Snoopy

Yesterday Marybeth told me that the swallows were making nests in the barn and kept landing on the fence right outside the door. It seemed like a good time to configure the long lens and see what I could catch. The whole time I was moving about, Snoopy, Marybeth and Brianne's horse, was very interested in what I was doing. He's never really been too interested in me (unless I have a peppermint candy for him) and it seemed odd. Poor guy, it's sad to see him bored, he misses his little pony girlfriend.

 

Well unlike all the master bird photographers that I follow here on flickr, I generally don't have much patience when it comes to waiting around for a bird to do something interesting. A lot of nothing and I was ready to go back in the house, I looked over at Snoopy and it seemed like he was posing for me so I caught this shot of him. In reality, he was probably hoping I would give him a peppermint candy. When I took a look on the computer I was a bit surprised but 500mm did him pretty good with the soft light of the slightly hazy, smoke filled air.
