Mondays are always busy days for me, today was no different. There was not a lot of time to play with my camera today. What I’m trying to do here is to post a picture a day to witness the progress I make in getting acquainted with the Canon D40, my “Big Guy”.
Now I KNOW I am very ambitious but I do believe it would be a utopian dream to want a GOOD picture each and every day. Today was one of those days nothing really seemed to want to work. The light was too poor to shoot inside early in the morning, what was left of the snow on the patio was not photogenic at all. I even ended up trying to photograph reflections from the pots and pans in my dishwasher! Yes … well … I was THAT desperate!
It was past noon and I had to go to work in the afternoon so I decided to leave a little earlier and walk all the way to work. I did not expect any grand photography today anyway, but at least I would be making some progress because I’ve hardly used it outside my home up until now. Taking the Big Guy for a walk in my own neighborhood is a new challenge for this greenhorn.
I took a brief stroll along the canal and saw this lady with a puppy dog coming towards me. The puppy was an apprentice too and somehow that made me a little less shy. I asked her if I could take a picture of her cute dog and she happily made him pose for me.
He was the sweetest cutest and smartest dog I’ve ever seen. He turned his head and looked straight into the lens because he heard me laugh. Another thing I learned is to use my voice next time to deliberately attract attention …
Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.
Frank Oz
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and
Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Upside Down
Lyrics: Jack Johnson
Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.

The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination.
~ Ward Elliot Hour ~
I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries,
and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.
