One Week To Go

Only one more weekend off and then its back to shooting trials. One more astro photo before we get back to pictures of the pups. This is M13. There are about a 100,000 star in that puppy and its about 25,000 light years away. Also note the small galaxy NGC 6207 in the lower left corner.It's about 120 million light years away!

Moon Break

Well, a little break from shooting agility this week. The weather co-operated and I got a chance to sneak and catch a few moon shots.

MACH Firemark's All Wound Up UD SH XF ("Spinner")

Hurray! Karen and Spinner finished their MACH at the Capital City Cocker Club trials last weekend. They did it the same day and at the same venue that Spinner's half sister MACH Firemark Hot Flash CD OF ADHF ("Jody) owned by Cindy Briggs got hers. What a weekend for the Firemark dogs.

Cocker Club Bearded Collie

Here is a shot of a Beardie enjoying the superb facilities at the Capital City Cocker Club agility trials last weekend. Thanks to the club for having us and let's hope we get to use this great facility next year.

Beagle's Everywhere's

Thanks to the National Beagle Club of America for having us shoot their National Beagle Specialty Show. The dogs had a blast and so did we. See you all at Belroi next weekend.

Up Up and Away!

Thanks to DOTC of Lynchburg for having us photograph the event. A very warm but fun trial. Here is a picture that drew a few oohs and ahhs from the gallery. We're off to the beagle specialty next week.

Awwwh The Stars!

Well, not exactly a dog picture or an underwater picture but I did get a new telescope mount recently and this is its first light: M81/M82 M81 are galaxies about 12 million light years away! M81 is the bigger spiral galaxy. 30 minutes with a Nikon 500mm f4 lens.

Big Intentions!

Here is a nice working Cardigan Corgi putting a sheep back in its place. Thanks to the PBCA for having us do the photos for their herding trials last weekend. The weather turned out great and the event went off like a charm.
