Border Collies in the Bluebonnets

Friday, May 08, 2020 | By: Tracy Allard

We caught a bit of luck here in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex in that our state flower and perennial favorite for dog and family portraits alike, the bluebonnet, bloomed for about a week just before everything was shut down due to the corona virus and we were all surfing our couches. I managed to squeeze in a few sessions during that week, these fantastic border collies among them. I'd like you to meet (L to R, clockwise) Oliver North (aka "Ollie"), Miss America (aka "Meri"), Felicity (aka "Filly") and Ricochet (aka "Rikki"). 

Paws Up Everyone!

That's the cue and these border collies nailed it. The fence provided a great leading line in the images to make them more dynamic and lead the viewer's eye through the image, to the trees in the back, across the horizon line and then back to the dog.  

The subject of leading lines brings me to the 52 Week Pet Photography Project because it's this week's theme. I decided to give own dog models a break this week and just go back about a month into the archives for this post. 

All Aboard!

The sun was setting and the light was changing fast but we had one more idea for a photo and were able to pull it off just in time! I'm calling this one "All aboard". 

Now on to Pawparazzi Pet and Animal Photography presented by Shae Pepper Photography to see where she leads us (see what I did there?) and then continue clicking on the link at the bottom of each post for an around the world tour of leading lines in fabulous pet photography.
