Camera Hog

Last post tonight I promise. Keelo is one of those dogs that ends up with lots of photos of him everywhere. These two taken in New Mexico in February are kind of like, look at the mountains or look at him? So a compromise was struck and I took a bunch of photos of him looking all self stacked and show doggy ( well except for having his rabbit hunting ears on) all over the desert countryside. Here are a couple of my favorites. Above Keelo looking back at me like "Hey, are you getting all this?"

and then "Hmmm, I know if I keep my ears up like this I will HEAR a rabbit."

Two very different Floridas

Last December I judged one of the ASFA trial in Northern Florida. LONG LONG drive for me around 600 miles, drove all night and made a minor wrong turn driving into the property so instead of immediately coming upon the field trial, instead I came upon this lovely little lake at sunrise. I parked on the dam and took this photo. If I ever have time again I'd love to paint it, I love these pastels.

Now this "Florida" ( pronounced I believe Flor EE da) is about as dry a place as the one above is water logged. This is the Florida Mts of Southwestern NM with a storm brewing over them in early February of this year. Love all those yucca or century plants or whatthehellever it is they are called in the foreground. I'm sure there are a bunch of jacks in the foreground too but they are hiding.
