Project 365 d-106

     My really dear friend lost her dog Jake today. He was a very important part of her family and she is hurting over her loss. The only thing I could think to do to honor him was try and photograph my dog in a positive way. Jessi is my lab mix that still acts like a puppy even though she is twelve. We got her from the pound and saved her from Parvo. Tonight she was just sitting in the grass near my home soaking up the late afternoon sun. My camera was at my side as usual and I began to photograph her in this relaxed pose. In some ways this image looks a bit like a painting and it's a good still life capturing her unique beauty. Some day we will be with out her, but I will have this image plus many wonderful memories to look back on.

Happy Shooting.
