About Well . . . like the rest of the country we are experiencing plummeting temperatures . . . down to the 60s! Brrrrr! Our hardwood floors apparently aren't as comfortable as they once were to the Corgis. Darby's rear legs (ending in white paws) can be seen stretched out behind him . . . so these dogs are a tad bit short! Well . . . we did get a long little doggy (in the words of the old Country & Western song) . . . and he did take up a lot of loveseat!! . . . and if it looks like he has no intention of moving as long as I have a seat available on the floor . . . well then, I captured reality. Welcome to my Sepia-tinted Fish-eyed world! LoL! (And our view of it from the floor) :)

Converted from 16 bit to 8 bit depth and then Converted to Sepia for my friends who like Sepia!

Thanks Jani! Don't know how great an actor . . . since he only takes roles where he can 'feel' the motivation . . . LoL! For example . . . He plays lazy, hungry, playful and superior VERY well . . . Hehehehee!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Ina . . . I love the fisheye effect as well although the legs were short anyway . . . for all Corgis . . . this did accent it nicely . . . and the nose . . . Hehehee . . . well it IS pointed at me so your comment about him "wondering" is likely dead-on! BUT the head is still down . . . so he's not TOO curious! LoL! Thanks for you comment!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Doyle, I love this shot! If those eyes could talk, what a lovely expression! He seems to be wondering what you're doing. I like the fisheye effect (big nose, smaller legs) - and the sepia too.

Thanks Laura . . . and you're right . . . how can I move him? Besides, I had to (A.) Get the camera, (B.) Take the shot and (C.) put it away . . . by this time he feels like he's homesteaded the couch! LoL!

Hallo Doyle alles goed met u en de familie..?
(Gelukkig Nieuwjaar)
In Nederland is het traditie om oudejaarsavond met familie en vrienden te vieren, waarbij oliebollen en/of appelflappen worden gegeten. Gekeken wordt naar een oudejaar conference. Om twaalf uur toost men met champagne op het nieuwe jaar en wordt er zeer veel vuurwerk afgevuurd. Traditioneel voor veel zwemmers is de nieuwjaarduik aan de kusten van Nederland

See you around 2007 my friend,riny

Thanks Biljana . . . and you're right . . . his sad eyes seemed to allow him to stay up on the comfortable loveseat while I was sitting on the floor . . . without the heart to kick him off! Hehehehee . . . Wellllll . . . Christmas is OVER and I'll be getting my seat back now! LoL!

my brindle pit toddler,Riviera (Rivvie) is staring at Darby giving her a high five!...LOL...Riv has her blanket on one end of the couch,but second i leave my side without putting a box or bigger book there,she scoots on over instantly!

FYI: i just UPS'd my down coat and sleeping bag for you guys to borrow since we are back into the higher 30's which is balmy to us logger types up here where the elk whistle and the cup o'joe is thick like molasses...hehehe

like the toning,clarity and perspective...and of course Darby's chill kickback 'tude

*didn't forget about sending the contest coms and hope to get chance soon...yours had me giggling!

i posted a holiday image if get the chance to stop by......cool yule to you n' yours!

Hi Doyle! My list of Friends is very short (for various reasons), but I've decided that as my Christmas present to you I will put your name on it. Don't get too excited though, as I believe this gives me the right to slag you off and take the piss remorselessly. Darby and I have had a word and we believe that we have a great future together, since we both love (OK OK, that's quite enough of that...)

With best wishes for Christmas,
AJ

LoL! Ok Alain . . . I have no illusions about who is the dog . . . :) It took me little or no time to figure out who sits where . . . but I have the secret weapon. A dog toy . . . one swift toss and the seat is open . . . and he falls for it EVERY time!

Uhhhhhh . . . unless it's his secret way to get me playing with him and I fall for it every time! Perhaps it would be better if I never found out, huh? LoL!

Shirley:

ok . . . I'm not saying others don't have cold yucky weather . . . but come on now! I'm seriously considering packing my shorts and wearing long pants! AND . . . it's been almost a week! Oh! Oh the AGONY! Hehehehee.

On the more serious side . . . we've been hit with REAL cold now. Big Bear was 10 degrees this morning and here at the beach it was 40. Looks like my playful teasing has resulted in just a little bit of karmic payback. :)

Best Regards for the Holiday Season,

Awwww, puppy dog eyes...I'd think Darby would be wearing a happier face since you are the one on the (oh, brrrr) cold floor! LOVE the fisheye, LOVE the angle...add the sepia and I'm hooked...but you already knew that, dincha?

Take care...Robin

Jan Hoffman Jan Hoffman   {K:39467} 12/19/2006
Love this photo!!!!!
Corgis are natural clowns and then add this great capture with Darby's forlorn puss: bingo - funny photo. The monitor I am using at the moment isn't giving me a sepia view (it may be ready to blow). Looks more like old selenium tint (colder than sepia). Still; looks good, though.
--Best to you, Jan
