Tenacious Little Bugger

I took this shot maybe a week ago early in the morning. The Mocking Bird was continually dive bombing the Hawk perched at the top of the tree. Initially the Hawk ignored the much smaller bird but the little birds tenacity defeated the Hawk’s size. Once the Hawk was finally fed up he took off into the woods. My take away from this…I need a longer lens ha-ha.

Day 37: Rough-housing

What better way to welcome the new puppy to the family than to wrestle and knock him onto his back. I promise no puppies were hurt in the making of these photos.

Day 36: June Moon

The moon was out early last night and the way it was illuminated allowed me to capture some great detail even with a limited focal length of 300mm. Shot with my Canon 7d mk2 and Tamron 70-300 and processed in Adobe Lightroom to enhance the detail and attempt to color correct a little.

Chocolate Lab Puppy

A few more shots of the little guy. Still no name, but my suggestion is Bergeron.

Already has quite the personality.

He was chasing Oshie.

What you looking at?

He is very photogenic.

Taking a break and watching the big boys.

Exhausted from running with the big dogs and meeting his new family.

Day 34: Cooling Off

Saturday afternoon was spent canoeing with Nancy, my brother Ethan, his roomate Scott and their dog Boston. Oshie and Boston seemed to enjoy watching us struggle with manuevering the canoes but they enjoyed the swimming even more.

Oshie loves the water but he has only ever been to the beach so he has never actually done any real swimming. He did well especially when we had the life jacket on him. When we took it off he struggled a bit but a few more trips to the river and he will be like a fish.
