 Last night a HORRIBLE storm came through, tornado's and everything. BUT today had the most beautiful clouds I have ever seen. I was so excited to get off of work and go get some shots at a friends farm. I rushed home to get my camera ( I only had about an hour and a half til sun down) and went to pick up my sister, by the time we got there the sun was setting and it was absolutely breath taking! Then, I realized I left my SD card at home in the computer!!!! I was so MAD!! I haven't had a chance to get any back ups to keep in my bag, I was soooo mad! So I decided to come home and take some pictures of Lucy ( I can never have enough right?) and couldn't choose so I went with all four of these.

Clockwise from the top left: Content, Fiesty, Bored and Bratty! ;)

I remember when you said you had an Aussie and you recongnized the breed of my pet Portrait. Yep those are expressions of Aussies. They are so loyal and expressive. I have two, Binki and Ozzie.

Binki is the one full of personality, but she is also very sassy. She gets mad and wont acknowledge me. Had to be a female. :P

Ozzie, is the crazy one. He is loyal, sweet and always happy. That dog does whatever I ask him to do. He never acts mad and he is funny. Unforunately he is also short one light from being a christmas tree.

Good shot.

LOL, she is a googly eyed dog, not all the time though!! (i'm not a huge fan of googly eyes a la the pug and chihhuahua, but what are you gonna do?!)

Very interesting shot, love the unique expressions and lighting you have here, The top right here is definitely my favorite, really great tones, nailed the focus and a very cool shot.
Great job with the editing as well, nicely done.

I think she was about to yawn or something, she was quite bored with being photographed and kept laying her head down and glancing over at our cat, that's why she looks so apologetic!

I love Lucy's snarl, it looks so real.

That really stinks that you didn't get the shots of the clouds. Great personality shots of your dog. Love the color of the photographs.

Doesn't that make you just want to spit! Or, you think your backup battery is charged, so you head out without checking and when you get an hour away from home and start your pictures...guessssss whaaat!

What an adorable set of images! I love her sneer in the upper right corner, and the impish look in the lower right corner. Great tones too!

Think I like the feisty lucy best. Maybe she is copying your mood after missing out on the sunset.

You did a good job of capturing the different faces of Lucy. I'm not sure if I like the tone, but the quad-tych (sp??) was a good choice.
