I took this just after I’d gotten my DSLR camera. I like the detail and the colors.

My friend took this picture on these geese on the Snake River when we were up in Idaho Falls for an obedience trial. I love this shot, clear and crisp and the birds are very handsome!

On a summer morning, I thought this was a fun shot out in my backyard.

Wordless Wednesday

Strange dream last night.. when I was younger, and this is in real life, I had a black rat snake who was a cool snake. I guess they can be pretty mean and nasty, but this one, his name was Navaar, was friendly and tame. I’d even take him out to the front lawn and let him slither around. He was a very cool snake. Unfortunately he died… but that’s neither here nor there.

Last night I dreamed I had another snake.. not really a pet, as it was not friendly, but it also was a black rat snake. And I was cleaning out his tiny cage, as well as some fish tanks, with my Dad. And the snake got out and bit me. But it didn’t hurt… I saw his teeth go into my hand, deep, but there was no blood, and no pain. I just squeezed his head and pulled the teeth out and put him back in his glass tank. It was odd, but I’m glad it didn’t hurt!

I do like snakes, they fall under the four leg rule. Four legs or less, it’s okay. More, it’s gross. Either way, hopefully the critter, human or non, doesn’t get mesothelioma, as that’s a nasty cancer and no one needs cancer!

I am not sure.. is this a Cairn Terrier? I have forgotten! It’s from the agility trial I went to last weekend.

These Bleeding Hearts are in my front yard. I love them, and I want to plant more. Such color!

I was browsing the web today and found a site that said you can make money selling pictures online. You upload them to the companies’ websites, and when they sell it, you get a portion of the sales.

So I signed up for three of them. One of them rejected all my pictures right off the bat. *cry* But that’s okay. Here is one picture of the agility trial (yeah I know it’s a dog, but most of my pictures are dogs!). I didn’t submit this one, but I think it’s one of the better ones. However, the focus, I think, is on the tire, not on the dog herself. And I’m not sure how to get the focus perfectly on the dog. I focus on the tire and then when the dog jumps through I click. If I have the camera on continual focus, it’s not fast enough (I don’t think) to adjust the focus and click on the dog. But I’ll have to play with it a bit.

My photos were rejected because the focus was not right on the dog. So… I live and learn. I signed up for a photo community, My Shutter Space, and hopefully my profile will be approved and I can read up on some good action shot tips! I love taking pictures, and I love making money… so I do want to put the two together!

I’m thinking of taking a photography class locally… but I don’t have time now with it busy dog sport season. Maybe in the summer I can fit something in.

This is one of the places I joined… still waiting to see if they approve any of my photos:

This is Jezi. She was a foster of ours back in August, September of 2007. Our good friends adopted her, and now she has an excellent home! I love how one ear is up, one is down.

Lichen… is that how you spell it? I’ll have to look it up! This was taken when I was camping. I was in Colorado for a week, then the Husband dragged me off camping, which was also fun, but too cold and windy. Anyway, I was playing with the depth of field, I will get some more shots up this week… I hope!
