Random Shots

Just another day in the life of my dog. He loves the porch outside and since the weather has been fabulously cool and dry, he sits on "his" bench, which was finally finished after a bit of time. It was more a process than was expected, but they are what they are, a simple place to sit and look out over his yard. He loves them while little Oreo is not a fan of anything "outside" except things in the yard. She begs to go in from the porch and never wants to stick around in it, but this is where the Mackster is most at home.

Really can't help it, I just keep taking pictures and unfortunately they both have learned that whenever that awful camera comes out, the pictures are coming too. As soon as he hears the shutter focusing, it's time to look away at every opportunity. Makes it rough to really get a good picture. But after all he's my only "model" at times, so he's the one I will get most often.

These were shot today, on a good day. He is bright, happy, alert, rested and eating well. We couldn't ask for more than that.

A picture like this is not usual for me, I usually always have my eyes behind the lens and I'm always tracking any movement someone makes, but this shot was just one that I put the camera down, looked at him from my vantage point but with the camera well below me and just focused and shot...I love it and it's more natural and more "artistic" as a composition.  I think I will try this option more often on other things and people, thanks to Mack for not liking your photo taken, you've given your Mom a new perspective
