Dog Kisses

The dogs have grown very fond of licking Paxton.






What does Paxton think? Eh, not so much.


Sticker is working on his ups.


And we also found out that dogs and cats can coexist. Perhaps the centuries old battle is coming to an end.

Project 52 - Week 4

Still going strong with Project 52. Similar to week 1, I went back to some dark shots with long exposure and candle light. This was shot with a warming filter for about 1 and a half minutes.

What those pets are up to

You might recall when we got Boston Pugsley a few months ago. Friends and family are always asking what he looks like now. Apparently he looked a bit strange as a puppy. Not much has changed.


He's still pretty weird. We were told he was a Bug (Boston Terrier and Pug mix). But he's more of freak of nature than anything else.



Scarlett has been getting some compliments on the weight she lost. That was the reason we got Boston. She was just lying on the back porch getting fat as she refused to move around. It was almost like a sit in protest. She wouldn't move until she came in and then she acted like she was on crack.






Sticker is a weird cat. At our old house he would roam all over the neighborhood. We moved here and now he barely leaves the backyard. Who has a backyard cat?





They all hangout in the backyard. The two older ones like to lay around while Boston terrorizes both of them and keeps them in shape.

Photos of the lake in the dead of winter

I had mentioned in my Week 3 post that I would post a few more pictures of our Lake Hefner excursion.











We all had a great time. It was about 55 and sunny. With the track that goes around the lake it makes for quite a crowd.







I spent so much time trying to get the lighthouse photo to work. So, I missed a lot of other opportunity for good pictures.








I was trying to use a density filter to get some long exposure shots in daylight however I'm pretty new to this filter so it wasn't working out that well.







You can see more on our trip from Caitlynne's blog.

Project 52 - Week 3

We went out to Lake Hefner in OKC on Saturday. It's one of the best nature views in the city. With a sunset and some great colors it was a great place for week 3.





I actually had a few other photos that I really liked for this post. So check back later this week as I plan on posting them.

You can see Week 1 and week 2 on this blog or check out my Flickr to see the rest of my photos.

Project 52 - Week 2

On to the second week of my Project 52. As with week 1, this shot took a lot of time to get the lighting like I wanted it (still didn't get it like I liked it).

I'm sure that the further into the year I get the less intensive my shots will be.

9 months were here and gone

Another excuse to shoot some photos of Paxton.






Our backyard fence doesn't do practical things like keeping our dogs in the backyard, but it is great as a backdrop.





Paxton is getting less enthusiastic about having a camera in his face.





But all-in-all I think he had a good time.


Until he got bored and took off.


See all the photos on my Flickr page.

Project 52 - The first week

I don't really do New Year resolutions. If I am passionate enough to make a change about something I can start right away. And if I just think of something I should change because it's the beginning of a year then it's probably not something I'm going to stick with.

So, I am starting a Project 365 - in a sense. I am going to do a Project 52 with one unique photo a week. It's not a resolution. Just a convenient time for me to start a project. So here's to another great year...
