The Vertical and Horizontal

February 17th, 2011 by Paul Puglisi No comments »

Yes I know I have posted mostly photography posts since I started the blog again.  Mostly because I am in the middle of reading a few books that I would like to write about and I need to reacquaint myself with the last three Aubrey/Maturin books I read so I can write about them.  Right now I am rereading Neal Stephenson‘s The Baroque Cycle.

In the meantime I get to display my photos.

Ranger

February 16th, 2011 by Paul Puglisi No comments »

This is Ranger.  He is just about a year and a half old.  He is an American line sable German Shepherd Dog.  He is our new GSD.  We rescued him from North Carolina back in August of last year.  When the rescue got him he was infested with fleas, heart-worm, and hookworm and he only weighed 46 lbs.  When we adopted him he was 62 lbs and now, as of today, he is 75lbs.  And he has filled out.  He has the best temperament and loves playing with every other dog he comes across. And since he is great with people and adores getting mushed, we are training him to be a therapy dog.

When we lost our other two dogs in 2009, I never thought I would be able to get another, but my wife surprised me with Ranger, much to my chagrin, and he and I have been pretty much inseparable since he got here.

Into the Woods

February 9th, 2011 by Paul Puglisi No comments »

This image was processed with HDR Efex Pro from three bracketed photos.  Here in New Jersey we have received a huge amount of snow in the past month and this one morning while walking my dog, Ranger, I came across this scene with the sun just peaking through the branches.

Ranger was none too happy that he had to wait while I stopped and took a series of bracketed photos for 10 minutes since he was tracking a bunny.
