Great American Total Solar Eclipse of the sun Picture

Monday, 2:26 PM - Today is the day. The climax of much media buildup. The Great American Total Eclipse will be visible here in Monroe, Georgia beginning at 1:07 PM, peaking at 2:38 PM, and ending at 4:02 PM.

​I’m glad there are a lot of people excited for once concerning something that doesn’t involve a video, screen or app. Many are getting outdoors with their dark glasses to observe a phenomenon of God’s creation.
 
We truly live in an ordered universe. The precise seconds of the eclipse are predicted through the clock-work accurate order of the universe. This very fact reveals a God of order, for no precise measurments could be made in a world created by random chance and evolution.
My first look through the viewing glasses was at 1:18 PM. Wow! You can actually see it. A small dark, rounded edge of the moon was passing over the upper right edge of the sun. I went in and out of my office repeatedly over the next several hours making sketches of the eclipse progress.
 
At approximately 2 PM, I could notice it getting a bit dimmer outside. By 2:20 it was noticeably dim, like wearing light sunglasses. And at the maximum, it was clearly much dimmer than normal. It was like late evening, but quite different. The long-shadows and ‘golden hour’ glow of evening were missing though it wasn’t as bright as midday.
 
I wasn’t planning any photographs because I had read a special solar filter was needed. But when a coworker took a somewhat successful shot with his iphone, and didn’t burn up its sensor, I decided to try. I set my camera on a tripod and put a polarizer on my 300mm lens.
 
Using live-view, I centered the sun in the frame and focused to infinity. With ISO set to 100, I choose a ridiculously fast shutter speed of 1/2000 seconds, and a tiny aperture of f/36. It worked. I was able to document the eclipse well enough and not burn up the sensor on my camera! Several shots looked like a detail-less banana on a black background. The most interesting shots were when the sun passed under the edge of a cloud. ​

​Friday, 9:16 AM - Hot, hot, hot and humid. Each day has been a replay of the last: highs around 90°, humidity through the roof. This has been a pretty stressful week with some employee squabbles, a high maintenance “service dog” situation, and a neighborhood in an uproar over a pitbull attacking another dog. Thank God it is Friday, and that it is starting out quieter than the rest of the week.
 
I grabbed my wildlife lens and took a quick walk up to the shelter pond in the rising sun to boost my vitamin D and get off my butt. A Great Egret was fishing on the main pond. Perhaps this is the same bird I shot back on August 10 and 11 on the upper pond? It is not at all skittish and I walked the perimeter of the pond with him. Even approaching within 40 feet, he still kept to his business of spearing small fish and snapping up dragon flies.

It was fun to watch as some small prey would catch his eye. He would stiffen up, but shuffle his neck back and forth in a serpent-like fashion. If the critter was in range, he’d strike.
 
We walked the entire back side of the pond together. As he turned the corner at the far end, the sun was no longer hitting him from the right direction so I went back to my office to get to work. ​

Waltonpets Furtography Session: Terrier Puppy

Friday, 2:46 PM -With a face like that, I knew this terrier pup wouldn’t need a glamour shot. This photo was taken while she was sitting on top of a white counter up against a white wall. Exposing for her black fur blew the counter and wall out to a nice, pure white.
​
I was using a lens I wouldn’t normally put on the camera for a “glamour” shot. I had the 35mm fixed focal length lens that I typically use for the kennel shots. Since lighting isn’t that great in the exam room, the aperture was wide open to f/1.8 and the shutter speed set at 1/160 seconds (which probably could have been slowed down a bit). Auto ISO calibrated at 220.
​The little terrier girl was surrendered by her owner along with her mom, dad and three other sibling pups on August 18, 2017. Country Livin’ Pet Rescue was visiting the shelter that day and took all six dogs!

Waltonpets Furtography Session: Chai

​Tuesday, 8:16 AM - Chai was a plump beauty! This pregnant girl was picked up on a rural county road and the caller suspected she had been dumped. She had a wonderful personality that comes along with English Bulldogs. She ambled slowly along by my side on her way out for her glamour photos. Being so big, she wasn’t up for much walking and plopped herself down while I fired away. Unfortunately she was heartworm positive. But her wonderful personality quickly grabbed the heart of a local rescuer who was at the shelter picking up another dog. 
​Chai was photographed on August 15, 2017 for the Walton County Animal Control shelter and put on the shelter’s website www.waltonpets.net. She was rescued the same day by Safe Harbor/Burlington County Animal Alliance of New Jersey. Her rescue was sponsored by a generous $100 pledge from Lane.

August 25, 2017 -
​An update from Safe Harbor about Chai and her puppies: Sweetie had her puppies this past Saturday morning … 2 girls/1 boy.  I ended up taking her to the vet Sunday as her x-ray showed a possibility of 4 puppies and wanted to make sure as she was acting a little strange but not distressed.  While there were no more puppies, she was running a little bit of a temperature and when vet examined her felt she might be coming down with milk fever so gave her a shot of penicillin and gave me some calcium supplements and to keep her on amoxicillin (which I had) for 7-10 days.  She is definitely nursing better now than at first. She is such a sweet girl … once she weans her pups and her milk dries up I will get her spayed and HW treated.  I should be able to get done prior to our CT event where I think she and her puppies will be adopted quickly :)

Tuesday, 8:56 AM - What a happy expression… especially for a dog that just got dumped off at a shelter. It is amazing how these wonderful animals still love us awful humans...
​
Animal Control got a call about a stray brown dog on Monday. An officer went to patrol but didn’t locate the dog. The following day, a young man with the same last name and phone number as the caller from Monday brought the dog to the shelter claiming he was a stray.
​
During the intake process, the staff was excited to find a microchip. Perhaps we’ll find his home quickly. But guess what: the microchip was registered to the same last name and phone number as the person who brought the dog in stray. After a few phone calls, the owner finally called back and the truth came out.
 
How much nicer it would have been (and morally upright) to have told the truth when they brought Bosco to the shelter. We could have gotten some background history and a completed owner surrender card to help him find a new home.
 
But even through all that, Bosco remains a happy, loving dog, trusting of people. I wish I could have the same faith and optimism in my fellow human beings as a dog like Bosco. 
​Bosco was photographed for the Walton County Animal Control shelter on August 15, 2017 and placed for adoption or rescue on www.waltonpets.net. Bosco was rescued on August 19 by Canine Caravan Rescue! His rescue was sponsored by a generous donation from Lane.

Tuesday, 8:42 AM - ​Dobby was a cute little Chiweenie (Chihuahua and Dachshund mix) that was brought in to the shelter as a stray. She was a friendly little girl but had no interest in looking at the camera. Just for something different, and a bit closer by, I hooked her leash to the gate in front of the shelter, laid on my belly and fired a few shots. 
​ “Dobby” was brought to the Walton County Animal Control shelter on August 14, 2017 by a citizen who had found her stray. She was photographed the next day and picked up by Safe Harbor Rescue and transported to Burlington County Animal Alliance of NJ on August 17, 2017!

Tuesday, 9:19 AM - ​I was on a roll! Good conditions for photos; plenty of get-up-and-go this morning. I shot several dogs in a row. Sure this pretty Brittany Spaniel would get claimed by her owner, but why not get a few photos while I’m at it.
 
“Mattie” had on an orange collar and a shock collar. Not long after coming through the front door her owner called and made arrangements to claim her that day. 
​Tuesday, 9:26 AM - “Mattie” the Brittany Spaniel was turned in stray to the Walton County Animal Control shelter on August 15, 2017. She was reunited with her owner the same day.

Tuesday, 8:27 AM - “If I had the room, I’d take her home with me!” I know everybody says that when they see a dog’s photo posted on an adoption website. But for Mocha, I was speaking this out for real! What a great pup! A young, chocolate,  Weimaraner (mostly) girl.

Sometimes I’m baffled how dogs like Mocha don’t get claimed by an owner. This was no uncared for stray, no dumped dog with health issues. She was absolutely beautiful and well behaved. But no owner came to look for her. But her enthusiastic adopter was glad they didn’t! 
“Mocha” was picked up stray by a Walton County Animal Control officer on August 14, 2017. She had her animal shelter photoshoot on August 15 and was adopted on August 17!

Great Egret Fishing Habit...

Great Egret Walton County Georgia Picture

Friday, 3:37 PM – at nearly the exact same time, and sitting precisely on the same log, my cooperative Great Egret was spear fishing and preening once again. I was able to get even closer today. 

According to an article entitled Researcher lives his life with egrets, Friends University professor Michael Pearce stated the birds tend to be predictable in their daily patterns. “Once they establish a routine it’s pretty much like a milk run, the same place day after day.” Pearce could predict, almost to the exact branch, where a bird would be perched in a tree on the far side of the river.

Just like humans, if the fishing is good, the egrets will keep coming back. ​According to Cornell, the Great Egret eats mainly small fish but also eats amphibians, reptiles, birds, small mammals and invertebrates such as crayfish, dragonflies and damselflies, whirligig beetles, giant water bugs, and grasshoppers. It hunts in belly-deep or shallower water in marine, brackish, and freshwater wetlands, alone or in groups. It wades as it searches for prey, or simply stands still to wait for prey to approach.

​Thursday, 8:48 AM – all of the dogs in the shelter now have glamour shots posted. I have to get up from my desk and take a short walk. Sitting at the computer staring at a screen cramps my back and makes my head hurt. I take a short walk to the ponds behind the shelter.
 
Although it is overcast and only in the 80’s, I quickly start sweating from the high humidity. A few hummingbirds were busy near the duckweed bog drinking nectar from small, bell-shaped, orange flowers growing out of the wet ground.
 
According to allaboutbirds.org, the wonderful website from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, “Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange flowers. Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, which humans can’t see.”

​Thursday, 3:16 PM – on the upper pond, I spy a Great Egret fishing and preening from a small branch just above the green pond waters swollen from all the rains. I quickly take a knee before he sees me.

Before even approaching the pond, I had all ready. My camera settings adjusted appropriately for the lens and overcast skies; my monopod already adjusted to a kneeling position. I could begin firing immediately. 

Several shots, then move closer… and closer… and closer. Quite the cooperative Egret! ​I sat for nearly 20 minutes and took 345 shots. That will take a while to cull and edit!

Waltonpets Furtography Session: Beau

Wednesday, 2:05 PM - Beau was a handsome hound boy that came into the shelter as a stray. He wasn’t too big and had a happy personality. I was surprised that he actually a week without any interest from adopters.

Some weeks are slow, and on other weeks the adoptions happen one-after-another.  Many of the schools went back in session this week with the remainder following the next. Perhaps it was too busy of a time for family’s to adoption-shop? But Beau finally got his day and would be heading up north to be re-homed! 
​ “Beau” was picked up stray by a Walton County Animal Control officer on August 4, 2017. He had his photoshoot with williamwisephoto on August 9. He was rescued on August 11 by Tina and Joan! His rescue was sponsored with donations from Eileen, Cindy and Lane!

Wednesday, 1:53 PM - Bipsy was about to cross over a majorly busy highway that passes through Walton County when a citizen stopped and lured her into the car. Safe!
​
The Bassadors (Lab/Basset Hound mix) are usually pretty popular dogs. Who can resist a low-rider lab?! The grass wasn’t too deep next to the pond where we did her photo session, but her short legs made her look buried! 
“Bipsy” was brought to the Walton County Animal Control shelter on August 8, 2017 by a citizen that found her running near the highway. Her shelter photo shoot was done on August 9, 2017. She was reunited with her owner August 11, 2017!

Wednesday, 1:46 PM - Rocco was picked up stray running along with a younger pup. Both had collars, and Rocco had on a nice harness. Surely and owner would be calling soon. But amazingly, nobody ever did.
​
Rocco wasn’t interested in being still or posing for any glamour shots, so many of his photos were blurry. I was pressed for time as well and didn’t get as many. So only two halfway decent shots were posted.
​ “Rocco” was picked up stray by a Walton County Animal Control officer on August 4, 2017. He was photographed on August 9, 2017. After an unusually long hold time, he was finally adopted on August 22, 2017.
