Dogwood Park

I joined a few of my friends on an afternoon outing to Dogwood Park yesterday. It had finally warmed up a bit here despite being super windy. Of course I had to take the new 10-22mm lens out to see what I could get!

The very first shot of the day was Indie who has recently found a super mommy! Indie was abused in her former home but once she warms up to you a bit, she is such a sweetie!


Indie loves pinecones. I attempted to pick it up and throw it for her a couple times... I don't know how she was carrying it around - it was sharp!


On the left is Lucky, Jr. He's Professor's godson... you may remember when he was just a pup. Not anymore!
And on the right is a doggie I don't know... but she was so cute! This was the first time I saw her put that bumper down so I threw it for her (after I got the shot first of course) and ended up with mud splattered all over my face. Never go to the dogpark and expect to leave clean! : )


I kept seeing Bruiser the bulldog throughout the afternoon. Here is he chillin' on a chair with his ball!


As we were leaving I made some new friends! On the left is the schnauzer puppy I wanted to grab up and run away with (and my feet). She was soooo cute! She's on the right too with her mom and dad in the background. They have 17 doggies at home... and she's a pet photographer too!


And I leave you with three of the 17 siblings (only four were at the park yesterday)... they are walkin' like they should be in a movie! This shot totally reminds me of a scene from Reservoir Dogs... and a similar scene in Swingers too!

Daisy and Guido!!

Daisy and Guido (if you click that link, just scroll to the bottom for the sneak peek!) are my neighbor's dogs. I LOVE them! Daisy is a super sweetie pie and Guido is the most energetic ball of fur EVER!
We like to tease Professor and Daisy that they are a couple... hee hee.
And Max and Guido love to chase each other around by the pond... until Max is naughty and runs into the water!

So I ran into Daisy and Guido one afternoon while I was out taking pictures of Professor so of course I had to get some shots of them as well! In fact, Daisy is now on my website. She is the link to enter the photo cart for dogs!

Anyway, these photos are LONG overdue!
I played around with them tonight and practiced leash removal on a few!

And Daisy with her ring!!


This is the look you get from Daisy when she wants you to play with her and the ring...


But this is what happens when you try to oblige!


Ugh! I have a bunch more of Daisy with the ring that I want to share but I have GOT to go finish cleaning the kitchen. My parents arrive in town tomorrow and my sister and her husband fly in on Wednesday! Eeeeck!
So this will have to do for now but I hope you enjoyed Daisy and Guido even a smidgen as much as I do! : )

Happy Holidays!

Egret and Professor and Sneak Peek... OH MY!

This morning I woke up to fog...
Our apartment is in the back of our complex in the corner... next to lots of trees and a pond. We seriously have the best view ever from our third floor balcony.
So I was getting ready for work and looking out the window to see if my ducks were waiting to be fed and I saw this egret.
You know what I had to do!
Check out this great series!








Then this afternoon when I got home from work, I noticed the light was really warm and pretty. I grabbed Professor since he is the one who will walk with me without a leash and we headed out. This particular shot doesn't really show off the gorgeous orange-y light but it is the one that, when I was flipping through the shots with my husband, made us both immediately say awwwww out loud. I'll share the others later.


And last but DEFINTELY not least, while I was out with Prof... we ran into my neighbor who was out with her two very fun dogs. She was out chatting with another neighbor so we had a mini photo session right then and there. I can't WAIT to show you the rest of the photos... but here's your sneak peek!
