Are you familiar with this breed? It’s the Selkirk Rex. This is a medium to large breed with a round head and large round eyes. They come in both long and short hair varieties and all colors. They are loving, cuddly and very playful. Their curly coats are very plush!

Just in case the temperature in the house should dip below 72°, Brewster has donned his warm and fuzzy trapper hat. There is no point in risking cold ears when you are buried under a pile of blankets on the couch all day, right big guy?

One of the new American Kennel Club breeds introduced at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina in November was the Wirehaired Vizsla. A member of the Sporting Group, the Wirehaired Vizsla is a medium sized hunting dog with a weather-resistant wire coat and recognizable beard and eyebrows. They have an excellent nose for hunting and tracking both on land and in the water. Pretty darn cute, I’d say!

One of my favorite photography quotes is: “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” (Robert Capa) I love frame-filling images that bring you close to the subject. That may be the result of my love of macro photography, I’m not sure. Even when I’m photographing landscapes, I often use my Canon 70-200mm lens so that I can bring details in closer or eliminate unnecessary elements on the edges. When searching for images in the field, I’m always trying to figure out how to get close enough to compose the image in my camera that I see in my mind. In-camera cropping may not be for everyone as it does reduce print size options, but it works for me!

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is a treasure to photograph. Around every corner you will find sweeping landscapes, farms, old barns, interesting people and animals. I don’t have the opportunity to visit often enough, but plan to venture in that direction a bit more in 2015. Here’s a photo from November that I am just now revisiting to edit and post. I love, love, LOVE the lines, angles and colors in this scene. Well worn wood is a favorite subject of mine!
