Another nice day weather wise in Ohio. It's starting to look like we might have a spring. Too often it seems to go from winter one day to summer the next and we miss the entire spring season. I had some of the dogs out. Bingo has been our foster dog for the past 2 years. You'd think a small dog like him wouldn't be a problem to find a home for. Wrong. Bingo is a bit of a scardy cat and when he gets scared he poops. Somehow that seems to turn people off. He loves being outside and running. He always tries to get someone to chase him. Today he found a stuffed toy and was running back and forth trying to get someone to play.

Another almost warm day here in NW Ohio. I took the dogs out to potty late this afternoon and took a few pictures. Rory is our Chesapeake mix. Looks like he's put on a few pounds over the winter and needs to get out some more. Wally is his back to normal after his hair cut. And Bitzer is a new guy. He's still gets a little anxious being out with everyone and is a little unsure about things. But every once in a while his inner puppy comes through and he takes a quick run around the yard.

When I took the dogs out at noon I took along my camera. For some reason no one wanted to stay out by Wally, our Planned Pethood foster dog, and Chicklet our maltese mix. I converted Wally's picture to black and white. We'll see if that helps get him adopted.

Another Saturday and another Planned Pethood adoption event. I don't have the stats yet, but it looks like a lot of dogs were adopted or are pending adoptions. And I got a lot of great pictures of the dogs that were there. And as usual there was the group that were whining about why I don't take whole body pictures. Why can't they understand that no one has ever said that they fell in love with the dogs body, they fall in love with the eyes, and when you only have a small thumbnail to draw someone in, it has to be a close up.

I belong to the Port Clinton Photo Club and try to attend meetings once a month. Last night Doreen showed how to make a photo box to take pictures of glassware. I didn't have my dSLR along, but I did have my Canon Powershot and tried taking some pictures with it. I did a little photoshoping on the picture and took out the line between the floor and the back. I took a picture of the set up too.

It was the first nice day of the year here. Temperature was in the high 60ºs today. I stopped at Wildwood metro park and took a walk on one of the trails. Everything is still monotones, nothing has greened out yet. I took these through the trees and photoshop the heck out of them.

Finally off of work after working 7 night straight. I did sleep a bit in the afternoon and when I got up I went out with the dogs and took a few pictures. This one of Rory, who's gained a few pounds over the winter I especially liked.
