foggy morning

beautiful white snow

Dogs are so predictable. You give them a treat, they’re happy. You leave the house without them, they’re utterly crushed. It’s one of the reasons they’re so lovable. This white cutie is the boxer Snow. White boxers are not different from any other boxers, and they have been around as long as the boxer itself. The reason why white boxers are less common today is there have unfortunately been efforts to remove the gene which causes white fur from the boxer blood line. Its a mad, mad world...

crazy cool

This is Lotte - my parents one year old shipperke. She was not easy to capture with
the camera lense due to her high energy level, but here is one that turned out okay.

a mother`s kiss

I captured this moment of maternal love in the Amsterdam zoo. 

To a child's ear, "mother" is magic in any language.

happy valentines day

I can`t belive I actually found a cow with a heart on his forehead outside my window. A little magic in the ordinary. 

"It does not matter what you do in the bedroom 

as long as you do not do it in the street and frighten the cows."

little king

I love to photograph animals, and dogs in particular.  This is my soon to be mother in laws loyal cavalier through many years - Trico - a Cavalier King Charles. Looking majestic in black and white.

best friends

 Things are never quite as scary when you have a best friend.

bow to the cow

The cow is of the bovine ilk; one end is moo, the other milk.

hold your horses

 

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves 

- strong, powerful, beautiful - 

and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

I see you

"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."
