SS United States

SS United States

SS United States – you may have heard about this old ship that was towed to Mobile Alabama. We were fortunate enough to be in an area where we got to see this historic old ship.

It says that it is bigger than the Titanic, and was quite the ship back in the day. But it is going to be sunk over by Destin Florida somewhere for a reef. It has to be cleaned first. They will be doing the cleaning in Mobile Al for about 6 to 9 months.

While I was taking these photos, a gentleman came up to us and said they flew here from Ireland just to see this ship.

Peaceful Scenes

Peaceful Scenes

Peaceful Scenes – The peaceful calm of a morning, with the soft light gently kissing the horizon, brings a sense of stillness and reflection. As the water mirrors the landscape, it invites us to pause, breathe, and appreciate the beauty of simplicity.

Peaceful Scenes

This quiet moment serves as a reminder that each new day holds endless possibilities. Embrace it with gratitude and an open heart, for today is a fresh opportunity to grow, create, and find joy in every step you take.

German Shepard

German Shepard

German Shepard – It is about his eyes. This dog is in the camp spot next to us. He is only one years old. Beautiful dog and very friendly, but he has a bark that will make you think twice about going up to him.

Busy With Dog Portraits

Busy With Dog Portraits

Busy With Dog Portraits, I have been so busy with doing puppy portraits and people portraits this winter. I just wanted to say thank you for all of you that stop by this blog page to look at my photos. I truly appreciate it, along with the comments that you leave.

I hope my photos bring a smile to your faces and maybe gives you a warm feeling to start your days.

I have not had time to read all of your blogs, but on occasion I do get to open up some of them to look at your photos and read your stories.

Thank you again.

I am learning a lot about using flash with my photography now. That is a new genre I have not worked with much. I really like it though. What a difference it can make with portraits.

Blue Angels

Blue Angels

Blue Angels – if you are ever at Panama beach, more than likely you will get to see the blue angels practicing from most places along the coast line.

This was actually their last day of practice when we got there. They did not fly down by where we were at. I just happened to look to the east and saw them flying by this building. They were pretty far away.

Blue Angels

You can see the coast guard helicopter practicing most days as well when you are by the gulf coast.

Beach Fishing

Beach Fishing

Beach Fishing – this is just a random guy fishing on the beach. He ran over to his fishing pole when I quick got my camera out to see what he might have caught.

Beach Fishing

It looks like a pompano fish, even folks walking by had to stop and take a photo.

Fly Over

Fly Over

Fly Over by a Blue Heron, I finally got the shot. I have always wanted to get a shot of a heron flying directly above me, but normally they keep their distance from people.

Truly an amazing wingspan.

Fly Over

I have gotten the white pelican fly over. So I have two on my list. 🙂

Nesting Herons

Nesting Herons

Nesting Herons – We have found a location where a few Blue Herons are in the process of building nest. It is such a treat to get to see these beautiful birds so close. They swoop down right by me as they are looking for sticks to pick up and take to the tops of the trees as they build their nest.

Fun to watch, one takes the stick up to their mate, hands it to the one in the nest as he or she places where it needs to go.

Campground Cat

Campground Cat

Campground Cat – This cat has grown up here at this particular campground that we are at. People take care of it all year. She lives outdoors and the campground has boxes made for the cats to sleep in and get out of the bad weather.

All the cats here have been fixed and they get flee and tick medicine. They also catch rats and snakes. This cat caught a huge rat and left it by our camper. Good Kitty. 🙂

Patience

Patience

Patience – Herons are known for their incredible patience when hunting for fish. While standing on the dock, I watched one intently, camera in hand, waiting for the perfect moment to capture its strike.

I missed several shots before finally catching this one — a moment that felt almost like looking into a mirror during the editing process.

Dog Agility Event February

Dog Agility Event February

Dog Agility Event February – I have completed my editing for the 2nd dog agility event that we photographed. The folks will have plenty of photos to look through. I had to take a crash course on using Lightroom batch editing, that really helped.

I had used it years ago and never really looked into it again until this month. Now I have time to do some other things again. I look ahead to photographing next years event as well.

New Campground

New Campground

New Campground, well not new but being remodeled since the last hurricane. We had a great time here, I do recommend this park. They were under construction when we were there.

They are doing a great job at rebuilding the area and keeping the natural habitats available as well as building new construction.

New Campground

Lots of beaches to walk, new campground spots with full hookups.

New sidewalks, roads and utility buildings.

New Campground

But also keeping a lot of the natural landscapes for wildlife and trails for people to walk on.

Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach – We stayed at St Andrews State Park right down the beach from Panama City. There is a nice long pier that we stood on to take the photo of the beach. Most all of those buildings on the beach are rentals, condos and a couple of hotels.

We were there during the off season, so it was pretty quiet.

She is 18 This Year

She is 18 This Year

She is 18 This Year – I can’t hardly believe this little dog of our is this old. She is still going strong as well.

She eats a lot, sleeps alot, but still loves going for walks and is doing great.

Besides just losing most of her teeth, I feed her soft food. She can not see so well anymore. But we guide her every where with her lead rope when outside. Her world must be a big blur right now. But we always talk to her and hold her, which she loves being held.

I will enjoy every minute I have with her for as long as she is here.

Remember, her name is d-o-g. The letters not the word. 🙂

Or Deohgee if that helps.
