No Birdies But a Gator and a Puppy

When I play golf, often the only good shots I make are with my camera. I've made it a habit to bring it with me when I play. Warmer weather brought out the alligators that decorate the course's ponds.



A 300mm lens let me get that close. I got within about six feet of it.

More temperate temperatures also brought one of the residents of the housing development that surrounds the course out with his two-month old puppy. The sun was behind the pup and the shutter noise startled it and, short on time before we had to go play the next hole, I didn't take the time to compensate for the lighting issue properly. But I think the cuteness comes through.





A little post production to brighten up the area around her eyes would help. That thing was the cutest little puppy dog maybe ever.
