Does this Border Collie make my butt look big? ;-)

Thanks everyone! Some people were calling Liz a brown noser LOL I can't believe Eilean didn't mind Liz's nose in her butt...Eilean is blind in one eye, and half the time she doesn't even know Liz is there...

I'm a photographer, and I primarily take photos of animals and nature etc...the chickens have been a real treat to shoot. Krcote, I use a DSLR, Olympus E-3, that might be a little pricey for you, but if you are wanting a decent DSLR camera, (I can only speak for Olympus, but there are great mid range Nikons and Canons out there too) the E-510 or the E-520 are both nice cameras as well. My backup camera is the E-520, and I've gotten some super nice shots out of it. You can usually pick up one or the other on ebay for around $300.

I recently got an Olympus Pen and am pleased with it so far - it takes great outdoor pics! Low light isn't so great - kind of struggles. Still trying to figure out the manual settings so I can hopefully bypass the auto issues. I really wish I would have gotten a nicer camera a few years ago when my first was born... but at least I have it now! The one thing I like is that the Pen is smaller than a DSLR so much more portable. Not quite the pocket size of a point and shoot, but OK enough for a decent size diaper bag. I looked at DSLRs and decided that if they were too big, I would never take it with me, and in turn I would never actually have it to use it which totally defeats the purpose.

Oh, and those are some great pics!

That first picture reminds me of my border collie, Zoey. She tends to do that at times. That is a beautiful roo you have there, what kind is he?

Oh the Oly Pen is a great camera, and a really sexy looking camera as well ;-) very retro looking. A photographer friend of mine has one and loves it. She actually puts vintage glass/lenses on hers, and gets some awesome shots.

Thanks, I think Pablo is pretty handsome too ;-) He was supposed to have been a Delaware pullet ;-) , but as you can see, he must have been "mislabled" ;-) They said he was actually a Malay rooster, the game fowl folks say he's some kind of a game fowl, but probabaly a mutt Malay. He was getting a little 'western' for a while and trying to have a go at me, we had to have a couple of 'talks', and now he seems to have settled down some, although he did attack my poor cat this morning ;-( grrrrr
