I tried to go take a sunset picture tonight. I should have gone last night. The colors in the sky were so pretty. Tonight it was very overcast and we have a NE wind, which makes for a very rough lake.

I made a quick trip through the Magee Marsh and took some pictures on Sunday. While I always envy people in the tropics with exotic birds to take pictures of, I guess I should be thankful living so close to such a wonderful place to photograph colorful songbirds.

Another Saturday and another Planned Pethood adoptathon. And as usual I took pictures of the dogs that were there. Perdita is a little chihuahua mix that was there and was adopted. Missy is a black and tan terrier mix that was in terrible shape when we got her. She was missing most of her hair on her body. And although she is still looking a little sparse in hair she does look a lot better. Prudence is a puggle that was adopted by a former student of Prudence's foster mom. Talk about a small world. And Scooby is a newfie mix that I rescued from the pound. I took him to his foster family and I took the picture of him with the family's young son standing next to him. Marley is a border collie mix that was confiscated along with 14 other dogs from a family that was leaving the dogs living in horrible conditions.

A friend asked me to take photos of her baby for her 1st birthday. I used white paper for the background and a white shower curtain for the floor. The little girl was getting tired, so she took a nap while I shot pictures of her mom and dad with their dogs. I did get one picture of Nikki who is the executive director of Planned Pethood which I told her she could use for press releases and her Facebook page.

Well I fixed the photo from yesterday. I love it, even though I can see where the flaw is.

I got up before dawn this am to take photos of the sunrise. I do have one photo that I love of the sunrise, but I'm going to have to see if I can get my son to fix a sun flare on it. Afterwards I went to the wildlife preserve to take pictures there. I found this Blue Heron getting a snack as I was walking back to my car. And this mallard duck flapping his wings when I was driving out.

Not much in the line of photos today, except for this one. I picked up this big guy at the pound. He had been found as a stray. Everyone fell in love with him. Fortunately a foster home was found for him. The kids in the foster family named him Scooby and he is now with Planned Pethood and should be available for adoption soon.
