case you didn't know this has been a bit of a tradition for me, I have 3 ebooks that are all about the costumes that my first hamster, Tarcil, wore.  You can get them all on Amazon!

Captain Marvel

I really like that there are strong female superheros that Laurelin could dress up as.  Doesn't she look great as Captain Marvel?  Laurelin didn't seem to be too serious about this role though as you can tell by the last picture where she stuck her tongue out.  😂
