Some of my favorite shots of 2011 I thought I'd share.

Post your favorite.

Thanks for looking.

Nellie's 13th birthday last January. Number 14 is fast approaching.

Barkley. "Get that camera outta my face"

Barkley. "This is my good side"

This is not one of my favorites, but one of the last (cell phone) pictures of our late (and sweet) Giggles.
She was very special to us for many reasons.
She passed away a couple days after this shot.

Barkley enjoying the snow

He loves the snow

Caught it!

What are you waiting for? Throw it already!

Mud! Yippee.

Spring afternoon relaxing in the sun

Spring puppies

Barkley the Hot dog

I'm ready. Let's do this.

What exactly does 'stay out of the mud' mean again?

Biggest ham ever

July 4, 2011. Nellie.

I got a bath and smell much better now

Fall is in the air

Barkley

Nellie. Feel the warm sun

Nellie. Peaceful afternoon nap. No worries.

Is that the mailman?

All this Christmas stuff is hard work

This really is my good side isn't it?

Barkley is gorgeous, but his eyes are amazing, really nice camera work capturing all the colors on them. And I want to go take a nap with Nellie.

 

[Oaklys Dad]

Loved the pictures of you crew. Wonderful year it has been./

 

[Ocean's mom]

I absolutely love "what stay out of the mud means" shot - great composition, and such a great capture!

 

[tobysmommy]

Wonderful photos, absolutely gorgeous. One question: what lens and f stop did you use for the bokeh shot of Barkley in front of the Christmas tree? I love how the lights are blurred into (nearly perfect) circles.

 

[mrmooseman]

We've only had Moose for 7 months and some odd days.. but these are my favotire pictures so far..

Beautiful shots Joe! Couldn't pick a favorite, they're all great, but I sure do like Barkley sunning himself in the green grass as I sit here shivering today!

Thanks tobysmommy. That shot was taken with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4D at f1.4 using a D700. ISO 500 1/320.

Well, I'm not up to your photographic standards and only just got my lovely new "toy" from Santa, so these were all taken with my old camera, but ok. I'll play. :curtain:

The mud and snow pictures are real great shots. Love both of your dogs, Nellie looks like a very special lady to me, reminds me a bit of my old girl Faithie. Enjoy you dogs and love them as much as you can.

Wow Wally! Number's 1 and 18 are incredible. They're all great but those two really pop out!

I reorganized all my online storage recently and dumb me didn't even think it through and now every picture I have ever linked from it online will not show up. So I will submit all my pictures again and if a mod reads this please delete my previous post (will also shoot a MOD a PM).
