My only complaint -- no that's not true, I got lots today cuz I gots the Stink eye -- is that some of the photos above have limited resolution, preventing me from ripping them off to my own diesk-top.

Call 1-800-Waaahhhh. And use spell check. Or Firefox, which auto-spell-checks for you.

Seriously, I feel your pain. I hate when the resolution is poor. Makes my eyes think they're even more near-sighted than they already are.

Great shots!

I'm curious why the dogs wear muzzles. We run our Schipperkes through Agility courses, which I know are very different than what you run your terriers through. We don't muzzle our dogs.

Is it so nobody takes a quick nip of a competitor's ear? (ouch!)

That's gorgeous! I may have to steal it for my desktop when I'm tired of cloudy skies.

Well done!

Some of you have seen this before, but it really is my desktop shot on the computer, and has been for at least two years. Taken by me on the Lake Pepin 3-Speed tour; back road in Wisconsin.

Problem with some of us is that we post as an attachment and we have to cut resolution to get it in.

I love the Point Reyes photo!

I always have something that is of a current ride. This is my riding buddy Richard. We are trying to find a new trail to ride since Limestone is closed. Taken two weeks ago:

They are chasing a lure through a barrier of what is normally hay bales with a hole in it big enough for one dog at a time to go through. People catch them in an enclosed pen at the end of the race. They are way geared up and trying to get to the lure, and in the excitement, sometimes each other. The muzzles are mostly to prevent fighting in the catch pen with a second purpose of preventing a catcher from being accidentally bitten in the confusion of the moment.

The Brits, being a hardier sort than we are, race their Russells without muzzles. You see more three fingered terriermen that way.

Hi,

Our current computer pulls up random images from my photo files every 20 seconds.
I used to use this shot of my grand daughters for wallpaper on my work computer.

This is my new desktop for when I'm not working. He's a little short for the edges of my monitor, but I couldn't bear to let the program distort him:
