My favorite dogs

This picture was taken for our 2006 Holiday Card. Azure was only 6 months old and Indigo was 3yr 6mos. Hubby was bribing them off camera with cheese. They'll do anything for cheese.

The Big Picture

One of my favorite blogs is a picture blog put out by boston.com. The Big Picture is unlike most blogs in that the pictures are provided in large format, about 800x600, and high resolution. All the images selected by the editor (a computer programmer, not a Globe editor) are stunning and breath-taking. Check out in particular, the posts about the US Swimming Trials, the Tour de France, and recent volcanic activity.
