I’m under the weather today and spent the whole day in bed. I’m lucky my mother and brother dropped by so I got hot food and Donna still got her daily walk and loo breaks! Mr P is in Tokyo, lucky him!
My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) – week 13
An unexpected moment when Donna decided that she would perform her wave, repeatedly, to con Mr P of his burger. I didn’t know how long she was going to keep at the begging dog act, so I had to take the picture from where I was sitting. I was glad that I could capture her expression, actions and also the food she was interested in. Mr P’s arm in the foreground is kind of distracting but this is the best shot out of the few I snapped. I had to put that line of text to balance the picture, without it, there’s just too much empty space.
Why is it that the dog always thinks that we should give up our food to her. Humans get hungry too, you know.
Some people take pictures with planning and care. They check the edges of their frame, their composition, the light, etc and try to take the picture in such a way that there will be minimal needs for editing it too much later on.
But when one is dealing with living things, particularly small ones with only a camera phone in hand, one just tries to take sharp pictures as much as possible.
These little dudes were constantly wriggling away so much that it was impossible for them to be sharp if one went too near. This meant that my camera phone had to be further away from them.
To get this photo:
I had to crop it from this shot:

Above| Chained together, these dividers become the layers that make up a discontinuous surface for the pigeons to perch on.
Below| Trying for something more abstract. I am pretending the spikes are citadels on an alien landscape. Must have been watching too many alien movies lately. :P
No love lost between this two!
Newsflash: A re-homed local mongrel dog has been caught on camera abandoning her pre-loved toy bear. Donna the local mongrel refused to share her bed with the teddy bear, so much so that she was willing to give up the bed to the bear. When asked why she thought the bear too repulsive to be near, Donna replied that she couldn’t sleep with the bear there and the human clicking away on her phone camera on the other end. The human cannot be reached for comment.

I’m not sure whether these are caterpillars or not but they were flourishing in the garden downstairs. These might be the yellow spotted millipede. Normally, Donna and I just walk past them but the other day I thought I would try taking pictures.
It was then that I really started seeing them. And what I saw was greatly amusing.
Look at me!!! Look at me!! I can haz moustache too! XD
When we first decided to get a pet, we debated about whether we should get a cat or a dog. Mr P suggested a cat several times because, by all accounts cats are more independent and perhaps more suitable for two busy adults.
But I wanted a pet that will get me exercising regularly. It is a commitment I wanted to make. You can walk or run with a dog, but not with a cat. (It was later that I found out some people do walk their cats on a harness :P)
So we adopted Donna. Dog walking became an everyday item on the day’s to-do list.
How many different pictures can one take of the same dog walking every day? More pictures than I would have thought.
Enjoy. Photos after the jump ;)
