Zephyr

I have been swamped with work, school, and family obligations due to the holiday season, so I haven't posted much. I have been home sick from work the past couple days, and I finally got a chance to take a couple pictures of the crew while the sun was still out. I don't have many, but I just wanted to share.

(I know, it doesn't look very wintery here in Texas. It was roughly 70 degrees today. Don't kill me!)

I kept getting nose pokied by this little brat while I was trying to study for an upcoming final exam. She really wanted to play.


So we went outside, and Teddy decided to play keep away with Libbers' favorite ball. How rude.


I stole the ball and made Teddy pose--such a happy boy!


Liberty is not so patient. She growled and huffed and puffed at me until I returned her precious baby.


I then made all three pose for a group photo since I don't have any good ones of the trio. This is one of the least awful outtakes.


This is the best I could get. They're a pretty crazy bunch. The concept of self control is pretty much grasped Nietzsche and Nietzsche alone.


Then I made them come back inside because they were getting a bit too worked up over the construction workers building a house across the street. I snapped this right after I caught them all birdwatching.


Teddy then decided it was time to have a stand off with Liberty. This is what that looks like about .5 seconds before she tackles him and reminds him of his place in this house--anywhere below her, as all living beings should be. The Queen Bee does not mess around.


As you can see, Nietzsche knows better by now and only plays on her terms. Otherwise, he keeps out of the way or snuggles with his mama.

That's all folks!

I can't wait (the next 8 or so years ) to get (hopefully) a tiburon dobe! Every single one is so dang beautiful!

Her eyes in that first pic are wonderful. All of the photos are amazing.

And my gosh, your trio is full of some of the most gorgeous dobes I've ever had the pleasure to see.

Such fab photos!
What camera are you using to take them?
Beautiful dogs!

I think Teddy weighs more than Nietzsche now, but he's not at tall yet. The photos seem a bit deceiving in that regard. He has so much more substance than Nietzsche though.

Thanks for the wonderful compliments! Her eyes are very marble-y in person. I just love them!

Thank you! I took them all with my Nikon D7000 and 35mm f1.8 prime that I leave on my camera most of the time. If I had a 70-200 f2.8, that'd be my go to lens, but currently the one I'm using is the best I have for indoor pictures.

Teddy's single pose is tickling, I smiled with him on that one. Beautiful family you have. Thanks for sharing!

Your whole crew are absolutely beautiful! I love the group shots especially, they all look so happy and healthy Wish I could get good group shots like that!

Also, love your dining room decor!

I have changed my major so many times it's frightening, but I'm finishing my BS (with about 80 credits to spare) and then I'm applying for a DNP-Anesthesia program at TCU.

I shoot in raw and use Adobe Photoshop to adjust colors, contrast, exposure, hue, saturation, and all that jazz after the fact.

Thank you! I really like how it has turned out, too. We're still searching for the perfect artwork to put on the bare walls, but I don't want to settle for something I don't really like.

Nietzsche's life was changed when I brought Libby home. He had no clue what he had coming. Teddy, poor guy, he's had to put up with her from day one in this house! They're all getting along so well right now though. I just pray nothing changes drastically as he matures.

I did see your Christmas wishlist, and I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think that Christmas miracle is coming true this year. He would certainly be missed! I have been really ill this week, and he has been the best snuggle buddy EVER!

Oh, he's still there, I assure you. His brain is 110% puppy with a splash of goober thrown in.

#1 is absolutely stunning! The detail in that eyeball is unbelievable! I love #7, although I wish Liberty was moved over a pinch to capture Nietzsche's left side of the face. Your photo's are persuading me to sell my D3100 and snag a D7000! My wallet hurts already....
