Just another average photo blog

The calendar kiosk at the mall had calendars on sale for $1, so we grabbed a squirrel-a-month calendar for Anubis. (I know, cruel!) He was curious, but not thrilled. “What the hell are those squirrels doing in the house?”

Anubis seemed to get upset that his ball was getting cold in the snow.

Anubis digs in the snow to find his ball as Guinness gallops toward him. 

……and they’re OFF!

Craig plays with the dogs in the snow.

Guinness also had a great time in the snow when we took him to a closed park during the storm last week.

I suppose Guinness is thinking, “WTF?” in this shot. I was shooting with my 100mm, so I couldn’t get far enough way to show that Craig is holding Guinness over the snow. Instead, it makes for a very odd and bizarre photo that made me laugh when I saw it load on my computer.

Anubis had a great time playing outside during last week’s snow storm.

We had quite a bit of fun with Anubis during last week’s snow storm (we’re pretty sure he had fun, too!) when we threw his ball into the snow piled high on one of the chairs on the deck. Snow or no snow, he was determined to find that ball!

Guinness romps through the snow during last week’s dump of about a foot of snow. 

One leg hop on Flickr.

This fox sparrow (Scientific name: Passerella iliaca) spent some time (among its many other bird friends) in my backyard during last week’s snow storm. It tried desperately to stay warm as it switched from one leg to the other. One foot warm, one foot cold, switch! One foot cold, one foot warm, switch!….

@CraigD took a photo of me sporting my ToeToe socks from @SockDreams at the Mandalay Bay aquarium in Las Vegas. Love them so much! (And, yes, Craig asked me how big the fish were at the aquarium. *sigh*)

Spotted towhee on Flickr.

This spotted towhee (Scientific name: Pipilo maculatus) romped through our snowy backyard to reach some suet I put on the ground. It was still snowing when I took this picture, so those scratchy lines on its back feathers are actually falling snowflakes.

Playing pool on Flickr.

This pool player is one of only a few full-person neon signs at the Neon Museum’s Neon Boneyard (or at least the only one I saw during our walk-thru visit). What attracted me most about this particular player was the plastic toy baseball on the end of the pool stick.
