August 2010 photo challenge - Pets and (interesting) backgrounds
 

So what's the challenge for this month? How about interesting backdrops for photos? Draped sheets, in tubs, beautiful scenery, etc? Or being loved by their favourite person? :shrug:

I like the interesting background idea.:D

What about "pairs"? Chico2's pics of ying & yang :thumbs up (aka Vinnie & Chico) got me thinking. Or "opposites"?
Maybe "ying & yang" would work... interpret as you like, could be dogs and cats, flowers and weeds, hot and cold, etc...

I like that too. I have lots of pairs. :D Are you gonna "borrow" another pup for a pair otter? :p

Ok, August is now here. Who is going to be the deciding vote? I have to head to work so someone make a decision. :D I'm too tired today. :o

Ok then - I'll cast the deciding vote :)
seems we have 2 for backgrounds and 2 for pairs....but since many members like me have no pairs...I vote for backgrounds :D

Merging suggestion posts now.

ok Members - suggestion posts merged and the goal this month should be to photograph pets against an interesting background.

Some ideas from 14+ include; Draped sheets, in tubs, beautiful scenery, etc. Or being loved by their favourite person.....and there are many other creative possibilities if we put our thinking caps on... :)

Ok then - who will post first?

Does this count? Cole himself as the interesting background... :D

Love how Cole's collar matches the jacket! :thumbs up

Ziggy "found" the garden yesterday and stayed there for almost an hour :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Here's my mums' cat KitKat who nearly blends [I]into[/I] the background :laughing:

I love those pics!!!! :cloud9: Thanks for choosing my theme Marko! :thumbs up

Great photos! Kitkat is a beautiful girl! Ziggy looks like he's up to no good. :laughing: And Cole seems to be on a mission!

This is Shadow and Halo when they were in Beirut. Well fine, that's what we called the backyard when it was under "renovation".

Not sure I got this right but ... here's some camouflage pictures :p

1. Jack with doggies in the background :dog:
2. A friend , outside with Churchill :) (I was inside and when I saw them outside , thought it looked very nostalgic)

Any excuse to see everyone's furkids is getting it right :thumbs up

Thanks goodness Kitkat has green eyes or would disappear

Frenchy, love the "doggie background" lol

I love all the pics. I agree any excuse for pet pics. Frenchy I love the black and white nostalgia pic.

I know it says 3GirlsDad but this is my new boy Porter.

Interesting back drops-humph? :confused:

Can the animal be the back drop? :D

Ok Rick, you win!!!! :thumbs up Beautiful as always!!!
This theme doesn't seem to be doing very well. I didn't think it would be that difficult to find pics. :shrug: But then again, maybe so.

I know! That's what I said. I guess it's a hard challenge. :shrug: Half way through August and still on page one. :(
My good camera was in the shop until Saturday. I am going to see if I can get some interesting shots later today. Just have to find some willing participants in this heat! :yuck: I'll come up with something. :fingerscr

yes, maybe it's the heat and the humidity and the rain :(
yes, we need better weather that's what it is....:D

A good friend of mine and her daughter (both big cat lovers) made this bed for Aztec:

Don't know how interesting these backgrounds are and these were shot on an Iphone, but here goes:
Shot 1 - Zig at the park
Shot 2 - Back seat dogs
