This caught my eye the minute I saw it.  Every inch of this basket and trunk had an interesting shape or texture.  I couldn’t walk by without stopping to photograph them.  A black and white conversion seemed a logical choice for processing so that the viewer isn’t distracted by color.

When I first launched my website many many moons ago, I had a monthly contest and asked visitors to guess what I photographed in an image.  All those who guessed correctly had their names put into a bowl and my cat, Socrates, would draw one name.  The person selected would win a print of any photo on my website.  It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed to enjoy it!  Especially Socrates who loved playing with the folded papers each month!  Socrates was a paper chewer, so getting him to select the name without eating it was a challenge!  Can anyone guess what I photographed in this image?  Anyone who guesses correctly will have their name put into a bowl and we’ll see what Brewster and Savannah have to say about choosing a winner!

It was great to finally get out to photograph a show over the weekend!  The sights, scents, and sounds were so welcoming after being away for a few months!  I enjoyed visiting with my friends and seeing the dogs that I love to watch and photograph in the ring!  So happy that, for me at least, it’s dog show season again!

This was one of those scenes that I came upon at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina and the second I snapped the photo I thought to myself, “Yep, that’s a keeper!”  This image just exudes pure joy!

Last time I visited Eckley, Pa., many of the historic homes had pretty cotton quilts hanging from the windowsills.  I’m not sure if they were being dried or if the quilt is a sign of welcome to guests…or…maybe they were there for a completely different reason.  I have no idea, but they brought some color to the otherwise monotone look of the wooden buildings.
