This weeks theme from Tara is a photo you are proud of … Well, I couldn’t just chose 1 !!!
So, here are a couple.
Taken on the Doggie Beach in Newport, CA. We walked this beach pretty much every day, for some peace, amazing sunsets, and for my daily dose of seeing the dogs play !
One of my all time favorites, these two scoundrels were in Canada, we watched them for hours and I was lucky enough to get a couple of shots !
and this was just in the front garden !
and, finally, I am very proud of this one.. I took this with a very small PHD (push here dummy) camera waaaaay before I got hooked on photography and spent a small fortune on gear !

Ah and proud you should be, they’re all awesome. Mind you the subject matter certainly helps. I think the Raccoons take the cake.

They were sooo cool, a whole family of them …. but, because of the situation, the Elephants are my favourites… just because it was fortunate, nothing I had planned etc ..

I love that dog one. I bet the people at ‘Smartwater’ love it too 🙂
Laughed at ‘PHD’ camera – that’s what I need 🙂 x

Omg love these!! The one of the dogs on the beach is a fantastic capture, I’d definitely be proud of that.
As for the PHD pic (lol, by the way), for someone who says they’ve not been doing it long, that is STUNNING. Well done 😀

We got some great shots from the Doggie Beach .. just a great place, and I love dogs !.. as for the Elephants, got lucky to be honest, would love to go back with the cameras we have now !

I love finding new blogs via The Gallery! Love all the pics, but I may have gasped a little at the elephant one. Just goes to show that you don’t always need the fancy gear to get a great shot. Good luck with the imminent arrival too.

Hi Cara.. thank you, I just got lucky with the Elephants. I had three days in Kenya, and this was probably the only decent photo !!! Welcome, and I hope you will come back… there will be photos of the little one I guess !

We do have the Elephant on on the wall, with two others… Once we move into our new house, we intend to frame many more for the empty walls
