Jack and Daisy

Daisy the Giant Beagle

Waiting

I just bet he would rather be inside eating.

Daisy the long legged Beagle

Daisey will sit at any time so that anyone can pet her.  She loves people more than anything except food. She likes dogs too.  She is trained to sit when someone approaches.  She obeys . . most of the time.

Guard Dog

He wouldn’t let me past unless I pet him. Nice dog.

A Walk in the Park

Does she know that she is about to be run down by one of the many vehicles that the city uses to maintain the parks?

Dog bath

I am working on a project that involves taking photos of city parks.  They are hard to photograph because of the heavy tree coverage.  This fountain is a challenge not just because dogs and small children play in and around it but because it is a very dark brown and in the shadows of the trees. I have an idea on how to make it work and plan to take a close up of it soon.  The fountain is in Irvine park just outside of downtown St. Paul.  The park and the homes around it have been restored to look just as they did in the mid 1800′s to early 1900′s.

229

Larger cities have a certain  energy running through them day and night. The photo was taken in Philadelphia PA early on a Saturday morning. It looks better to me in black and white because there are so many colors in it that it is almost confusing. The city workers where bright orange and the buildings are colorful

Clifford The Big Red Dog

I am positive that they put Clifford on top of the Children’s museum so that I can take photos. Either that or they are promoting the breakfast with Clifford thing.  It doesn’t matter, I like it. Clifford wags his tail when the wind blows and you can see him from far away.

Daisy

Daisy hates having her picture taken. She is create trained and as soon as she sees the camera she goes into her kennel. I got by with this one because my daughter was petting her but she does look a little nervous.  She is a smart dog but she has some unusual fears.
