John G Lancaster Dog Park October 20, 2018

Sif

I had lunch in Lancaster Park in Lexington Park, so I stopped in at the Dog Park to practice my pet photography.  I met Sif, a Siberian husky and Oliver, an Australian shepherd.  The dogs were having lots of fun, chasing each other and splashing in the water.

 Sif has a blue eye and a brown eye.


  They were having fun putting their paws in the water and splashing.

Blessing of the Pets October 7, 2018

 Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Mary's City, MD had a blessing of the Pets on Sunday.  It is usually an annual event and the pastor, John Ball, is very gentle with the animals.  Here are my favorite pet only photos.

Bald Eagle Confrontation Photos from September 8, 2018

Two bald eagles were making a lot of fuss.  While I watched, an osprey swooped down to complain that the eagles were sitting on HIS nest.  It wasn't the best view of the osprey, but at least I got them all in one photo!  The osprey tend to leave for the south in early September, but even though they weren't hanging around the nest, they still objected to visiting eagles.  They are gone now, so the eagles visit without comment.
