Day 718 Feathers

I've been wanting to photograph Disney's feathers for a long time now.

Day 717 Beau and Charlie

Beau and Charlie, my moms former dogs, are now mine. They get pretty dirty hanging out in the back yard with our two big dogs, but today they had a bath.

Day 716 Sunrise on Crows Landing Road

I can't count the times I have driven past this tiny shack and lonely Palm, and each time wanting a decent picture of it. Finally the sunrise helped me out and gave me a picture.

Day 715 Disney

Such a cutie.

Day 712 Disney

Day 711 post 2 Disney Sleeps

I figured that if I was going to post pictures that I didn't take today, I had better post one that I did take.  So here he is in all his sleeping slumber.

Day 711 The Archives

I was looking around the archived images for a picture I took of Disney that is not on this blog. I still haven't found what I am looking for, but I came across these two pictures. The top picture is of the German Shepherd I fostered such a long time ago. Her temporary name was Whisper. I forget what her new owners changed her name to. The bottom is a picture of Disney, of course. I don't know why I didn't like it at the time, but now I am thinking it is cute.

Day 710 Disney Gets Cute

I've been taking a lot of pictures of Disney lately. I think my lighting is improving. I am not sure why I have not been posting them, except to say I've been putting them on Facebook. I am not going to do that anymore. I like posting to this blog. It's like my very own secret place that's public. lol.

Day 709 Disney Shakes it Off

Day 708 Disney gets a new background

Poor Disney is molting. It probably feels good to rub his face, and he does it with a smile.

Day 707 Disney

Day 706 Disney gets wet

I left my lights out so I could photograph Disney in hopes he would take a bath. Thank you Disney.

Day 705 Disney

Day 704 Disney lands

I actually took this picture yesterday. It takes so long to post a picture here now-a-days.

Day 703 Charcoal

Day 702 post 3 Green

My husband and I took a short walk through the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens this morning with some of his friends who were visiting from Colorado. The green was beautiful.

Day 702 post 2 Lizard on a Rock

I have always wanted to photograph a lizard. They run so quickly I never thought I'd be able to, but this little guy seemed as curious about me as I was about him.

Day 702 Flying Bee

I have always wanted to photograph a bee by a flower. If it's a pink flower, all the better.

Day 701 Smoky in the Green

Day 700 Smoky in the evening light

As anyone who has ever looked at this site knows, this really isn't Day 700 in a row. Just that I started out with a premise of a photograph a day and kept using the same organizational titles even when I fell short of my goal. But for what it is worth, this is the 700th picture posted.
Smoky had a surgery today. He had a large bloody growth on the side of his neck, hip hip hooray it is gone but now comes two weeks of after care. He was drooply hanging around our hot house so we went out front for a little breeze and some fresh air.

Day 699 Fred and Smoky

It was brutally hot when I got home from work today, so I put the sprinkler on for the dogs. Fred even at 14 years old will get up and in the middle of it all.  Smoky will brave the water only as necessary to get the ball.

6/7/2013 Fred was humanely euthanized a few weeks ago. This was his last foray into the water, his favorite thing.

Day 698 post 3 Appaloosa

Took this picture while driving to work today.

Day 698 post 2 Donkey

I photographed this donkey pretty early on in this blog. I have tried to get it help because of his feet. They are way to long. It is animal neglect. But I failed as I didn't call animal control. I have little faith in them considering my experience with the starving horse, also on this blog. I called animal control and the officer told me it had rained and the horse could eat when the grass grew. Fortunately that horse did get help and will live out his life at an equine rescue. This donkey has not had such luck. I have contacted a rescue both equine and donkey and no help. Here it is three years or so later and he is still there with these terrible feet. Hopefully this time he can get some help.

Day 698 Old Buildings on Jennings Road

I have driven by these old buildings so many times I can't count. There are other pictures of them on my blog somewhere in the past. Here they are today. I couldn't decide between either of these pictures, I suppose one isn't necessarily better than the other.

Day 697 Carpenter Road Modesto

Both of these images were taken while on my way home.
