Luna at the lake. Tough to get this with manual focus but managed a few.

I miss her. She died a bit over a year ago.

That's a wonderful portrait, Bob.
I'll bet her death is one of the reasons you haven't shown us any other dog portraits in a long time.

Thanks, Eric. ... I stopped taking studio portraits of dogs when I became disabled about four years ago. Of all the types of photography I've done as a pro and as an enthusiast, I enjoyed photographing dogs more than anything. The real trick to getting good studio photos of pet dogs is knowing how to manage a dog's human.

That's what I have often suspected.
I'm sorry about your disability, but you have produced many memorable images since your doggy days ended.

Excellent portrayal. Vivid, natural and poignant. Is it bw or colour?

Looking at the eyes I would say BW.

It's a black and white picture. Her eyes were brown.

Lovely portrait of Luna. The weather in the Flatirons has been great. Looks nice from your part of the state too.

Thanks! Yes it was beautiful but now it's time to start accumulating a little snow. I'm hearing maybe Friday things will change.

Neither my moggy nor my wheels - were it my wheels Moggie'd be long gone.

Usually, instead of cats on top, we get rats under the hood; they chew cables and leave piles of mess on top of the battery.

That's why we never got another dog.

I thought about it once or twice after I lost my wife, but realised it wouldn't be fair for the dog;  they need more energy than I have to give. I wouldn't go for a small one, so lots of exercise is obligatory, and I never walk for more than about an hour-and-a half a day. When we had the last one, an Alsabrador, she got that twice a day, plus swimming in the sea a few times a week. I couldn't take another heartbreak, but the reality is that a dog would probably outlast me, then what for the pooch - the vet?

 Since it's almost "The Season" we put our Christmas Tree up today. Here's a quick shot of the tree with the Boys standing (lying?:)) guard  :)

Nice dogs, must be expensive to feed!

Looking at the vase of flowers reminded me of home, here, where the water is so hard that the use of such vases quickly turns them ugly because of the rapid build-up of scale on the glass. Who would have imagined? It was one of the reasons I abandoned my brief trip into running a darkroom here after installing air-con, building benches and having plumbing installed. Yeah, I know, I tried filtration and it couldn't cope with the grit.

:-(

P.S.

My mother also had a mania for collecting angels and cherubs.
