Well, nobody said that my 50 mono portraits at 50mm had to be humans.
This is Ruby, our rescue Dog.
Rescued from the Dogs Trust in Evesham in March 2011, when I was 2 months into my 365 !
For those of you who don't know her from my photostream (she appears quite often), she is a whippet, everyone's bessie mate.
Whippets are very gentle, good with children , run fast and make great family friends.
Shot in our garden with a wide open aperture, she has lovely eyes, her nose is a bit soft in the picture (and in real life too)
Our previous dog, was a black and white whippet too, but she was a bit aloof, rather selective as to who she considered to be her friend, whereas Ruby, well she wants to be you friend from the moment she first meets you
I've chopped a bit of her ear off while trying to get close with my 50mm, but her 'basil brush; ears are part of her charm !
@eyesmile ha ha gena, the ears pricked up look can be guaranteed with a little bit of taking to her
@swilde hans sue, glad you like
@happypat a little grey PAt yes, Ruby gets at least 3 walks a day, but she is happy lounging around on the sofa too :)
@espyetta thanks MB, she is our sweetheart
