Groodle Action

This is our new pup Indy. Indy is half Golden Retriever and half Poodle, otherwise known as a Groodle or a Golden Doodle. Whatever the name, he’s an adorable pup. I’ve taken many photos of him already but I wanted to show something of his nature. I like this shot cause it captures his playfulness and his oodles of shaggy hair.

Creative Photo – Red Dawn

From our balcony, when you look east, you see one of the ridges of the Dandenong Ranges. Each morning, about the time I wake up, I am frequently greeted with a stunning sunrise as the sun fires up the sky as it ascends over the ridge. Some distance away, the top of a tree is completely dead but sits almost center of the rising sun. I took this photo of the tree and the sun as it was rising.

I edited the image in the GIMP tweeking the hue slider towards the red tones. This is my second entry into the Creative Photo Contest.
