Clicking Mad

thanks snook

weibritty - great expression she has for Halloween!

sammies - love the shadow, of course Angus is adorably cute, those ears

annie - good one with Cowboy's flying spit

oh yeh gila - love Spencer's look :D

Lotus 44/52 - going hard after the ball at the beach, jumping waves head first

and Chester's prefered pasttime at the beach ;)

Riley's Mr Serious is cool!

Love Asti's little powdered nose and what a gorgeous little brother she gets to play with :D

Sweet Maggie girl on her birthday, she looks so proud of herself.

Wonderful portrait of Spencer, such a cute curious pose, nice angle too

~~~~~~~~

Lotus 43/52 - wobble-butt (one of her nic-names) ... been meaning to show off her half-tail (she was born with) all year ... but couldn't just leave it with her tail, so put it together with a head-shot (not the best in the series, but couldn't go past her expression ... ever compliant )

A quick trip down to the river on one of the warmer mornings this Spring, Chester 43/52 - cooling off ... not a swimmer, but will take a dip now'n'again

I've included this last shot as it was going to be his weekly shot before the river trip. Since I no longer have access to lightroom thanks more to an unfortunate hot water system bust which has basically financially ruined me for a while, I only have elements8 for editing ... I need to learn how to use it efficiently, so far it's just purely frustrating ... so this wasn't really what I had in mind when I took it, but just a mindless play

Chester

and since I'm here, I hope no one minds me adding another unlikely edit via elements8 of Lotus giving me a funny look too this week

:D

ps: I am so over this, so I'm sorry I've pretty much been just posting and running the past few weeks ... but of course I can't quit now only 9 weeks out

I'm sure one would learn a lot from it, tempted to but so-not-going-to do it myself ;)

CHICKEN

bok bok

there's a group/project I found on flickr the other day called "100 strangers", I'm sure one would learn a lot from it, tempted to but so-not-going-to do it myself ;)

oh what a gorgeous happy smiling face ... a good witch for sure :D

Maggie!!

that hat is sure impressive, even moreso for keeping it on :D

glad you got some toys for your efforts

wow! thanks for sharing Ripley :D

Lotus 41/52 - Luka the kitten loves Lotus

Chester 41/52 - a beach sunset series

and a couple of quick shots for this week

Lotus 42/52

Chester 41/52

:D

finished

yup couldn't help myself, have uploaded the bubbles/foam brief here

have no ideas on the sequins but will probably upload some lame thing

have done a shot for the others, none of which are particularly inspired, but hey, I figure if I go to the effort of taking them, I may as well upload them ;)

and Chester's 40/52 quickly, not that impressive

something in the air ... hmm ... probably the ducks ;)

cheers :D

Well done with Marlo's photo, so great with the heart-shaped bokeh, and nice expression from her :D

Maggie looks like she's been having fun over the past few weeks, love the playfulness of week 39!

love your lot together tlc and Bronson's bit of disobedience ... I took a group photo the other day at the park ... must show it ...

I had to get Lotus' up now for week 40 'cause I just love it, it's nothing particularly special but her happy smile is killer I was sending her off to run through the puddle at the park, and recalling her, no ball involved ;)

Lotus 40/52

and here's the group spoiler shot :D

so wonderful!!

wonderful! love 'em having so much fun :D

I've made a habit of going early to the beach, it's just so nice and peaceful

Happy Birthday Spencer love week 39 too, very cool :D

Riley looks like he loves his toys

Helen - really like that blue sky, the picture of Spring to me

Asti looks great in her pool. I really need to get me one of those!

Cowboy's a dedicated fan 'eh

and ... before we get too far along into the next week, here's week 39/52

Lotus before the rain started

and Chester

:D

loving the photos everyone, but just barely able (well, already late) getting mine up ... time is really getting away ... and I had a major computer overhaul (accidentally on purpuse) just before the end of week 37 which put me back badly

sorry to hear of your loss tlc, hope you get the spark back for photography

37/52 - Lotus the happy mud monster

38/52 - Lotus' 7th birthday, had to celebrate with a beach trip ;)

37/52 - Chester only really has a passing interest in retrieving, realistically though he's actually pretty good as long as he has no competition, and there's a good chance of a food treat upon return

38/52 - and for the birthday beach trip, Chester poses on a rock

cheers :D

totally forgot about this for a while until I got my box in the mail today

not sure I really want to do this another year, but I probably won't be able to stop myself

35/52 Lotus

or maybe you prefer a colour version?

or maybe with Chester-bokeh?

36/52 Lotus

35/52 Chester

36/52 Chester

or maybe you prefer a b&w version?

:D

Asti is lovely, really enjoy your by-the-window shots, so much colour in week 34 Again week 35 - love the colours!

Katalily - really nice sleepy pups! what fun to catch up with Helen/Chazer, they all look like they had a ball :D

Snook - great idea, really well done, I love it!! :D

helen - great action shot of Chazer! Nice interaction between the 3 too!

annie - like the relaxing on holiday, nice water at the beach shot too :D

:D

those tollers are so cool! :cool:

but I'm impressed with RubyStar's labs, very nice looking :D

really like this photo :D great tones and interesting composition!

Chester's 32/52 - on the road - found a nice large off-lead park half-way between Melb. and Syd. it's a great break for us

Lotus' 33/52 - very boring park portrait

cheers :D

tlc - cute cuddle, Chester has a similar toy to that one, lotsa blue fluffy legs to play tug with love your happy pack in the car too, I can at least identify half these days, Cooper on the left, Bronson sitting in the middle (if I enabled signatures, I'd probably have them all by now)

rallyvalley - pup is looking great I can't get enough of Toby's ears, they are just the best

snook - love the adidog! the bling is a nice touch too, Justice looks stylin' ;)

wags - gosh Riley is so good!! 2 biscuits and a tongue for balance hehehe ... he looks great on the steps too - looking like he's soaking up the sun, or maybe smelling the air? nice colours!

weibritty - the location week 31 reminds me of the You Yangs? took Chester for a walk there once :D nice bush shot too, I could imagine she's a little camouflaged when running around?

naomi - gosh he is getting big isn't he

annie - yippee! zoom zoom zoom! great cornering angle he's got

gila - Spencer looks really nice on the lounge - like the stripes in that shot

sammies - I love the way you get such great light indoors!

katalily - Tali is so adorable! she has a beautiful head tilt!

helen - love the phone pics! particularly Chazer with Kyla - those smiles are perfect

mtd - tell me about the weeks getting away, it seems to happen to me too often! nice close-ups of Mags, esp. those eyes in the first one!

~~~~~~~

I was at my parents last week, got to enlist my mum's help at their local off-lead park for a nice action shot of Lotus
