This is Duke. I don't know Duke. He and his owner were taking a walk thru the grove while I was taking photos on Saturday. Well, Duke was exploring while his owner walked. :) When he came over to say hi, his owner called him back (how I know his name) but he was a sweetie and just gave me a grin and then bounded off.

So this week is all about the photo ops I found on Saturday. I purposely did NOT buy flowers (hard!) so I would have to go out and explore. :)

Well...I was a big fan of "The Duke". I am glad you explored. I have the same trouble. It is just easier to take pictures of flowers or stuff right around home. I need to be more like you and Duke and get out and explore. Thanks for the nudge! :-) t2d4th · 2007-03-19: 23:54

Love the second shot, his red fur running through the green grass is so pretty. :) anniepie · 2007-03-20: 06:51

Awwhhhh, it looks like Duke is a bit gristled with age. Great series - I can see the action of him bounding through the grass towards you. The second shot is especially charming - the light and shadows dividing the frame into thirds, his expression, the greens and reds - wonderful. aggiechristine · 2007-03-20: 13:36

Second one is gorgeus! Loved the composition, the lighting and the contrasting colors! Way to go! Yanko · 2007-03-20: 15:07
