Pictures anyone?

Geez, that looks like my South African friend's boxer with that coloration. It's a bit early for bees yet up here but the peepers in the lake are extremely loud in their romantic endeavours.:-D

 

i dont even have a camera. but is that a huge bee or is it just big in the picture?

 

But of course my dear, I was just surprised that they looked very similar. I'm used to seeing a tan or brown boxer, not this variegated colouration, but then I'm not a freak on breeds, all my dogs were mutts. Oh BTW, his name is Bozee, also you'll see on the pic name that is nick is poop.:-D

Maybe not, but it's perfectly accurate for the first year, a veritable poop machine!:-D Thanks for the term.

 

Nice pictures Laura, Oscar is cute, and yes re carpenter bees they're out in swarms at work due to a wood trellis that covers the side of one building, we breed them

 

Nice pics., Laura and Augie. My, Oscar sure has grown up, hasn't he?

 

Beautiful brindle boxer Laura!! I have only had fawn boxers....they certainly are great dogs!! I miss mine

 

I've posted this before but it's a spring time ritual here, 'Boss, the Ducks , the Ducks!' :-D

They are protective but not mean......I guess some people associate them with pit bulls....

 

You have a good 'eye' Laura, very nice indeed. :cloud9

 

In my experience, dogs only act the way they are brought up. If a dog is trained or treated mean, it will turn out mean. We had a Staffordshire bull terrier for 15 years. Everyone was wary of him, but he was the biggest soft sook who would bark for 30 seconds then lick you for three days.

Gorgeous photos BTW, Laura (and Rikky). I never even considered getting a camera before now, but you've inspired me. Things look positive at work. Hoping to be back to five days and overtime next month, then I'm off shopping for cameras, wine and cheese.:hyper

 

Its my brothers dog,its her first time in snow she went mental:-D

 

Well --- that explains alot! :-D

Sorry, --- had to!

 

Oscar still has the same face as when he was a puppy.
Think I told the story before about delivering flowers after I closed up shop to a home that had the tallest fence I've seen. Had a couple or few boxers they jumped so high I could see them. Straight up to like 7 feet, unbelievable.

 

Did someone pic's:hyper
The first 3 are of my puppy who was a "Hand Me Down" of sorts. My sons' friend found him wandering around a tow truck yard he worked at playing with the chicks and rabbits they had in the back part. He(MSF)moved and got married and left "Arnold" ("MR" for short)with my son ,WHO, became an OT driver and here he is mom, please take care of him 'til I get home.
Needless to say that didn't happen for a while and I still have him. Wouldn't give him back anyway.
he can't hear well at all so he uses his sniffer & eyes there a lot
Breedit-Boxer-Mastiff.
He likes to be in the center of everything and generally is: Hates;Flies,Loves(in a hunting way)anything that thinks it can out run him,which so far isn't anything around the house that he has encountered, yet.(except squirrels-they're on the other side of the fence."NOT" that he hasn't made an attempt to go over.:-D
Most Dangerous thing about him......His Tail! Ask my other half , he said one more time and he was getting a baseball cup for himself. Just don't get behind him when he is really in a good mood..OUCH!:-D

The last is my youngest granddaughter and one of their many cats. They both are at their best behavior in this shot.:-D

I have so many pics that my puter is puckering out. I"ll have to get a portable hard drive just for my pics:-o:-D

 

Nice pictures folks!

 

Thanks. When I seen your Oscar I couldn't believe it as the brindle and the white chest are the same as Arnold. Only Arnold has the pit shaped head mastiff nose and head size (BIG) and the bull chest and the hyper playfullness. I had to show my other half the pic of Oscar. He couldn't get over how good looking Oscar is.
I also like your sunrise picture. I love sunrise and sunset pics. I just like taking pics myself, but the best part is viewing them after you've taking them and enjoying them once the sun has come and gone.

 

A picture I took a few years back

Quite possibly the best picture I've taken, ever. It was shot with an old junky 1.3 meg digital! I was really surprised how it came out. Grainy, but made our cat, Ginger, look majestic.

What a gorgeous looking pussycat, PapaD. Is he/she living in a bag?

 

Yup --- took up residence in a bag. She loves cheap toys!:-D

 

Best friends

Bill those are beautiful, any hair problems?

 

Are those yours, Bill? That is one helluva pic. This is a great thread with some excellent images. I want a digicam :crybaby

 

No they are not mine they belong to a friend (we have cats) but the photo was taken with a Nikon 35mm Reflex.

I scanned it into the PC.

 

Very nice Laura, I need a new camera and a photo app, and eye for it :-D
Give it up Darlene, HUH?

 

my friend snapped this at school one day with my camera (which usually turns out shaky or blurry photos) and it turned out perfect. too bad i lost my larger copy when my puter crashed...i back up my files now.

There are some fantastic photos in this thread! I REALLY love that close-up of the carpenter bee. Amazing!

Thought I'd share a couple from my area:

At the beach about 25 minutes away.


More beach: (We have sandy beaches, too, but lots of "dramatic" cliffs. )


At a park nearby:


Also at the park. They were not at all afraid of me. Very cool.
