Golden Retriever

Photography Contest

So I decided to enter my Pelican Portrait photo into the Popular Photography Magazine month of March best shot contest. I made some changes to it in Adobe Lightroom earlier today to bring out some more features.

I would be grateful of anyone who clicks the link and leaves me a vote! The edited image is posted there and is also the image for this post. Thanks!

So why does your dog stare at you when he poops?

Lunch Adventures

Occasionally I go to the Marina on base during lunch to practice my photography skills and enjoy being out of the office. There is usually an interesting assortment of birds as well as Marines flying overhead in all types of whirlybirds.

Here are some shots I was able to capture today. The weather is just to beautiful but it was a bit bright and there was a lot of smoke clouding the sky due to ordnance being destroyed.

3J2A1640-1 — Brown Pelican touching down

3J2A1686-3 — Not sure what species this is.

3J2A1677-2 — Marine UH-1Y Venom. Sky is grey due to smoke.

3J2A1697-4 — Marines doing Marine things ha-ha

Caretakers

Dogs are just so awesome. I recently read an article, albeit and old one but new to me, about two Golden Retrievers who took care of their owner for two days when she fell. Judy at the time was 76 and had two Goldens ages 10 and 4. She lives with Parkinson’s disease and other than her pups to keep her company she lived alone.

Well apparently one day she had a fall in the kitchen and did some pretty serious damage to herself and was unable to get any help. Her loyal pups laid right by her side keeping her warm and making sure she wasn’t alone until help arrived two days later. Now that is some loyalty and serious love. Anyway here is a link to the full article in case you wanted to read it and watch the video.

Cheers!
