Wondering Wednesday






So how many takes does it take to take a good take?




#1 - oops, no squinty eyes, Phantom.




#2 - what camera, where is it?

And Thunder, put your tongue inside your mouth.



#3 - TD, you are not listening.
And Ciara, don't be a copycat, or is that copywoo?

After so many comments about this tongue shot from Thunder and Ciara, we are going to enter this in Anna's Spectacular Tongue-tacular Contest.



#4 - are we done yet?



# 87,463,528,576 - best we can do for you today, Momster.



Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

    I really wish I could play with Photo Shop and just cut and paste. It takes me forever to get a good shot (still hasn't happened!) but I am better with the digital than I ever was with a film camera, so......

    And remember, I am only working with two of them. However, they ARE terriers, so I should get some grace points, huh?

    I was thinking: "How many dogs does it take to take a good picture?" and my answer would be YOUR THREE!!!

    Is that really Phantom yawning or did you doctor up the photo? It doesn't look quite real...

    Can you do container gardening for the Seed Exchange? Maybe if you put them in a hanging pot, your three rascals can't get to them?

    Have a great day!

    Isn't that how it always goes?? Or how about when they are in the perfect pose but by the time you grab the camera they have moved? I can't tell you how many shots I missed not thinking I have enough time to get camera, then as soon as I move, they are out of there!!

    Great shots by the way. Love the tongue and Phantom yawning.
