Delight in the enchanting charm of this small dog sitting on a bed of moss, beaming at the camera with a big, joyful smile. Set against the backdrop of a serene forest, this portrait perfectly captures the dog’s happy spirit and the peaceful beauty of nature, creating a heartwarming scene that exudes warmth and tranquility.

someone gave me this giant cowbell...so of course, I had to do this.

Meet Serena, our newest family member. She’s a 12 pound terrier mix. This sweet angel came to our house last night and our whole family immediately fell in love with her!

Papillon - Butterfly dog

Our new pup settled down in the larger of our two doggo beds. She outweighs Pearl by about four times. They still fight, but somewhat less frequently than a few weeks back. Thank goodness! Slight telephoto and partial green filter in my Sony DSC-HX80.

Times Square, New York

This is a photo about a week after we got her, just wanted to put it up.

—If anyone has the answer, I was wondering what the best way to grow with followers. I’ve not found out what to do because I have 4 and I feel like I’m not doing something right?

I made this photo while Melody and I were visiting Mrs. Lucy Spector in her Hillsborough California home in December 2015, the year Melody retired from missus' store Britex Fabrics after working there 35 years. Chibi was Mrs. Spector's pet and went everywhere with her. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.

Smalldogs and Jenna. This is the first time (but hopefully not the last!) that I've actually met in person someone I'd only previously known on flickr. Smalldogs claims "I'm not a people person," but I think she handled it with more aplomb than I did. I, unfortunately, babbled superficially -- how do you talk to an old friend who you've just met? -- but I really was happy to meet her. (You hear that, S?)

I had to cover a dog event in one of our local parks this weekend.

I am admittedly not a dog lover; I am a fan of cats... and well, dogs that look like this guy!

Too cute! Just like a Star Wars Ewok.

My Aira is complete! I thoroughly enjoyed bringing my little girl to life through my art. ❤️

Because of her cataracts and advanced age, Ritzy has a miserable time navigating in bright sunlight. Donna got her some brand new sunglasses. I think that they are a bit big on her, but that’s size recommended for her weight. Shot with my iPhone 12 and edited with Snapseed Photo Share. In this image, Donna is actually holding Ritzy for the photo.

Saw this miniature Pincher the other day walking with his girlfriend, so had to stop and chat and of course take his (her?) photo. Just as a I clicked and got the shot, he/she turned around to show me that backside. Was it a question of 'wanna see my butt?', so I obliged and took another photo.

Inspired by Susan's "Lou"

Here she is, in her car bed in Donna’s Ford Escape. She’s buckled to a short strap so that in an accident she won’t go flying into the front seat or windshield.

Created with RNI Films app. Preset 'Kodachrome 50's'

in about an hour i'm headed out to breakfast and then the airport, to fly in a plane ("it looks like a big tylenol!") clear across the country to see this woman.

and lo, it will be good.

May you first ask some questions about this almost perfect scientific approach to DoF ?

Taken at 11mm, this is very very very wide. The nose may not be sharp, but the eyes, the really most important attracting point of my prefered dog are perfect in focus ! Consider this as the summit of creativity and art ;-))))

Regarding the background, it's where I lived about 18 years of my "children life"

Regarding the distortion, I like it most this way and find that my parents' dog looks very very attractive so !

Comments like: very cute, way to cute and SO CUTE are naturally ansked and will be most appreciated !

Give a very warm welcome on Flickr to Csara ;-)))

Before I forget, in French, this would be called a typical "Tata Ginette" picture :-)))

Our Daughter has us babysitting her French Bull Dog for a year. He is a chow hound and is always begging for human food. I try real hard to not give in but look at that face. lol

Update. Moose is now our French Bull Dog. Our daughter found out one of the grandbabies is allergic to the dog. So now he takes over my side of the bed and is making my wife cook him chicken for dinner. I get left overs.

And it really would have been nice if I took a picture of her from the front. :)

I got to go down and visit her cool studio space. Do a little dancing. It was great fun!

Susan , it was so wonderful to meet you, and I look forward to our next adventure!!

Sometimes life is just this simple: a sunny corner of the yard and a little "cotton ball" that is always happy.
