Magnificent light and exposure! A really impressive capture. WOW.

@Stephen Phillips: Thanks Stephen! It would have been nice if the idiot operating the camera had reset the aperture.

Lovely forms and shadows of dark and light, and then there is the itty-bitty yapping dog! Very nice humorous touch.

@Dulcie: They had him tied to the downspout...a wonder he didn't drag the house around!

I learned when traveling in scotland, that the smallest dogs make the best watch dogs: as they have outstanding hearing: and wake up the "enforcer" larger dogs with their constant yelping... Guess you have proof of the yelping calling for help. Great contrast of behavior vs size.

How funny. If he were as big as he thinks he is, you'd need a wider lens.

Glad you escaped unscathed. Those patrols through the dandelions can be very dangerous...:o)

Its really cool how the shadow of the one house encompases a window on the other house. It looks like a window in the shadow. You see what I mean?

@jeff (aka dogilicious): Thanks Jeff! I actually saw that...what you said...thanks for noticing my minutiae. I had to be there at a certain time while the leaves were off for that to occur.
