Did you guess this breed correctly from yesterday’s post?  It’s the Spinone Italiano.  This breed is a sociable sporting dog that is an excellent hunter and retriever.  They are well known for their superior nose and super soft mouth.  I love their sweet expression and shaggy coat.  I am happy to say that I have a Spinone for a neighbor and he’s one very handsome fellow!

I had a blast photographing at the Harrisburg Kennel Club show yesterday.  Harrisburg is where I had my introduction to dog show photography back in 2006 when I went to the show for the first time, specifically to meet Colored Bull Terrier Rufus, “Ch Rocky Top’s Sundance Kid”, who had just won Best in Show at Westminster that February.  That day changed my photography life, plus I met one of the greatest dogs of all time!  For today’s post, can anyone guess what breed is photographed in this image?

More Lensbaby fun with the Frizzle Sizzle Pansie from the weekend.  The combination of the soft focus rings and my very old Lensbaby 3G (which they probably don’t even offer any longer!) creates one of my favorite looks for flower photography.

I think…I think…I think…SPRING has sprung!!  The garden center had baskets of “Frizzle Sizzle” Pansies and so I had to bring them home to hang on the porch.  They don’t mind cool temperatures and are a splash of color which reminds me that more flowers are on the way!  Here’s a Lensbaby photo from the weekend!  I love the ruffled edges of the petals!
