I went to Louisa‘s house this evening to deliver her newborn photos on DVD, and couldn’t resist taking photos of their husky while I was having a cup of coffee. How absolutely stunning are this dog’s eyes?!
My f-stop was a little low, but I liked the effect with the focus just on his eyes in this shot.
See the full set of 2010 photo-a-day photos on my Project 365 Flickr Set.
What a beautiful pup!!!
Droooool 
stuNNNNNNing Jeanette!!! I just LOVE your work!
I love your photos! You’re very talent.
gorgeous.
But that second last one where he is looking up freaked me out a little. Those eyes are so BLUE!
That photo is breath-taking! What a lovely dog
Oh my word! What a stunning picture and beautiful dog.
I love Husky’s eyes. Too beautifull!!
I love the second photo. So werewolf movie like.
Gorgeous
Wow! Stunning shots!!! Oh man, you make me wish I was better at photography!
Oh he is beautiful!!
Lovely photos. Great dog.
He looks like a wolf a bit
Actually I feel recently many of the portrait shots that I have seen look similar. All the focus is on the eyes or one of part of the face and rest of the body is out of focus. So, it’s perfect
oh wow! Those are stunning!
Wow Jeanette, you really got him good! He never wants to sit still for me like that.
*sigh* that is just beautiful! I love huskies! love them!
what a pretty dog! love that first shot. such fun to see such lovely doggy shots here.
Absolutely amazing blue eyes!! Stunning photo’s!!!
What a beautiful dog!
what a fantastic shot! i love that the depth of field is so small – keep your focus right on those beautiful eyes!
Gorgeous photos, magnifecent dog!!
Wow! What a lovely dog. Awesome pics.
Wow !!! Stunningly blue!
Incredible shot!
So hauntingly beautiful!
WOW!!!!!@
wow, those eyes are beautiful!
I spent a wonderful afternoon on Saturday with the M family in a park close to their home north of Johannesburg. I hope they had as much fun as I did in the end… the younger 2 girls were not quite pleased about the prospect of the photos but they soon warmed up to the idea.
I started the afternoon by taking photos of the girls with their pets before we headed off for the park.
Their dog was quite funny, and was talking to me while I took photos of him.
and the last one is my favourite one of the day… hope they like it too!

They’re wonderful, and it looks like the girls warmed to it a little!

I loved the Soweto kids too.

what wonderful photos! Although I did have to do a double take on the first one because at first I didn’t realize those were pets-I thought it was a wrap.

To answer Firefly…..no. Aniamls are harder than most toddlers! lol
I’m always amazed by pet photographers- they have a tough job!
LOVE his/her eyes in this one
Amys last blog post..Sledding With the Cousins
Some day I wonder if it’s not easier to take photos of animals than people.
I’m telling you, there’s nothing better than celebrating Christmas in the southern hemisphere where you can enjoy the hot weather with friends and family and spend your days in the pool (or at the beach but we’re never that lucky at Christmas time). Jealous yet?Here are the last photos of our Christmas… I promise
Licking pool water
It’s the closest she gets to the pool, she’s very scared of the water.
Shark in the water
I have no idea where Bradley learnt this, but it’s the cutest thing.
Cutie Connor
Swimming with Granny
Jackie getting a hug
Mastering his new scooter
Fun stocking filler
My beautiful child
Playing with Bradley’s gormitis
Old Flame
These flame lilies in my mom’s garden only flower at Christmas time. My mom brought them back from Zimbabwe in the early 1980′s and they’ve been flowering in her garden ever since. They’re very difficult to grow, and this year only one plant is flowering.
Sunflower
That’s it folksI know, I’ve got a bit overboard this week, hope you’ve got this far
This is what Christmas does to toddlers…

2008 left me feeling a little like that last photo!
acidicices last blog post..Hello 2009
WOW! I have never seen or heard of a flame lily, but that is gorgeous. I adore lilies and I just had to show that to my husband
What a beautiful set of shots. I just love that you all were playing in the water during Christmas. What fun!
Momisodess last blog post..It Finally Happened. I Cracked.
They are all lovely Jeanette, I have some difficult bulbs here as well. They sulked for 10 years after I transplanted them.. *sigh* and only flowered last year.. I thought the wallabies had eaten them but no, they were just sulking.. xoxoxox Yay for Christmas in the pool.
frogpondsrocks last blog post..My imaginary friends…
as always, fantastic pics. I especially love the pool shots and the Groucho glasses!
Aah – they are all beautiful – as always! Love the one with Elaine and Jackie. Beautiful one of Bradley (for frame .. for me!??) Love Connor’s face in pool! Last one is precious – the ‘wild child’ sleeps!
Jeanette, your Christmas looks nice and warm! Great photo of the sunflower, your beautiful son….and all of them really! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Tinas last blog post..Merry Christmas
Just a social call… I didn’t play this week…
Lovely photos as always!
Wonderful and warm holiday pics, I love it! I really love the sunflower and that last one of Connor is soooo cute! And Bradley is SUCH a beautiful boy.
Karins last blog post..Weekly Winners: 21 – 27 December
Ah, such perfect shots, all! I definitely could enjoy Christmas where it’s warm. Yep.
Maggie’s Minds last blog post..Weekly Winners 12/28/08
Oh, Jenty, they are all so lively and wonderful. That last one is the epitome of toddlerhood!
I love the shark thing — it’s very cute! The flame lily is gorgeous. It’s very strange to see photos of people in pools and flowers and all when we have a couple feet of snow and it’s 3 degrees out!
julies last blog post..Weekly Winners!
Hello again…

marcelles last blog post..Photo’s of Zet (taken on Xmas day )
What Christmas does to toddlers? Shoot that was me after it was all over!
My brother and I used to do that whole shark in the water thing, too. That photo brought back a ton of memories of spending hours in the pool together.
Huckdolls last blog post..So Much
These are all gorgeous. But that last one, well it speaks for itself! Just perfect!
I have to say it’s kinda strange to see kids in the pool at Christmas! : )
Merry Holidays!
Elaines last blog post..Weekly Winners – 12/28 – The Year in Review
They are all lovely photo’s Jeanette and each one tells a story. I especially like the sunflower pic and the one of Bradley *my beautiful child*
Stunning
gorgeous once again . . . . I should take a photo of all the puddles of ice around here!! 50 inches of rain this month!
If you could see my face right now, it’s yellow and green (it depends on the language) of jalousie !! I think I am born on the wrong side of the world !
All such beautiful photos. I love the funny glasses.
Secret Mom Thoughtss last blog post..Weekly Winners-Holiday Lights
I love the last one. Mine looked about the same around 11 Christmas morning. It was present overload.
Wonderful shots this week.
Lisas last blog post..Yep…once again, it’s all my fault
Yes!!
You did make me jealous!And not only because of the pool and the sunflower and the good weather!
But because each and every one of those pictures is a winner!! Wonderful!
I hope you have a nice Sunday Jeanette!

What a great set! My faves are: Cutie Connor; what beautiful eyes~My beautiful child~Sunflower~& LOL @ the last one’s caption; the pic is precious though; there’s nothing like a sleeping child!
Connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=December 21-27 2008
I’m jealous…but saying that I have over the last 4 years chosen to stay here for xmas as the atmosphere is like nothing I’ve experienced back home at Xmas time…its family I miss at this time.
Photo’s are amazing, each one tells a story – the flower is very special as well..
Thanks for sharing.

Jackie was so cute when I tried to take photos of her today. I only managed to get one good shot of her face before she started rolling over on the grass wanting a tummy rub!

She sure does look like a sweetheart; great for your boys, I’m sure.
What gorgeous eyes.
jack russels are the cutest!
I love her face, special the warm brown eyes! Great shots Jeannette!
We are now busy pretty much in the coming days with our upcoming travel plans, so sorry that I was not visiting so often and maybe not will be more in the future.
Susanne in Charlestons last blog post..David’s Specials today
LOL! Sweetie Pie! Our mini dachsi, Schatzie, does EXACTLY the same thing!
I miss having animals…
We decided not to as we travel a lot and not fair on them…but seeing as all my friends are leaving I am going to consider it for next year….will need something to keep me company.
Lovely shots.

kompostelas last blog post..My Toddler Painted Tulip
I also like my tummy rubbed, but that’s another story altogether. Sorry, but that just sounded way too … em, on another note. We have considered getting a Jack Russel cause they are great dogs to have if you have small kids. Maybe.

Hi Jeanette,
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. That’s a pet for you. They will not cooperate when you need to photograph them.
