52 on Friday – Rural
This week’s installment … Harvey au natural! The theme is rural, so Harvey and I hit the trails. Mostly, it is still brown and not very pretty, as spring is just starting to show up in Annapolis. Where we might not have flowers and the beginnings of green leaves, we did discover that the ticks survived the winter and are out in full force – gross! I’ve got the tick prevention down for Harvey, but am about ready to put Frontline on myself. Anyone have a great suggestion as to what works well for people, because the stuff I’m using may was well be honey to a fly?
I always like to experiment with how various different dogs look in similar settings. For example, I did a photoshoot recently where the dog look absolutely gorgeous in the brown brush. And Harvey, well, not so much! While he is essentially a black and brown dog, a cattle dog’s fur is usually mottled or speckled, which can make them a challenge to photograph in certain situations. Thankfully, he was very happy to be out an about until we found a spot of color to add to the mix 🙂
Next up, take a look at how Greater Cincinnati photographer, Carol Locey Photography, chose to highlight the theme this week!
Until next time, have joy in your heart, a smile on your face, and a dog by your side!

I’ve never tried this but when we lived in Clarksville, a farmer friend recommended tying one of those ear tags that they put on cows for insect control onto your boots.
As usual, Bonnie, you manage to capture the heart & soul of Harvey – with or without spring flowers & colors!!
I highly recommend you as photographer to anyone I talk to who loves their furry companions as much as you love Harvey.
Your always so handsome, Harvey!
Harvey is absolutely gorgeous in front of the water!
Ugh, I might miss Maryland, the water and the food especially, but I do not miss the bugs! Love that first picture of Harvey on the road! So cute.
Such a handsome dog!! I like the first shot.
Beautiful shots!
love seeing more shots of Harvey
