A Photographic Journey

Wildlife & Pets

Day 262: Fellowship of the Birds


Day 260: Wolf


Day 258: Sugar Ray


Day 244: Super Dog

Our personal super dog, Krypto.

Nice little footnote: in the “Krypto” episode of the TV series, Smallville, Clark names his own golden retriever, Shelby. Our golden just happens to live in Shelby County. True story.


Day 173: A Good Dog

Our Golden Retriever looking at me with those big brown eyes, probably thinking to himself, “I wish this idiot would stop sticking that thing in my face.”

I grabbed some nice shots of the Pixie at the soccer fields tonight, but then I noticed this guy hanging out. I’ve always had a thing for Husky’s, so he got the nod over my daughter. She’ll forgive me. I think.

Day 40: Snow Dog

Snow Dog

My dog loves the snow. I think he’d stay out there playing in it until he froze.


Day 29

Spent the day at the Memphis Zoo with the family. I had a hard time picking my photo for the day, but this is the one that made the final cut.


Day 23

It’s a dog-tired Sunday.


Day 9

Well, apparently a certain furry-being got wind that the cat made it in the project before him. So, I finally got him to sit still long enough for a few shots. Happy now, Krypto?


Day 2

I was really hoping to keep the “I’ll just take a few shots of the cat today” until later in this project, but I’ve been sick for almost a week, so cut me some slack. Besides, Rogue was an extremely accommodating model.
