A happy small family

Meet my son Jonathan and friend Kim with Shiva. The dog almost looks human If only she could talk!



And some candid portraits of Shiva.

Cool, I love the dog shots Did you have a hard time getting the dog to look at you for the posed shot? I have a hardtime with some dogs, they are afraid of the flash.

The first one with your son and his friend is my favorite. Excellent pictures!

Thanks! I had a quick look in your website. I love the shot of you sitting behind your PC desk with your little baby on your lap. I remember! I'm a (young) granddad already but I still remember the baby time. BTW I was was a teacher too. History. Teacher of the year, huh! Way to go! Now I'm manufacturing candies, omg what happened with my life? :

Thanks! Nope, it was the second shot and I only did two shots. Here are some more shots of Shiva and this one appears regularly on the top of your screen! http://adrian.smugmug.com/gallery/211363/16/17956474

Thanks so much! I saw your excellent grasshopper and nice tree reflections. Both shot with the 717? I still have the 717, but it's dusting since I bought the 828. I won't sell the 717 either. It's an amazing cam.

Thank you so much. Well, I tried my best. I don't want to hijack the thread but our education is very opposed to what I do, bilingual education. I teach primarily immigrants in their native language and English. It takes quite a long time for these kids to learn the academic English they need to be successful so we continue to develop their academics in the native language while learning English. I was fortunate to be recognized by my peers for this. I am actually now in administration, a vice-principal.

BTW, my dog has roots near you. I almost exclusively own Belgian Malinois. They are work dogs and show dogs but when our friend, a breeder, breeds a dog that is more interested in being a pet we get them. Here are a few pics of her. She comes from a Grand Champion in the sport who was actually bred in the Netherlands I think. I would need to look at the papers.

It must be a nice breed cause apparently they go well together with your kids. Thanks for showing here!
