The Splash



She runs as fast as the Flash. But seems like “the Splash” is a better super hero name for her (her alias is “Max”).

Fur bossies








In our house the animals rule…and they are all seniors.
Walking the fence line

She’s ever so ‘portant.
The A.A. Milne poem, Lines and Squares, with which Becky of Winchester announced this challenge came to mind when I saw this photo of my niece walking Asta beside our neighbor’s fence…carefully walking in the squares.

A little Black and White with the tide out

Bren, at Ryan Photography, posted a low tide picture for her Mid-week Monochrome. It got me wondering what the photo I posted for Wordless Wednesday would look like in monochrome.

Faster than a speeding bullet
It’s been a long time since we had a puppy in the family. Boy is she fast!…and fearless.
I wish I had that much energy.

The Boss
We could identify the real boss by his attitude and swagger. He went from table to table checking in with every customer and visiting, like every good restaurant proprietor I’ve known. So I dubbed him (Chinese style) “The Proprietor XiaoGou”. Xiao Gou means “little dog”.
On my recent visit to Shouguang (Weifang Prefecture, Shandong Province, China) a near-by coffee shop run by an old guy and his tiny, but plump, little dog was a favorite place for me to get my morning eye-opener and check in with the folks back home. The tip of the crutch gives you a good idea of how small the dog is.

No rain…but here’s a deer
For Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Animals this week, I’ve been playing with some of the Black & White Filter Presets in Adobe Lightroom using a couple of pictures taken at Hurricane Ridge (Olympic National Park in Washington State) last summer.
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
And a couple of dears:
My Empress
…and my half sister Sam (we have different mothers!)
The captions (you can see them by hovering over the picture) say which preset was used. I included the originals so one can see how the filter works with the original colors.
Happy holidays, whatever flavor you prefer and a Merry Midwinter!
Chasing a squirrel
“Come down. I just want to play!” says Ginger to the squirrel.
