Release the Hounds

My parents Black Mouth Cur, Macie, likes to run and run and run and run. It makes taking pictures of her a challenge. I got some funny ones that I will post tomorrow. However, this shot is a lot more … Continue reading

In between hours spent massaging the more obtuse points of Google’s search engine optimization and reading Syl Arena’s very good, if a little basic, Speedliter’s Handbook I went on a short walk. Most of the staff at Country Roads Magazine … Continue reading
