Skye's fourth birthday, 8/24

Immediately when the lens came I took the dogs out to the soggy backyard. I really wanted a photo of Skye's birthday, have one for every other year, and I always try out new lenses on them.

This lens, the dogs have to be at the back of the yard. They do not understand this. So I threw treats, the kind they love but are allergic to. Besides the snarling fights, it let to a lot of sniffing ground behavior. I had no control, in my mind, over anything. I was aware that I should focus on the eyes, I just hoped to get part of the dog in the photo.

This is the only decent, or half way decent, shot of Skye. He was 4 yrs old yesterday. He is what is called my "heart" dog. I totally adore this dog. Not that I don't love the others, but Skye, he is special. And the first boy dog I have lived with.

Wow..I didn't realize dogs got depressed when they celebrate a birthday. It's h*** getting old. Happy birthday pooch. Hey Ginger. Nice dog. What kind?

Dog Photos
Ginger hi, happy birthday to Skye. Dog photos aren't easy. Our Rheneas looks something like your Skye, but we don't know his breed. He is a refuge-rescue. He is thought to be a bit Pom, with some Border Collie and maybe some Corgi. We're taking the dogs for an illegal walk in the forest today so will ask them to stand still long enough for a photo while we dodge the Rangers, Difficult. Will post the results here tonight if we're not all in jail.
