ok back to dog pics! its been quite the chore finding toys that dont get destroyed within minutes. Someone suggested a traffic cone! Well they had full size and half size ones on sale at lowes, I figured id try the half size ones to see how they held up.

not very well, but the picture amused me.

*note, toy not recommended for dogs that swallow what they chew off...as noted in the picture...pag doesnt have that problem lol

(This is my first POTD since Photobucket/Adobe gave me some problems and I started a thread asking for help. Thanks everyone, and to George especially, for detailing exactly what you did after d/l-ing Flash 10 - tell your wife that this time you weren't confusing. Icarus, I'm glad that your posts in that thread helped someone else who is using picasaweb.)

The bird pictures are so beautiful and sharp, Kristin. Your equipment must be very heavy. I took some pictures with my little iPhone tonight and was quite pleased with the results.

Sunset at Laguna Beach, CA.

I had put the iPhone away but kept watching the sunset and saw the green flash. Two other people saw it too so I didn't imagine it.

Some more Laguna pictures taken some time ago.

. . . its been quite the chore finding toys that dont get destroyed within minutes . . .

Your photo brought back memories of our shepherd. We learn the hard way that shepherds go through about an 18 month period of irrational behavior by which their energy level is never switched off and they chew on things despite knowing that they should not. In our case, it all magically stops when she hits 1 1/2 years of age and she grew up ( or better to say that her brain came on-line ).

In that interim she chews on shoes, a couple of dresser legs, & she digs holes in our matress a few times ( my first solution was to flip the mattress over; when she dug on that side I turn the mattress so that the hole is on my wife's side . . . that worked for a while until she dug her third hole & I flip the mattress again -- thank goodness her behavior improved and we were able to buy another mattress ).

Her most memorable memorable day is when I come home to discover her chewing on a 12 pak of beer cans that I had temporarily set aside in the living room. Many of the cans were punctured and the rug was soaked & everything smells of beer. I call my wife at work and tell her to stop at the store to rent a rug shampo machine and to buy a muzzle. I ask my buddy who owns shepherds about this crazy behavior. He tells me that it's part and parcel with a shepherd and that this is why one needs a cage when leaving them home alone. I ask my friend why he never tells me this . . . he says, " because no one ever told me! "

I wish I had taken photos of those events as now that she's gone, we miss her dearly.

PS:

try one of those ultra hard balls the pet stores sell. They will last a lifetime . . . but you gotta get your throwing arm in order and go to the park where you can really fling the ball to tire them out before you poop out.

Great picture, Robert. The reflection of the sky in the river is wonderful. I love reflections in the water.

Continuing the "reflections" theme:

Alta marea en la boca del rio tuito, Yelapa, México

(High Tide at the Mouth of the Rio Tuito, Yelapa, Mexico)

Yelapa is a village on the south shore of the Bay of Banderas, in a cove at the mouth of the Rio Tuito. The surrounding mountains are rugged, and Yelapa is not accessible by car or truck. Yelapa is an old fishing village, but now caters to tourists, most of whom are English-speaking.

We had just arrived in Yelapa by water taxi. Calm weather and slack water at high tide created this nice reflecting surface on the river.

Parts of the village were still in part shade, whereas the sand was brightly illuminated. The photo is an HDR merge made from three exposures, ±1 EV.

I took this picture during our trip to Puerto Vallarta last month. Because the photo was taken in Mexico I tried to title it appropriately in Spanish. (That also forces me to practice my Spanish a bit.) My Spanish is limited (estoy apriendo); I apologize if I've made some mistakes.
