Fun time

Tess has a date today with Moss, the same dog who sired her first litter. From that litter, all the follow up reports I have are from happy owners, including Jenn who owns Abby, and has competed with her in rally obedience and agility. Abby has won many ribbons and has the distinction of getting perfect scores in obedience. I've been trying for two years for this litter, and this is the first time Tess has come into heat since last December. This will be her second and final litter.

I have been playing around with my camera, it'a a little bulky for packing around but yesterday on my way to work the morning light was so beautiful that I had to take it when I went to work. I think this photo will be a future submission in the local calendar contest.

These big boys were hanging out on the fenceline, looking like they needed a portrait:

Shooting with a telephoto is new to me, the depth of field is interesting, like how the bull at the back isn't in focus. I might play around with some of the settings to see how many different ways I can take the same photo.

I also discovered that in my Windows photo manager photo editing that I could do this- all these years of using it and I had never found this! What fun!
It's in the Rotate and Flip button, I clicked on the "by degree" aid and this is what it does.

Anyway, I'll be packing the camera with me today as I head up to Kimberley area with Shayla; she will be working on Janice's horse again, and I'll be dropping Tess off with her mate. Some lovely scenery up there, and it promises to be another sunny day.
