IS THIS YOUR DOG? LET US KNOW FOR A FREE PRINT!
Here is a blue eyed sheep dog we saw at a special place in Kentucky on
November 2, 2013. A mile or two and we would be in Virgina. Once in a
while a non-posed pet strikes us as special and it is not always looks.
Disposition has a lot to do with us picking an "unknown to us" pet and
offering a free print. You just need to contact us and confirm where
this photo was taken and what was around you at the time.

Race and Walk Event to Raise Money for Cancer Research and more...Buddys Race
These dogs were friendly walkers at the Buddy's Race Against Cancer in 2012.
Why Do We Do Buddy's Race Every Year..The story below shows why we started. Now the event is an expected part of our lives every fall.
We have been part of the fall event since a brother went through treatment and was finally healed by God of metastasized melanoma several years ago. He was treated at one of the best facilities in the USA, M.D Anderson in Houston. In the end, after the final surgery,the doctors came to the waiting room and essentially said, "We are sorry he had to go through this surgery. We were in there and there absolutely was no cancer there, regardless of what the testing a few days before had shown". We consider it a miracle from God, prayers and anointing a few days prior combined with the brother feeling that he was going to pass on and what he really wanted was a clean soul when he met his Creator. A miracle it was in the final event. Melanoma internalized is a definite killer but was not the winner in this case. After that, we have been part of the Buddy's Race Against Cancer every year.
Two nice dogs walking with their caretakers.
A few of the lead runners who have just finished the 5k race in 2012
The bridge near the Sunsphere tower from the 1982 Worlds Fair was the staging area for walkers in the 2012 Buddy's Race Against Cancer. Speedy runners were placed at the front of the pack, to the left and out of view of this photograph. We will be participants again this year.

If my feet cooperate, I will be in the race with my wife. If not, I will be an independent event photographer for my point of view of the happenings and the people.

With so many similar events including the emphasis on
breast cancer research, events like Buddy's Race should not be neglected. The turnout is in the thousands and just being there raises the spirits of the hurting and touches the warm hearts of the others present. The link at the top sentence in this blog provides a link to official race information.

Festival Photos in Surreal Edge Enhanced Style
Topaz Labs makes fine plug-ins for Photoshop and other photo editing software.The software used with easy discretion will help produce very nice photography which is realistic, pleasing to the eye and a joy to view. Of course, you must begin with a good photo in the first place.
Going into the more extreme end of the adjustment sliders are results like these, all readily controlled in several aspects of detail, color, clarity, etc. in global or local adjustments. These images are playthings, surreal views. Considered overdone for normal photo editing, such digital manipulation takes images into a different realm. As is, the photos enter a form of art and are not expected to be photos as such, more so posters and exaggerated detail, fun for the eye.
Larger view is much better with these. Click image.
This was a a festival celebrating herbs, emphasis on lavender and everything made from and with it from lavender ice cream to more common but refreshing lavender soaps and lotions, oils and decorative craft work. The amount of foods cooked with lavender is surprising and most certainly taste is dependent on the strength of the herb in the mix...otherwise, it is like eating perfume and that is strange to my taste. Aromas abounded at the festival in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and the crowd was very good for a small city event.
Barbeque truck..no lavender in that.
