Lately I have actively been loving my dog. For all his cons (stubborn, barky, cat chaser) he has a lot of pros (snuggly, loyal, friendly). As he's gotten used to our life more things come to light. Whenever I stop on the street to talk to someone or root around in my bag or take a picture he sniffs for a few moments then waits patiently on a slack leash. This makes him, frankly, about the perfect photographer's dog.
Today I had my camera with me while we walked and I realized it was a perfect chance to get something for the Aiming Low photo challenge this week. They are much stricter than I am. You have to take your shot in the week of the challenge. The prompt was "April Showers Bring May Flowers" so I toured the neighborhood snapping nice but kind of boring pictures. Turning the corner toward home I saw a lowly dandelion and thought, "Well, no one will share one of those." The dog loitered quite nearby. I still felt the shot was kind of boring so, just for fun, I called him over and had him sit. While I fiddled with a setting and framed a shot he did his thing. After 4 or 5 clicks of the shutter he did this all on his own.
Perfect photographer's dog.
