Three of my favorite things….sailboats, reflections, and water lilies! Nockamixon State Park in Bucks County, Pa. is a beautiful spot for relaxing on a lazy summer day! There is even a swimming pool! Many of the sailboats in the marina have wind chimes which are so delightful when there is a soft breeze! I love visiting this lake!

As soon as I opened this image I saw the dark “spot” in the center/left (above the roof of the houses behind the farm). I zoomed in a bit and lo and behold, it’s a bird flying over the landscape. Question is….what type of bird? It’s large and when zoomed, it just might have a white head. How cool if I accidentally included a bald eagle in flight while photographing the Lancaster, Pa. scenery!

The handler shown in this image always wears a straw hat with a pretty colored scarf around it that matches her outfit. I apologize for not knowing her name, but she always wears such pretty clothes in the ring. This particular day she wore a turquoise and green flowing skirt and turquoise jacket. I had just the right textured background to blend with her outfit and showcase the Belgian Malinois in this image. For me, the straw hat in the corner totally makes this image! Not to mention that it’s the same coloring as the dog, who just happens to be adorable!

I’m a photographer first … and a dog show photographer second. I don’t look to photograph traditional run of the mill images. I hope that my photos convey the heart and soul of the dog and relationships between dogs and their people, be they owners, handlers, or even spectators. If you see me at a show, I’m often trying to find a good vantage point from which to photograph where there is an uncluttered background. I’m looking for interesting colors, patterns, angles and expressions. Something different!
