Daily photos 3rd year
At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures.

on August 27, 2011Gorgeous comp and lighting -- what a lovely catch! And, btw, you will definitely be seeing the little ladies in my Daily Post submissions. They're a lot of the reason I don't have time for the dailies any more, so they're where my camera is focused most of the time these days. :-)

Thanks for your comments, Harsh... in answer to your question, Bruno is a Leonberger, although he doesn't look like one right now because we have to shave him in the spring.... :-))
