5/52 Beautiful landscape.

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature.  It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.  ~Henry David Thoreau

4/52 Rough and Tuff...

Tuffy DeLude

Although she looks like a princess, don't let that fool you.

She was always exploring and always on the move. She only sat when bribed with treats.
Lots of them!

She was one of the toughest shoots I've had!

I guess that's why they named her "Tuffy."

3/52 Ebony and Ivory...

together in perfect harmony.

Ok, so it's really Simon and Winston.
 I photographed these guys for next years Hometown Hounds last week at Adler Park. 

Simon is an adorable scruffy terrier pup that didn't really like to sit...at all.
Winston is a regal and beautiful English golden retreiver who was a bit better at sitting...but not by much.

2/52 If the shoes fits...

buy lots of them! 

My daughter Taylor loves shoes. Lots of shoes.  I want to remember her little feet in all her cute shoes, before they aren't so little anymore.
Good thing I don't have to buy shoes for Finn.

1/52 If a picture is worth a thousand words...

this must be worth two thousand.

This is the first of my 52 photos. It's only fair that it be of Finley.
