so I took your advice, and set my ISO settings on the digital camera to 100 or 200, trying to get a better picture of my black lab. Lo and behold, I think I got one of the best pictures ever of her! Thanks for the tip!

There's no link.

try it now... I was having issues.

Don't worry about it, I have those same issues too.

EDIT: OMG, your dog is beautiful. I'd spit on her if I were there but I'll do it from here...

Ptoosoo Ptoosoo Ptoosoo.

here's the same picture in color... I can't decide which one I like better.

awesome--that is such a great pic!

b&w is definitely the way to go. really nice picture!

Oh, yeah, spitting is good in Greek culture, isn't it?
I'm sure Loon would be a bit mortified though, as she is one of the freakiest dogs ever. I blame it all on an unfortunate dry cleaner bag incident, where one blew over a fence and onto her while she was doing her "business."

She is also quite a diva, and must be loved on her terms only.

i don't want to hijack your thread or anything...but, can we use this to post new pics of our doggies? yeah? ok...here's our baby molly, and poor seamus in the background wondering why we don't pay him attention anymore....

It depends. People have been known to get into fights after getting hit in the face with some unsual things, like dentures and toothpicks.

ok, and one more of the little princess all by herself. last one...promise....



we've determined she definitely does not have any newfie in her...and our vet thinks she could be a flat-coated retriever.

ha ha, I don't mind hijacking at all! Seamus does look rather sad in the background, doesn't he?

Here's a couple more of my babies taken recently... also my avatar is a new one of my boy Bean. btw, Loon (the lab) is 9, and Bean (the collie mix) is 11.

btw: Molly is bee-yoo-ti-full!

She's beautiful man. I miss my doggie.

do you think you'll get another dog soon?

I probably will wait til I graduate until I adopt another dog, but I know he or she will be a rotty. Female rotties make the best pets.

I always wanted a rottie. They're such beautiful dogs...

Here's a crop photo of my Effie. She looks exactly like this bird only with a little more red on her.

nice.
i know little about birds--what kind is she? does she talk?

She's a 6 month old Yellow Fronted Amazon Parrot and she doesn't shut up. She says things like, "hello", "what do you want", "buh bye", "are you a good girl", "malaka", among other things.

Beautiful bird, Chris.
