Give it a go! Your picture of the walking path through the trees would have been a great B&W image for this contest.

I had a tough time choosing between this picture or the picture that would have been my entry for bridge over troubled water. As I posted the bridge picture in the disqualified thread I figured I would go with this one as at least it is new.

:smile: Leave it to a guy to notice that. And here, I was just thinking that he's going to get some social worker all in a tizzy with that and will be getting a knock on his door shortly. :rolleyes:

Thank you MIH, I was very lucky to get a shot that good of her. She is a pure bred German Shepherd, abour 12 years old now and unfortunately her age is catching up with her.

What a cutie! :-p Beautiful picture. I love the expression on her face. When I see an animal focusing like that, I can't help but wonder - what is he or she thinking.

Hey Chi, starting your kids on Sam Adams pretty early, eh?

I agree with Cyrus, it does look like he's preparing to write in the snow. Either that, or he worships trees. :smile:

Hey Cyrus, very cool. Where is that? I am guessing Iran, but it could easily be Syria or Egypt.

We have a dog too.

Anyone living in the snow belt with a dog is familiar with yellow snow and poopsicles. :biggrin:

It's based on a true story - keep that in mind when you watch the DVD. :wink:

I took that picture quite some time ago but if I remember right the other dog was at the other end of the driveway and she was getting ready to take after him.

Even dogs are not immune to that guy/girl tension. :smile:

That's a fairly depressing picture ZapperZ. Beautiful, but oddly depressing.
 
  • #53
Yes, I can do "depressing" when I feel like it.

Your first guess was correct. :wink:

Just to make it clear, 2-year-old Benny was NOT given a full bottle. In fact, I can personally attest, and I will swear to this in any DCF proceedings, the bottle was not even half full!

And also, to put your worries further to rest, Benny wandered home LESS than two hours later. He's a very responsible young man.

You have less than 2 days left to submit a photo for this contest, if you dare! So far, all the pictures have been outstanding, so this promises to be another difficult contest to vote on.
