Sonic is 6 months old!

He is such a handsome puppy. Love his stick earring and flying ears.

A few from our little morning hike. He was a champ! Me - not so much, I have to get back in shape!

Sonic is just the cutest! I love the lighting you get in your photos and I'm guessing that the shallow depth of field accentuates Sonic in the pictures, too. I never seem to get good photos of my black dogs. I have only used a phone camera for years. If I want better photos I guess I should go back to a 35 mm camera, right?

Yeah, black dogs are tricky to photograph. Definitely cameras are much better than phones, I still have an old phone (iPhone 7), but I am not sure about the newer ones (I'd like to try them out, I see they can create decent portraits). These were shot with a 50mm lens and the f-stop was mainly 1.4. The longer the focal length and the lower the f-stop you get a blurrier background.

It's explained nicely here:

First snow today for little Sonic!

Sonic is a year younger than Joey but Joey hasn't seen snow yet! We did not get snow last winter. I love seeing them discover snow! Looks like Sonic is a fan!

Yeah, last year was incredibly warm here too. We just had a little bit of snow which melted fast.

A few from today, a stroll through the snowy woods. Cookie loved these woods (profile and signature pictures were taken there) and it was time for little Sonic to meet them.
