Good dogs in every color, shape and size are looking for love at your local shelter or rescue. The dogs below are dreaming of a loving home with a soft bed, some good food and belly rubs. If you can make their dreams come true, they would love meet and are available for adoption with azrescue.org in Phoenix, AZ.
I love seeking out patterns, shapes, lines and colorful subjects in nature. It’s good exercise for my eyes and brain. Nature is a never ending supply of all of these things. Below are some photos of various plants, flowers and trees that caught my eye. The first photo is titled Music in the Garden, because the blades of grass reminded me of musical notes.
Put your cat's favorite bed or piece of cat furniture in a place that has good light, get creative with perspective and try shooting from a high angle. Make some whispery sounds, focus on the eyes and be ready to capture their curious expression when they look at up at you. Cats have the most amazing eyes and high angle perspectives are a wonderful way to showcase them.
Don't forget about the background. It is an important element in portraits. Seek out clean backgrounds and colors that compliment your subject. Wood floors can make a beautiful backdrop for a cat portrait.
