SHOOT - OUT: DOMESTICATED

Thanks you, Sandy, for this very refreshing assignment.
I enjoyed my photographic stroll through the countryside
****
In my house Scruffy is, constantly,
trying to domesticate all of his friends.

A tailgate companion like
this is every man's dream.

Callie, my sister-in-law's spoiled baby.

Some dogs have devil eyes!!

Stitch, my son's 180 lb. horse, with my buddy.

Tanner, the best wonder dog, ever.

Ghost Riders in the Sky.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
Unless it's the famous, Mr. Ed!
(You're OLD if you know who Mr. Ed was!)

I'll never see a useless rat,
More worthless than this lazy cat.
A cat who lies around all day,
And then, at night, demands to play.

Two hens in a pen.

Double decker pigs.

Angus, down by the pond.

Reflection, rippled square.

Fat mama and curious baby.

I see T-Bone!

How, now, brown cow?

I choose to avoid trauma from a Brahma.
Thanks for visiting.

  1. I just love Scruffy. Glad you included him.

    That last cow pic is great. You weren't waving a red cape, were you?

    Tanner looks likes a special dog and that cat looks like he is spoiled.

    Stitch is cool. And Scruffy is so brave.

    Great photos, Gordon. Wish we had some cows around these parts. Or sheep. Or pigs. All we got is crabs and oysters.

  2. Very cool pictures. I went out this evening in search of cows but alas, none could be found, however, I do have one or two that I snapped earlier in the week.

    I love your lazy cat. He is so cute and fat. Of course, scruffy is always a welcome sight. Very nice.

    I also like your little poem about your lazy cat.

  12. Gordon, you've found lots of great shots but I really think I'm loving Stitch, just because...he's my kind of dog for sure. This was fun :)

  13. The nicest thing about a coconut
    Is that it sits right there on its b_ _ _ _
    Take your time to focus right
    It'll smile for you all day and night!

    (Obviously my animal subjects were rather wiggly!)

  14. That white dog is BEAUTIFUL! And the lazy cat...too funny!

    Scruffy is so helpful and thoughtful. :)

  15. I haven't seen a Brahma for so long, that shot took me back. Or maybe Mr Ed had already done that. I still love the Brahma with his humps and droopy ears, despite the fact a Brahma is the only cow that ever frightened me. Yours look friendly enough, though. Lovely, fun shoot out. Thanks !

    That last shot of those cows are very strange!!

  17. "A horse is a horse, of course, of course..... " Mr. Ed? Delightful! Scruffy
    is multitalented and I wish I could teach my dog to walk around the house carrying tools and utensils. Your pups are adorable. I enjoyed visiting, thank you, Gordon!

  21. What fun! A photo of Scruffy riding on the back of one of Brahamas would have been cute, maybe even worth the trauma...
