The Contenders

I got home from work yesterday, knowing that my 2012 Calendar had arrived.  One 22.5 lb box filled with Holiday gifts and memories.  Now to get the addresses and the money to mail all these out to my East Coast friends.  Fortunately, I mail them in bulk to one individual in each area.  Mom, Dwayne and Kate will play Santa for me.

I am not showing the calendar yet.  What I will show are some of the pictures that did not make the cut.  For whatever reason, bad exposure, blurry, not of interest, they were mot chosen.  They were all contenders though.  The title of this year's calendar is "TravelingDogs" and showcases Luther & BuddyJack traveling with us across America and at home.  I usually start whittling down in October and make the final selection in November.  I hope you enjoy them.  Look forward to the seeing the top 13 for 2012 soon!

  1. So many great ones! I love the dog park in Las Vegas with the contrast of the dark sky, the traveling dogs, the sierra one, Buddy at home and the art shot at the merrymaker. Of course the lake in Quebec is very inviting. No need to be a dog to enjoy that!
