I was going to have Brunch with some friends in Auburn and decided to get up very early and make it out there to see the sunrise. As I drove, the clouds that surrounded me gave me a clue that the sunrise was not going to be extraordinary, but as I reached Hoopes Park, I realized that the blue cast of the clouds provided a lovely picture opportunity. The lights of the gazebo and the fountain provided my main subject matter.
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.
