I love Spring when the tulips and daffadils are topping and the cherry blossoms are in bloom. I planned to take my dog to this location in order to get some pictures. Unfortunately, my week became filled with other things that needed to get done. This is a composite with Rita, one of the rescue dogs. I placed her into an image I took a couple years ago at this spot. I liked the formalness of the fountain with the playfulness of Rita. I am still learning composites, so forgive the imperfections.
Working as a pet photographer as well as volunteering in a rescue, I have been blessed with getting to know a number of senior dogs. While I lost my Midnight at a young age, I was very fortunate to have Shamus with me for many years. Shamus was my clown, but boy did he know how to live! His wisdom grew as the years pressed on. I learned that each day spent with my senior dog was a lesson on the importance of living in the present, cherishing our bond and embracing our everlasting friendship.
