I have a lot of favorite pictures, but this one is unusual. Bell [long gone] is pointing with a bird already in her mouth. We did get the pointed bird, too. This happened twice with another dog, but sadly no photos.  Bell looks a lot like my DD in that pic, what breed was she? CHAZ

Chaz, Belle was registered as a German Wirehaired Pointer. About 80 pounds before season, and 70 pounds at the end. Sire out of Wisc. and dam out of Briar [something] in S.C. as I remember. All dogs are different. Belle was always a "me first" dog, and would take birds out of other dog's mouths. Oddly enough there was never a fight. Don't know how she did it.

Alan, I was going to ask if your bird pictures were in Alaska. Tundra in fall looks familiar. Then I saw your moose. What was the horn spread ?

My favorite picture is often the most recent. This is from Monday of this week. The gun is a pre-war French guild 16 ga, barrelled by Jean Breuil, taken as a trophy from a Normandy farm by a GI in the summer of '44. It's my first bird and first shot at game with this gun. According to the seller, the now-late GI's son, this gun hadn't been fired since 1959 though it did receive both pride of place in the gun cabinet and a lot of loving care. 
fiery, dependable, occasionally transcendent
