Lady with paper by david malcolmson
Gran loved to have flutter on the horses, and here she is studying the racing pages. I don’t know how she managed to read them as she had cataracts at the time. Sheer will-power, I suppose. One of the very first shots I took with a pre-war Leica IIIb which I had saved up for from my pocket-money. Was 19 years old at time. I lke the Rembrandtesque lighting – natural light from the window. This would be 1960.

Road to Lost Horse Valley by steveberlin
Between Lost Horse Valley and Sheep Pass lies miles of road which meandor through Joshua Tree National Park, CA. The roads themselves are not especially scenic, however the yucca trees, creosote bushes, and spidery ocotillo can provide some really interesting views. This photograph was taken late in the afternoon on a winter’s day when sun was minimal and intentionally overexposed to allow for burn in on the brush and clouds. I was hoping for a red feel to this strange place. Canon Elan, Agfa film, 20mm lens, 4 secs.

Pixie Cap Factory by David Lade
Ever wonder where those little guys get their caps from? Here’s one just about ready to pop off and become a head-warmer! It is of course the state flower of California, Eschscholzia californica, or California Poppy. What I loved about this image most was the diagonal line made by the petal ready to be unfurled under the cap. Also nice colour contrasts between the orange, red, white, green of the poppy and the blue of the background daisies. Velvia scan

Christmas Beetle at Cosy Corner by David Lade
Christmas beetles (Anoplognathus) belong to the Scarab family and include flower chafers, cock chafers, and fiddle beetles. This one was spending his summer holidays at Cosy Corner, (near St Helens, Tasmania), on a Melaleuca bush. I liked the contrast between the mauve and green. Velvia scan.

MOM AND THE THREE KIDS by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED DEOGEE, I NEVER KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE SUCH A WONDERFUL MOTHER. IN FACT, FOR A LONG TIME, IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE I WAS GOING TO GET TO BREED HER AT ALL. SINCE SHE WAS REGISTERED WITH WORLD WIDE KENNEL ASSOCIATION, I NEEDED A REGISTERED MALE TO BE ABLE TO REGISTER THE LITTER. I GOT LUCKY, 2 1/2 YEARS AFTER GETTING DEOGEE,IN 1995 I WAS GIVEN A PAPERED 13 WEEK OLD TIMBERWOLF, WHICH I NAMED “FOUR SOCKS”. AT THE AGE OF 11 MONTHS, SOCKS GOT TOGETHER WITH DEOGEE WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE OVER 3 1/4 YEARS OLD. BUT, THE AGE DIFFERENCE DIDN’T SEEM TO BOTHER THEM AND I CERTAINLY DIDN’T OBJECT. SINCE SOCKS WAS SO YOUNG, I FIGURE HE GAVE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE STRENGTH HE HAD IN HIS LOINS AT THAT AGE AND DEOGEE ONLY HAD 3 PUPPIES. BUT, THAT WAS OK WITH ME, 3 WAS PLENTY. IN THIS PHOTO OF “MOM AND THE THREE KIDS”, THAT I TOOK JUST 4 WEEKS AFTER THE PUPS WERE BORN, ON JANUARY 22, 1996, DADDY, SOCKS WAS STANDING OFF TO THE LEFT OF THE PHOTO AND THE ONLY LIFE FORMS I’VE EVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRINGING INTO THIS WORLD WERE ALL STANDING ON THE DEVIDER BOARD, TRYING TO SEE WHAT DAD WAS DOING. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE, “TACOMA”, NAMED AFTER THE TOYOTA PICK UP TRUCK, GO FIGURE. “SMOKEY FOUR SOCKS” NAMED AFTER HIS FATHER AND “SASHA MARIE”, WHO DIDN’T GET THE SAME LOVE AS THE 2 BOYS DID. THE LAST TIME I SAW HER SHE WAS 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IN THE CUSTODY OF THE DOG POUND. MOM, DEOGEE IS STANDING WATCH IN THE BACKGROUND. DAMN PEOPLE, IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TREAT A HYBRID LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, IN EVERY WAY, DON’T GET ONE. THEY NEED LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS AT LEAST, THEN YOU CAN SLACK UP SOME. DON’T GET A WOLF DOG JUST TO SAY YOU HAVE A WOLF HYBRID. IT TAKES LOTS OF DEDICATION TO RAISE WOLVES AND I DON’T RECOMMEND PUREBRID WOLVES TO ANYONE. LEAVE THEM IN THE WILD, BUT HYBRIDS OF THE RIGHT MIX, MAKE FANTASTIC COMPANIONS AND FAMILY MEMBERS.

DO WE EAT FISH by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS
IN JANUARY OF 2003, I CAUGHT A STURGEON OUT IN SUISUN BAY. THAT IS IN THE SACRAMENTO DELTA WATERWAYS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IT IS AN AREA THAT FLOWS TOWARDS SAN FRANSISCO BAY ON THE OUTGOING TIDE. ANYWAY, I BROUGHT THIS STURGEON HOME AND HUNG IT UP IN THE GARAGE TO BLEED OUT A LITTLE MORE. IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE AND I NEEDED THE RAFTERS FOR A PLACE UP HIGH. I LET MY THREE WOLD HYBRIDS, DEOGEE, SOCKS AND SMOKEY OUT IN THE GARAGE TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO AROUND THE FISH. SOCKS SNIFFED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND JUST KIND OF MOSIED OFF TOWARDS THE GARAGE DOOR. HE IS THE DARK ONE IN THE FAR BACK GROUND. SMOKEY, SOCKS’S AND DEOGEE’S SON, IS RIGHT AT THE TAIL OF THE STURGEON AND IS TAISTING FISH BLOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE. I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO TAKE A BITE OF THE TAIL, BUT HE NEVER DID. DEOGEE, JUST LOOKED AT THE FISH AND HAD AN EXPRESSION ON HER FACE LIKE, “DO WE EAT FISH”? OF COURSE WITH HER BACK TURNED TOWARDS THE CAMERA, YOU CAN’T SEE HER FACE, BUT I DID. I SURE DO MISS HAVING MY PACK. A LOT OF SCHOOL KIDS SAW THEM EVERY DAY AS THEY WALKED PASSED MY HOUSE. SOME OF THEM EVEN CAME UP TO MY DOOR AND ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HYBRIDS AND IF THEY MADE GOOD PETS OR NOT. I TOLD THEM THAT LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD LIED AND THEY MAKE GREAT PETS. BUT, YOU HAVE TO TREAT THEM LIKE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY AND YOU MUST BECOME THE ALFA, OR THEY CAN RUN YOUR LIFE RAGGED. I MUST ADMIT, THESE 3 WERE SOME FANTASTIC COMPANIONS. I MISS THEM DEARLY AND SOMETIMES WISH FOR THE PAST TO RETURN. ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT NEVER WILL.

THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS
THIS,,,,,,WAS MY NANNU, THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN 1983, WHEN HE WAS 6 YEARS OLD. WASN’T HE GORGEOUS. WHEN I GOT NANNU IN JUNE OF 1977, I DIDN’T KNOW HE WOULD BE “THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL”. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE PERSONALITY HE HAD THAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH WOLF HYBRIDS. NANNU WAS AN 80% TIMBER WOLF, WITH 10% ALASKAN HUSKY AND 10% MALAMUTE. THAT IS WHY I WAS SURPRISED HE WAS ALL WHITE. EXCEPT WHEN HE WAS IN THE SNOW, THEN HE TURNED YELLOW. VALLEY SMOG AND ALL THAT YOU KNOW. ANYWAY, HE WAS MY BUDDY, MY COMPANION, MY INSPIRATION AND HE DEVELOPED A DESIRE IN ME TO HAVE MORE WOLF HYBRIDS. WHEN I HAD TO PUT NANNU DOWN IN 1992, I ONLY WENT 4 DAYS BEFORE I HAD TO GO OUT AND FIND ME ANOTHER 8 WEEK OLD HYBRID PUPPY. THAT DECISSION LEAD TO ME HAVING 3 MORE HYBRIDS, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. “DEOGEE” SHAWNA WHITE WOLF WAS HER REGISTERED NAME AND SHE WAS 75% ARCTIC, 10% GERMAN SHEPHERD AND 15% MALAMUTE. SHE TOO WAS WHITE, ONLY WITH AN APRICOT BLANKET ON HER BACK. NANNU WAS MY FIRST WOLF AND HE LASTED THE LONGEST. HE WAS 15 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS OLD WHEN I HAD TO PUT HIM DOWN BECAUSE OF TUMORS ON HIS SPINE AND IN HIS HIPS. I KNEW THEY WERE CAUSING HIM PAIN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT I COULDN’T AFFORD TO GIVE HIM TREATMENT AND ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH HIM PROGRESSIVELY GET WEAKER EACH DAY. BY THE TIME I HAD TO HAVE HIM PUT DOWN, HE HAD TO LEAN AGAINST THE FENCE IN MY BACKYARD TO URINATE. I COULDN’T MAKE HIM SUFFER ANY LONGER. I CALLED MY VET AND HAD HIM COME TO MY HOUSE AND PUT NANNU TO SLEEP IN MY ARMS, ON MY BED. I WRAPPED HIM UP IN HIS FAVORITE BED SHEET AND CARRIED HIM IN MY ARMS OUT INTO THE BACKYARD, WHERE I LAYED HIM TO REST FOR ALL TIME. THE CONCRETE AND CIRAMIC HEAD STONE WILL BE JOINED SOON BY THE 3 THAT I HAVE IN BOXES ON MY GUN CABINET IN MY BEDROOM. DEOGEE, FOUR “SOCKS” / AND “SMOKEY”FOUR SOCKS. MOM, DAD AND SON. THAT IS GOING TO BE A RUFF DAY. I’M SO GLAD I HAVE SASHA AND CHEWBACCA NOW. THE LEGACY LIVES ON WITH MY HYBRID, CHEWBACCA. IF IT’S TRUE ABOUT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, I WILL HAVE A PACK OF 7 HYBRIDS AND ONE LAB/SHEPHERD MIX WAITING FOR ME WHEN MY TIME COMES TO GO HOME.
