Waves!

Spent a great Christmas in our RV down at the beach. Here's a pup enjoying a little surfing weather! Have a wonderful New Year's holiday!

Flying High

Can't forget our high in trial dog. A great weekend for Mary and Sony. Have a great holiday! See you all in the New Year.

Technical Precision

Here's one from our DKC Obedience trials this weekend. Tech tore it up with this run! Hope you all have a great Christmas Holiday and Karen and I wish you a terrific New Year! We thank you all for letting us cover your trials this year and we look forward to seeing you all at our next trial!

Face Off

A border collie and sheep face off at the PBCA Herding trials last weekend. Great weather, super dogs! See you at DKC next weekend.

Impressive

You don't see many Bullmastiffs in the agility ring but boy they do cast an impressive shadow when they are running and jumping. Here is a big male from our trials in Chatham this weekend. For those herders out there see you at the PBCA trials in a couple of weeks.

Golden Altitude

Speaking of goldens - here is one with a ton of altitude and attitude. A great combination! See you'll in Chatham next week!

Fun!!!!!!!

I saw a few dissappointed faces this weekend at the Youngsville Agility Club trials. I think we all have to remember it is first and foremost about fun! After all your best friend didn't have a choice as to whether they were there or not. I also saw lots of fun times. Cider's JWW run was one of them!

New Senior Hunter In The House!

Congratulations to Karen and Spinner for passing the last two tests of their Senior Hunter title this weekend. They did it at their home clubs tests put on by the Yadkin Valley Retriever Club.

Back To The Brac

Well, I'm back to our home in Cayman Brac for the last time. For those of your who know us we have had a home there since the mid nineties. We have accumulated a great number of fond Brac memories over the past ten years especially from the two years we were fortunate enough to live there full time. Island living is something you will never ever forget. The home has gone to some wonderful new owners who know The Brac well and will fit in just fine. We wish them the very best and will definately miss our island dream.The picture is from the beach looking back into the property.

Who's Winning This Argument?

Well, finally a fall weekend. Great weather at the Gloucester Agility Club trials this weekend where Deb and Billy ran a flawless standard run despite the discussion over this jump. See you at Autumn Winds next weekend.

New Hound In Town

Kinda rhymes doesn't it:-) Anyways, you don't see too many Otter Hounds out and about in the agility circuit. This guy had some nice runs at the DKC agility trials last weekend in Rougemont. Thanks to the DKC for inviting us to shoot. See you all at Tidelands this weekend.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

Well at least your feet. Billy, crossed her feet and she did make it with a great run in jumpers last Sunday at the RDOC Agility trials in Gloucester. Thanks to the club for letting us shoot. See you all at the DKC trials this weekend.

Room to Spare!

Vicky's Parson Russel has room to spare on this triple at the Agility Club of Chatham VA trials last weekend. Boy was it hot! Still a great trial and thanks to Peter for inviting us to shoot.

Patience

Now that's patience! A young golden waiting patiently at the line to retrieve a duck during the hunt test last month in Carlise, PA.

Two Down, Two To Go!

Karen and I were off to Carlisle in Pennsylvania for Spinner's first two senior hunt tests. Karen and Spinner (a great team) qualified in both so my ride home today was quiet and peaceful:-) Here is Spinner taking the cast from Karen on her water double on day two.

Narcosis

Too deep, too much nitrogen, too many colors. Check out the turtles shell:-)

Black and White Sketch

Ah finally a day off. Time to play around with some image retouching algorithms. Here is a black and white sketch I did from a color original. All work done in Photoshop.

Turtles, turtles turtles!

Another one from our Little Cayman Trip. Little Cayman has an abundance of Hawksbill Turtles. This is a shot of one out in the blue. Their were several nesting as well when we visited the islands a couple of weeks ago.

Little Cayman

Just back from a great diving trip to Little Cayman. Photo opportunities galore! Here is one of a Caribbean Reef Squid. We saw a ton of these little guys on this trip. Miss Karen did a terrific job with this closeup.
