Overdue Pupdate

Challenges this year have shifted my focus away for keeping up with the Pupdates. The past three months were a jumble of emotions and activities. However, as many blog followers do, I too look forward to the Pupdates so here is February - April 2019.

April 12 The yard flooded after many days of rain.
Ullr checking out the new pond.
An added dimension for Chinook tag.
April 16, 2019 I am taking a photo class and for my project I hope to get worthy pictures of the dogs. Everything has to be shot manually and without after-shot editing. I have a LOT to learn.
Koyuk
 Trask
 Trask - nice shot, poor white balance.
April 17, 2019 Trask presented me with a squirrel to add to his portrait.
"I am not giving it up. You just have to take your picture where I am."
 Cedar - white balance tripped me up again.
 Trask - need a lot of work figuring out depth of field.
 Koyuk - composition and depth of field issues.
April 20, 2019 When I started this photo, Koyuk and Cedar were entangled in one another's legs. By the time I figured out the camera settings, Koyuk had moved away.  Dogs and photography is harder than I thought.
April 21, 2019 - Trask after chasing a weasel hiding in a muddy ditch pipe for over an hour. Only after I took the shot did I notice the dead mouse caught in his collar.
4-23-2019  Koyuk - my skills are improving.
Well, I have blown hours finding and downloading photos to this post. Time to move on to actually studding for my photo class.
