So I have decided to go back to school and do something that I really love…Photography. After my first week of classes with Riley in tow, I realized that I need jump on the Lightroom bandwagon and organize all my photos properly and categorize them. Doing so I found some pictures from 2004 that I really wanted to share… wow, it’s amazing how fast time flies! Kyra is my first dog as an adult and she is a very faithful little companion, though she isn’t too little. She also happens to be the best trail dog in the world, staying off leash on a trail and always within sight of me. If for a split second she looses sight, she will immediately run back to me to make sure I am okay. The following pics were taken at RedRock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas.

Black & White has really worked well with these shots. Love the contrasts. I really need to start that cataloging but it always gets put on the backburner!!!

Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! This looks like such a wonderful hike! That’s awesome you’re going back to school for photography…that’s actually what I want to go back to school for as well. I haven’t been in school for so long I barely know how to get started, I wish I’d figured this out years ago!!
Shih Tzu Mommy says
Well it’s my midlife career change… and our community college has a better photo program than the university. You should go back, it’s a lot of fun!!
cbandkona says

Wow. These are incredible! Kyra is gorgeous. She looks right at home there. I think these will be my favorites of the week. What is the Lightroom bandwagon? I need to organize my photos desperately, so if it will help I would love to know more.

What a great decision! I hope you have fun going back to school! I love the last shot too, looks like an amazing place to hike on the trails!
Shih Tzu Mommy says
If you are ever in Vegas, make sure you make a trip out to RedRock Canyon… it’s just west of town. The hikes are beautiful and just off the side of the road. I used to live there, but one year in February my hubby and I ran into snow in the canyon, it was beautiful!
Roxy the traveling dog says
Beautiful shots. And have fun learning more about photography. I would love to do that.

Kyra is beautiful and so is your hiking location! I’m green with envy. I’d love to take Frankie somewhere like that although I doubt he’d wait for me, lol. Beryl would probably break a leg within 5 minutes. Good on you for going back to school to learn more about photography.

Ohh thank you!! She loves the desert, though I am more found of the mountains and hiking to lakes … deserts are good for winter hiking, but leashes are a must because of the snakes ๐ฎ
Jen K says
Great scenery for a photo shoot! She poses well for the camera, too!
