Today I'll talk about a photograph I like... but more than the photograph itself I like it because of the significant moment behind the picture.
They are my pets Horus (the dog) and Minerva (the Cat) and I love this image because it reminds me that beautiful reencounter .

The story behind the photograph...
I should start saying that in my family we all love animals, this is why we rescued our two pets. Horus is two years old now and he was our only pet until the last year, in July to be more specific when my brother rescued minerva a little cat who was alone in the street so he decided to bring her home. She was only months of life and was dirty and thin, so we fed her and took her to the Vet. Everything was ok, I have to say that my dog is extremely friendly so he accepted that Minerva was going to be a new member of our family and started building a beautiful friendship. They played all the time, shared food and even slept in the same place. 
The months passed and Christmas came, we were having dinner at the backyard and then some noisy fireworks scared Minerva and she just run away, we though she will return but after many hours she didn't come, we got worried about her so asked our neighbors but no one saw her, we waited for weeks without having news so we started thinking the worst. Apart from this situation we had everything ready for our holidays so we went, but of course we were sad because we didn't know what happened to our cat. 
When we came back of our holidays, getting out of the car we saw Minerva again, it was like if she was waiting for us. We were all so happy, but what impressed me the most was our dog's reaction, he jumped and barked. When we got into the house she seemed to be tired so she went to my parents bed and my dog just lie down next to her and started licking at her like trying to say "I missed you". For me it was so cute that I took them a picture. 
I took this photograph on January of 2015 because it was a beautiful moment.

...Do you have a favorite photograph?

Today I'll talk about my favorite piece of technology. I have to admit that it was kind of difficult at first thinking about only one, as we have many technological devices that we use every day and make our life easier. I realized how important is for most of the people having their cellphones for example. Nowadays everybody spend a lot of time in front of their computers or sending text messages, but to tell the truth I'm not a tech fan. I actually don't use them very often and I've never played those popular cell games, so despite their are useful tools in my life of course, I wouldn't say that I actually "enjoy" using them. But then I started thinking Which one of them I really like? and what first came to my mind was my camera.

I love taking photographs! ... since I can remember I've always have fun taking photos, when I was younger I used a small camera, but two years ago I  bought a professional one with more options to make photographs more precise. When we go on holiday with my family I really enjoy to capture all those beautiful moment with people I love, and from landscapes I don't want to forget.   

For some people is annoying carrying a camera all the time, or they are worried because they want to look good in every photograph, but I like to take them in spontaneous moments, like when people is laughing or they look happy and they don't realize that I'm taking photos, so then they are surprised to see them. 
Some people say that the problem with the cameras nowadays is that you can take hundreds of photos and you never have time to see them all, and that's right but at least in my case I check them and after erase those who are not that good I put them on a CD, so every time we want to see them again we have them there.  

Of course I would like to learn how to use it properly because it has  many options and everything I know I have learned it on my own, so I'm thinking of taking one of these courses so I can take advantage of the full potential of the camera. 

... What about you? What is your favorite piece of technology?
