Charly was our first dog. She was Husky mixed with Golden Retriever (Goberian).
When diagnosed with cancer after her splenectomy they gave her 2 weeks to two months at most. She gave us 4 great months and was even able to surf the waves in shell beach one last time.

Off the bat, I'm not crazy about this composition. But I wanted a high contrast scene for this moment, because this is HDR. It is a four image composite which is probably close to the bare minimum of how many pictures are recommended for blending a scene like this together. Also, I probably could have widened my exposure levels. I think they were 1 stop or 2 apart per photo. All in all, I consider myself a novice at High Dynamic Range processing but look forward to using it more often. :)
This was processed first in Photomatix Pro 4.0 then re-opened in CS3 where it was shrunken down and sharpened for the web and added the watermark.
I'm also on Facebook!

Charly was our first dog. She was Husky mixed with Golden Retriever (Goberian). Swimming, sniffing, hunting for sea birds.
These two gulls acted as mates, they were searching for a nesting spot, walking together and bobbing heads. Then one found a tasty treat and brought it up. They seemed to be sharing amicably until the sharer attacked the other. It's as if suddenly the urge to be greedy overcame the urge to share with a mate. I don't believe this was a mating behavior, the one that was attacked was driven off the cliff!
Been sitting on this image for awhile now, passing it up with other entries for no particular reason.
Taken in Shell Beach, Calif. The ghostly shape in the picture is yours truely but when I was taking the picture I was thinking of a great friend I once had whose favorite place to go was close to here. I imagine a part of him drifts on the coastal breeze forever a part of the beautiful coast.

as the fog starts to clear.
We hung around for quite a while trying to see through the fog. There were brief periods where we could almost see out there then it got better... then fogged in again. But during that period, the whole crew was visible.
Next photo was after another wait and might be a little clearer.

It was nice an cool below the ground away from the sun. The scramble out is easier than the climb down. There are plenty of spot where the sun streams in like a skylight in the house.

"By the end of the nineteenth century, Yscloskey and Shell Beach near Lake Borgne were thriving communities inhabited primarily by Isleño commercial fishermen. Seafood harvested by these fishermen in the 1800s and 1900s supplied New Orleans restaurants with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of shrimp, fish and crabs."
From great Islanos history:
