Dog Tails & Tail Lights

February 16, 2011

It was dark before we got home tonight, but LillyDee really wanted to play ball. So….we took her to the park, left the lights on the car and let her run to her hearts content. It was dark, but I could still her tail wagging away….

Another Park, Another Sunday

February 13, 2011

Doobie Brothers, anyone?
Spent today taking advantage of the wonderful light to get some captures of LillyDee Williams with her ball and did some riding on my bike.

GrrAnimals

February 6, 2011

My husband is probably the number 1 fan of this blog. Naturally, you have to cater to the likes and wants of your audience.
He likes pics of our animals, or our GrrAnimals, as he calls them. He even texted me while I was at the grocery store, “The GrrAnimals need food.”
So some GrrAnimal pics of LillyDee Williams & OmaHaus this afternoon:

Electricat

The new food I’ve been feeding OmaHaus seems to be doing wonders for her coat – so shiny…seems to almost glow. It’s some uber-cheap food found at an outlet store called Chernobyl Chunks. Yum!

We Had a Ball

January 14, 2011

It’s crazy cold here, but we decided to take LillyDee out for a spin and toss the ball around. These are night shots and the long exposure made it impossible to get LillyDee in focus, but I kinda like the end result anyways! Let me know what you think….

Let Sleeping Dog Lie

January 13, 2011

After yesterday’s post, I began thinking more about LillyDee’s fur.
She got a whole heap of it and doesn’t mind leaving bits of it all around the house. As a matter of fact, she doesn’t think her day is through until every inch of our sofa is covered in a thin layer of her released hair.
I clicked a quick one of her while she slept. I like the way her coat from this angle almost looks like an alien terrain.

Doggie Treat

LillyDee is hardcore when it comes to tennis balls. She gets this crazy intent stare. It’s almost creepy.

Just Wait a Day

May 5, 2010

Hanging out and riding around town with my favorite girl. We hit the park while out and I got some snaps of some mossy trees. Not exactly hard to come by in this area :) I’m thinking I may have over-sharpened these. I am using an action that sharpens for the web, but I need to tweak it a bit more.car ride

Dog Tired

I promise this is not a LillyDee Williams blog!
It’s just that she’s such a perfect model and happens to be around every time I have my camera in hand trying out new techniques.dog tired

It’s a Wash

April 5, 2010

We typically bathe Lilly Dee once a week. It’s usually a big PITA bathing her at the house. But, a few weeks ago we noticed a local car wash installed a dog washing center. We’ve been hooked ever since. This invention is on the same level as the iPad. Genius.
Here I tried a newsprint/Xerox type effect. I’m kinda digging it, how the grain is very amplified and pronounced. Not everyone’s ideal, I’m sure, but I think it’s good to experiment a bit.

Lilly Dee goes Balls Out

April 5, 2010

Lilly Dee is crazy for balls. It’s most definitely her favorite toy. This is my first attempt to capture any action shots. Didn’t go so well. I was only able to catch her coming down from her leap. You’ll see here that I chopped her feet off in my frame. Next time I need to figure out her movements ahead of time to fill her body in the frame.
I think we succeeded in tiring her out.
