This slideshow is of our visit to the Wickenburg Dog Park today. Cabela and Bay Bay always have a lot of fun when we go. The Mama and the Daddy also get a little exercise chasing these two around the park for three laps or so. Click on the slideshow above to advance through the seven images.
Cabela and Bay Bay anxiously wait at the backdoor screen while the Mama is out back throwing veggie scraps in the wash for the local critters. They would like for the Mama to give them the scraps, but there were too many of them for a couple of eighteen pounders.
Regardless, they paid close attention while the Mama did the distribution for the wild critters. Click on the image to enlarge.
I got myself a new Canon EOS Rebel SL1 camera as a late Christmas present to myself. I also bought the book “SL1 for Dummies” as a reference. I studied the text and began to find opportunities to hone my skills as a photographer like Verna already has for years.
I found that our little Beethoven is a willing subject for my ventures into the world of photojournalism. He is not intimidated by the camera and he (sometimes) poses at my verbal command. Cabela, not so much. She tries to bite the camera if I get it too close to her.
Bay Bay was on the spa cover in the back patio and posed while I took several photos of him using a camera mode and settings good for portraits, according the “Dummies” text. I liked this one that captures the details of his handsome little face while pleasantly blurring the background such as to draw the observer’s attention to the dog. Click on the image to enlarge.
Snow has been forecast in Wickenburg for New Year’s Eve and Day. Verna is ready for it with her recently acquired snow hat. Click on the image to enlarge.
Here’s the guys curled up on the sofa watching the Sunday football games on TV. Bob will sit on the sofa and Bay Bay will curl up next to him. I got a blanket to cover up the little dog as they both relax and enjoy the game. Until the next time to go for a walk, that is. Click on the image to enlarge.
It just doesn’t get much cuter than this. Great Grandson Baby Alexander David poses for a snapshot clad in Christmas garb. Picture taken in Santa Rosa, California just before three months in age.
