The eyes (and ears) have it

You may remember that I mentioned I’m part of the Daily Dog Challenge group on Flickr.  There’s a new prompt each day for inspiration.  I thought I’d share a few recent shots I’ve posted for the various daily challenges in December.

Up first, the photo below was in response to the prompt: “Make a photograph with your dog that captures your idea of beauty today.”

That one was easy – who could resist those eyes?

After the jump, find more photos for your viewing pleasure…

Another prompt from the holiday season: “However you and your dog choose to celebrate today, share it with us, and enjoy the day!”

Roscoe chose to celebrate with a nice nap.

This next one is a bit more abstract.  The prompt: Take a high contrast photo of your dog today! Whether you use a background or some kind of photo enhancement, remember to have fun with it!”

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of taking photos of Bella’s ear.  Is that weird?

I have a few more from December to share… but I’ll save those for next week’s Wordless Wednesday.  Have to keep you wanting more, right?

You can see all of the photos submitted as part of the DDC here.  Enjoy!

  1. They were all terrific pictures. But the ear was just amazing. It looked like a bird wing.

    It's a lovely example of sharing something with us by cropping that you get to wonder at all the time.

  2. My Mom says there's nothing as soft as a dog's ears. She thought she was the only one who loved the feel of a dog's ears. I let her pet my ears all the time cuz it feels good to dogs too.

    Sorry for the long comment! Have a great day!

  4. i'm generally an ears & tail kind of girl, but that first shot of bella's eyes really is so beautiful

  5. I'm still a fan of the red boa shot! Not that I'm biased or anything. I always love seeing how people will interpret the challenges every day!

  6. All great shots but I have to agree with many others – the one of her ear is just amazing.

    Do you mind if I ask what the blue background is?

  7. That is a fantastic ear picture. I love how you can really see the fur texture! Although, now I am worried that Bella is the big, bad wolf. "My what big ears you have, Bella!"

  8. I love doggie ears. They are adorable! And of course the eyes are always telling us something, and I can always use a nap! 🙂

  9. i particularly like the middle picture. i love that dogs can sleep with their noses in their toes. if only we could all be that flexible!

    you like taking ears, i like taking toes 🙂

  11. Oh man what a cutie! I don't think you could've picked a better picture for that prompt, and I'm so happy you decided to share with all of us other dog lovers out here! Definitely puts a smile on my face and made my day just a little cuter 🙂
