Western Basset Hound

I shot a party at a private residence over the weekend. It was a western theme and the client has two basset hounds that were roaming the yard wearing bandannas. I couldn't resist the opportunity to get some shots of the dogs whenever possible. Here is one of them. His name is Charlie and he was very friendly. I have another shot of him on his side, begging for a belly rub. Charlie was less camera shy than Otis, the other dog. I did get a couple good of shots of him, as well as the two together, but this is my favorite.

Dog Days of Summer

I did some volunteer work for SafeHaven Humane Society over the weekend. They had their annual "Dog Days of Summer" event downtown in front of the courthouse. There was a fairly large turnout. One activity is the 5k walk. Before it kicked off, everyone who wanted to participate posed on the steps of the courthouse with their dogs for one big group picture. I took a tighter shot with a longer lens, but I wasn't able to capture the very edges of the group or much of the surroundings. I switched to the wide angle and snapped a few shots.
