Roc on the Beach

Roc, my black lab, was sitting in deep shade when I took this last week while at the beach. I exposed for the shade but the sky was pure white. I exposed for the sky but the shade went black. (Not good for a black lab.) So, I combined the photos into this. I hope it works. I think it is interesting. I really like the cliff off to the left.

Eye of Mocha

Just playing around. A little soft due to low light/motion, but fun.

Scavenger Hunt: Bow Tie

#14 of 24: No one else around the house would wear the bow tie, so Roc volunteered. He is such a good sport!

Scavenger Hunt: Dog with a biscuit on nose

The local camera club that I belong to does a scavenger hunt at the end of every year for the past few years any way. There are 25 items to photograph and this is the first, "Dog with a biscuit on nose". The hunt is over on May 27th so I have plenty of time to get them all. They will be judged 3 ways: Humor, creativity and photo composition and no photoshop (except a little sharpening, levels and crop) allowed. I'll post them as I get them, so check back often!

This is Roc, being so very patient, taken with my 16mm fisheye. I gave him the release command, he flipped the biscuit in the air and gobbled it down before hitting the ground. :-)

Throw it!!

William was out throwing the ball for Roc & Mocha today, I was in a monochrome mood, here is the result. :-)

Give us the ball......

A pair of portraits of the dogs while playing with my new 21mm lens and in camera effects. They are cool I think. I was using a ball to keep their attention and their expressions show it!

Kick the ball..... KICK IT!!!

The dogs just cannot *wait* to go chase the ball! Now if William could figure out which foot is the left one to match to the shoe.......:-)

Mocha

We had a couple dogs with us and Mocha was way into the sticks! I gave it a little toss after grabbing the shot. :-)

Meet Odie!

So what is this, just another puppy we have? Not exactly. We purchased Odie a couple days ago (named yesterday while at the beach) to start a new direction with our puppies to only breed chocolate labs. It will be good I think. It seems that any other breed of dog we have tried (Yorkie, Goldens, Silvers) had had bad luck of some sort. So, cocoa puppies seem to be what works best for us and what we will stick with. Odie is a good little boy and *EVERYBODY* loved him at the beach!

My First Picture

This is my first posting to what I hope to be a daily thing. I hope whoever is looking comes back often. Sometimes it will be art, sometimes around the house (like this one) and others plain mundane.


 

This is William returning from one of his trips under the fence and into the back field to play in the water, with Mocha. There is much more dirt on him than can be seen in this picture. He needs to stop this.  :-)
