The benching area at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina is my favorite part of the event.  Visitors have an opportunity to meet the dogs up close and personal, learn about the breeds, talk with the owners/handlers, and just plain old have a great time in the company of the most beautiful dogs in the world!  These are 3 of my favorite shots from ‘behind the scenes’ at the show last Saturday.  Be sure to turn in to NBC at noon on Thanksgiving (all time zones) and watch The National Dog Show with hosts David Frei and John O’Hurley.  I would tell you who wins Best in Show, but I’m sworn to secrecy!  You’ll have to tune in to find out!  🙂

The early bird gets the ….. sunrise photos!  I was on my way to The National Dog Show presented by Purina yesterday and couldn’t resist stopping to photograph the wonderful fog that had settled into the valley overnight.  The sun was rising in the East, but this was facing west and the sky was filled with the first hint of orange.  Pennsylvania’s weather is so unpredictable.  Yesterday afternoon the temperatures were in the upper 60’s and it was a wonderful day.  Overnight, a winter storm arrived, dropped a couple of inches of wet snow, and it’s currently 34 degrees in my back yard.  I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
