My Expressive Jack Russell: Skippy Lim, Auckland, New Zealand (pet, dog, home, pictures, lifestyle)

July 18th, 2009-- On a lazy afternoon, during mid winter, Skippy was bored sitting at the staircase waiting for some event to take place.

That was a hard to come moment to take a few quick shot of him! Luckily I have my digital SLR camera handy and took some pictures of him

Took all these pictures with my mate's Blackberry 8310 PDA. The outcome of the shots were not bad eventhought his 8310 is only 2 Meg Pixel and do not have auto focus compared to Nokia N95 8GB's 5 Meg Pixel! The color of the digital picture is very natural and vivid too. I found that this is the perfect way to take picture for blogging!

The extraordinary bubble eye wears marble-size, fluid-filled eye sacs like water wings. The breed is only one in a gallery of bizarre variations of the common goldfish. Developed over ten centuries by Asian breeders, this living art of the East today attracts growing numbers of Western aquarists.
