On Guard Duty

Uploaded: August 01, 2013

Description

***
I was photo hunting past beautiful homes in an area called Floral Park, when I heard extremely loud barking, and turned to see these two. Their barking got even louder as I moved closer for some hurried shots. Then I left the pair to save their voices for the next "intruder".

While I prefer other types of dogs for a pet and friend, these gorgeous looking poodles make me admire them. I have been around poodles and enjoy their intelligence. These show dogs have a beautiful cut to them and I love that one is white and the other brown. Even tough in a hurry and getting the shots off quickly, you got gorgeous colors, love the behind the gate look, and perfect clarity dear friend.
Have yourself a most wonderful day and take care. #10793273

Ujjwal, the barking turned to growling the closer I got...so, regardless of their intent, I was outta there!
