These kids look so dapper!

Xmas Good Dog: He Forgave Them Eventually

 "How could they do this to me?" those resigned eyes say!!

The Center of Attention - A Xmas Dog

These nine photos document love.

Check out those Xmas ornaments!  I inherited some like that...clear tinted glass with painted stripes or stenciled scenes.  I am not especially into knowing 20th c. fabrics and such, but this house seems like it is much more 1940s than 1965, doesn't it?

These photos are the same house and dog...

New England dogs have to put up with ice between their toes in the winter while their southern brethren take it easy in the sun.

One More Look at Summer

A great time for dogs and babies. 



There is nothing nicer than a warm summer day on the edge of the vegetable garden.


Makes me forget the cold draft coming off the window next to my chair!

An Iowa Girl and Her Dog

Formal photos of some children with their pets are so...
...odd.

Stiff clothing over normally squiggly bodies and goofy expressions must have melted a mother's heart though. Luckily the pets usually fare much better.

I photograph kids with their work in school often.  Some children have a photo face just like this! A normal, vivacious child will suddenly appear stricken with some disfiguring paralysis of the face.
