Sleepy Girl

Doing some testing with my new 50mm (Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM).

All: 3200 ISO, f/2.2, 1/50s,

Next two: Ambient light (lamp above and behind sofa back and light from kitchen behind my right shoulder)

New Vantage Point

I’ve taken to leaving the living room blinds open halfway during the day so the dogs can watch the goings on in the cul-de-sac. Buddy has discovered that the sofa gives him a comfortable vantage point.

Nina likes to stand on her hind legs with her front paws on the window sill or just dance on the love seat opposite the sofa.

Fun with Photoshop

Mirrored Maya.

Mellow, most of the time

But he does worry a lot. Here he’s got his eye on the back fence where his two nemeses live and come out to antagonize him. Of course, he can give as good as he gets, and between my two and the two on the other side of the fence who sound just like our two, it can get a bit noisy at times.

Black Bullet

For exercise, Nina runs around the yard at breakneck speed. There is no one chasing her, nor is she chasing anyone or anything.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Window

This week’s photo challenge is “Window.”

I was able to capture Maya by a window this morning.

Monday? Already?

The weekend goes too fast.

This was taken in our backyard this last Friday. Surprisingly, even though it’s been plenty cold for it, the grass hasn’t turned brown yet. I think the layer of snow that sat on it for two weeks had something to do with that.
