Just relaxing in the shade

My mother-in-law and Isabel watching the swimmers this past 4th, as they relax in the shade. Isabel will sometimes venture into the water, but not often. She looks like she could use a tall drink!

One Red Cardinal

 

 

No surprises it snowed today, and snowed and snowed. And it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Shoveling wasn't too bad the snow was light and airy.

I'm not sure if it was the grayness of the day or all the white snow, but the Cardinals at the feeder looked incredibly red. More red that usual. Even the females looked more vivid that usual.

I tried to get a photograph of one and this was the best of the lot. He was in the front yard in a Cedar tree, I was inside.

I am posting a photo of Isabel running around in the snow. She doesn't look like she's hates snow here. She also hates her rain coat.

  I used the Canon 20d and processed both with ACR.

Isabel turns nine.

If it wasn't for the tattoo in her ear, we would know when Isabel was born. Both ears have tattoos, one is a serial number given to all greyhounds and the other is her date of birth and litter order.

Here she is not looking happy, she doesn't like photographs, the cold or snow. It's snowing and I'm trying to get a photo of her, two out of three of things that annoy her the most.

We adopted Isabel in 2003, she was two years old and came from a track in Seabrook New Hampshire. She didn't know how to go up or down steps and she ate really fast, both of which she has overcome.

She's a real mush and loves people.
