Dachshund Winterfest 2015

The Dachshund Winterfest is one of my favorite things to do every January. WeeGee loves to go see his Dachshund buddies since I normally make him hang out with the cocker crew. Here are a few photos from our day.

Wakodahatchee Wetlands – March 19, 2014

Last week I attended a photo workshop lead by Karen Milstein, of Wings & Things Photography, at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Fla. Getting up and being there at 7am was not a lot of fun, but it was soooo worth it. Wakodahatchee is amazing no matter when you go but it was magical in the early morning. I picked up quite a few new tips from Karen. I’d highly recommend going to next year’s workshops.

 

I’m very sad to report that the Great Egret hatchlings are now missing from their nest. :( Hopefully there will be more hatching soon.
