You just made the week a whole lot better 🙂 Thank you so much, Cee! And it was my very first successful attempt at using spot color!

That horse is fun! and the face of your dog is very personable (if that ‘s the right word).

Australian Shepherds like Bishop are the ultimate friendly family dogs. They are really American (not Australian) dogs through and through. Originally bred to herd sheep and cattle in places like Montana where it’s really cold and snowy in the winter. Bishop’s coat is super thick. He LIKES blizzards and as for weather, the colder, the better. He’s getting a bit old, now, but he’s still a very sweet, loving boy.

Now this is an epic one !

I don’t know about epic, but I actually got Bishops tongue to be a different color. I might even be able to repeat it. I think I figured it out. Maybe.

Thanks. I think the horse deserves “the Lion’s share” of the credit!

Bishop is pretty happy. He’s getting kind of deaf and more than a little arthritic, but so far, so good. He’s still enjoying life and that’s what matters.

Give him a hug for me.

The last picture made me laugh out loud…Kizzie and Lucy both like to scratch their backs like that in the dirt (or especially in a pile of smelly and wet leaves). 🙂

Great photos. I love your use of the spot colour for the tongue.

It’s the first time I’ve successfully done it. I’ve wanted to, but couldn’t figure out how. I think I’ve got it, but I’ll have to try some more and see how it goes.

You photos are simply fun this week. Thanks Marilyn. Excellent photography.

Thanks! I’ve been waiting YEARS for some way to use that horse picture 🙂 At last!

I need to take a photo of a horse’s ass. Oh wait …. I think I might have already done that during some of our larger family get-togethers.
(Sorry, Marilyn, I just couldn’t resist – hope I made you chuckle!)

That was one huge mare, too. Percheron horses, which a lot of people breed locally. are the size of trucks. Big trucks. Friendly and very pretty, but huge, so when she decided to roll, the was a sand storm in motion 🙂

He is, kind of, in a rather doggy way 🙂

Being in the right place at the right time – good photos.

I hung out by the corral for probably an hour, waiting for them to do something interesting. They’re just around the corner anyway and it was a nice day. The horses are very friendly, but the fence is electric, so you have to be careful if you pet them not to get zapped.

There’s that great photo of darling dog again.

And my first time using spot color. YAY 😁

Okay, teacher. What is spot color? Is it a function of the camera or editing?
LikeLike
Definitely editing. It’s like in book design when you use one color in an illustration to make something “pop.” Advertising uses it a LOT. The whole thing will be in black & white except the product, which will be in color. Think beer ads. Doing it in a photograph is all processing. I’ve said before I’m not all that skilled with Photoshop and I’ve never gotten this to work. There ARE other ways to do it, but I don’t know how to use them. Yet.

I think there was a famous shot in a movie about the holocaust where the entire scene was in black and white except for one little girl in a red coat.

It’s a very popular technique in film. It’s not hard, exactly, but I never figured out how to get it to look the way I want it to look. My bad, I suppose. Too lazy to properly learn my tools.

Me too. I’d rather talk to Marilyn–or try to figure out what flower I’ve just snapped, or make a smoothie, which I aim to do right now.. with the papaya I just picked from my tree. Ahhhh life.
