I remember it like it was yesterday.  Sitting ringside at the show, with my 70-200mm lens, taking close ups while the dogs were being examined by the judge.  All of them poised and putting their best paw forward!  It’s so much fun to have a connection to the dog show community and have the opportunity to see and photograph so many wonderful canines!

When I left for work this morning it was 5 degrees Fahrenheit outside.  By the time I arrived, it had dropped to 1 degree Fahrenheit.  Brrrrr!  Tonight we are expecting 1″ to 3″ of snow.  I need to escape to a warm, sunny beach and feel the sand between my toes.  Revisiting my summer beach photos is just what I need to tide me over until “real” beach weather arrives!  “tide” me over….get it?  Just a little beach humor to help with the winter time blues!

Repeat after me …. lines and angles and windows and corners!  This was a fun architectural scene that I found during a trip to the beach last Fall.  As you’re out and about photographing, always remember to look UP!

I love dogs that have freckles on their nose!  This dog was watching his/her friends in the ring at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show last month.  What an adorably expressive face, don’t you think?

Waiting on the sidelines to go into the ring for the Hound Group judging at a show last Fall is the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen….the PBGV.  One of my most favorite breeds, this is an active, happy and extroverted rabbit hunter.  I love their scruffy look and happy-go-lucky personality!
