Australian Cattle Dogs are such cool looking dogs. They seem to have just a unique blend of characteristics. Thick medium length fur. An awesome speckled to merle coloration. But it seems to only come in two varieties that I have seen. The blue merle like color pictured below and a red color. They have pointy attentive ears. A thick rounded snout. And at the other end a pretty unique looking tail. A… Read More

Some dog breeds you fall in love with on first contact with. Some you slowly warm up to and develop this deep affectionate feeling for. At first I wasn’t sure if the American Staffordshire Terrier was a breed I liked. Repeated exposure has really softened me up to these dogs. It helps when you have experience in shelters, adopt a amstaff mix type dogs, and are able to help some handlers at… Read More

Going to dog shows has introduced me to so many different breeds of dogs. And even at dog shows I don’t see them very often. One such dog is the American English Coonhound. As a person that is really drawn to visuals one of the first thing that draws me to different dogs and dog breeds is often their look. Who doesn’t love a gorgeous dog? I really like the look of… Read More

One of my earliest fascinations with dog breeds focused on what we probably think of mostly as cold weather type dogs, Dogs with thick fluffy fur to protect them from the elements. This fascination grew stronger when I was first introduced to Alaskan Malamutes. I love that they are a large breed of dog and they have that thick luscious fur. It just makes me want to snuggle up to them to… Read More

I love watching dogs do things that only dogs can do. Running through an agility course at warp speed is right up there. It is especially cool for me when I see a type of dog I don’t normally think of as an agility dog running the course. Of course any dog who has worked at it and been trained can run an agility course, but I bet we all have a… Read More

I don’t run a lot of road races, but I like to run a half marathon each year. For me the half marathon is the perfect distance on the road. It really hits the sweet spot. Just the right amount of challenge no matter how you are approaching it. Apparently Skunk Cabbage Classic by the Finger Lakes Running Club has become my annual tradition. It is not a particularly easy course and… Read More

Herring Gulls are large but not the biggest of gulls. They are still impressive birds. Large white bodies. Black wing tips. Bright colored beaks, often with a spot of color on them. Herring Gulls seem to be less afraid than other birds. The Herring Gull will get close to you and allow you to get close to them. It is fun to see these birds interact with their natural environment. This Herring… Read More

One of my favorite things about running is that there is really just about endless variety and options available if you are open to it. I love to do new things. There are just so many aspects of running that one can tweak or change to shake things up differently. Add in more joy when things are getting a little stale by doing something different. Ran first 12 hour timed event As… Read More

I have been working towards photographing the 200 waterfalls in this book that I have. Today I was able to make it to a few more. I went to the village of Honeoye Falls in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The first subject I wanted to photograph there was the waterfall, Honeoye Falls. I wanted to share a before and after photo series here. The image straight out of the… Read More

Over the course of 2021 I did something I have never done before. I took at least one photo every single day. Often many, many more than one photo. Then I took one of the photos I just created on that day and I shared it here on my blog. 2021 One photo a day project: One reason I wanted to do this is there are many times where I feel stuck,… Read More
