Little Blue Dog

Little Blue Dog

Daddy was fooling around with the camera that sounds like a puppy today. He got this picture of me in the great room just after I had my dog treat.

I am a “blue” miniature pinscher and quite rare – most people have not seen one like me. Yes, I am special. Click the picture to make me bigger.

New Family Portrait

Family Portrait

We were just getting ready to go to the supermarket today, when I grabbed my little Canon A710-IS camera, set it on the courtyard wall and got this picture of us and the two min pins. The camera has an ingenious option to set the automatic delay timer countdown audio to sound like a puppy whining. Notice the dogs both alerted on it and faced the camera as the shutter snapped.

It has been a cool day today, with high temperatures around 55°. I took this image this evening, just a few moments before the sun was completely gone. Click on the image to enlarge.

North Wickenburg Winter Panorama

North Wickenburg Winter Panorama

We drove to the top of the hill behind our house where I took several images to merge into this nice panorama. There is a little wind and the temperature is about 53° and mostly sunny. This view of the mountains north of town has no snow at present, but will likely have some soon with the next winter storm passage. Click on the image to see the full panorama.

Christmas Night Visitors in the Back Yard

Christmas Night Visitors

After Christmas dinner, we went out and saw several of these Javelina (collared peccaries) roaming around looking for some scraps we threw up in the wash earlier. I saw them and went out with my camera to get this photo of these smelly, ugly beasties. Click on the image to enlarge.

Sunset Contrail

It was just another beautiful day in our high desert home today. I took this photo of the sunset punctuated by a high-altitude aircraft contrail. Click on the image to enlarge.
