Day 10 of Project 365

10/365

Gone to the Dogs

I doubt anyone doubts my enthusiasm for this project. I love the challenge and the surprise in finding a shot I had no idea was there until I took it but I knew today would finally come. Even though I carried my camera with me this morning when I left the house for work, just to make sure I didn’t miss any opportunities that might come my way, time, opportunity and inspiration was just not there for me today. I fed the animals in the dark tonight, getting mud (hopefully that was all) all over my pants. Then Phillip called about 30 minutes after I finally got back in the house and through with that awful chore for the night and said his brother David saw a cow that looked a lot like one of our out on the road. We did NOT discuss why I was being told this now, after I had already been out there and could have easily done a head count when I fed and while they were sitting their happy behinds in a restaurant and while it still was not raining. So, rubber boots back on, flashlight in hand, I go back out and track down where the cows were bedded down for the night and to a head count. Grrr. They were all there, thankfully.

I actually forgot for a little while about taking my picture for the day. Then I thought, OK, I have avoided taking pictures of the puppies so far because they are too easy of a target. I always take pictures of them. But I figured, today needs to be an easy day, so here you are. Big Al. If you happen to notice any distortion or blurriness, that will be Big Al’s nose print on my lens! Apparently he wanted to see what I was looking at through the other end.
