Thankyou for popping in Sherran!! We have Faye for 16 days of Christmas... then we have to bring her back to school Jan.5th/09. We won't see her again until Graduation in May... this is when we of-course meet the person that gets Faye's help until Faye retires. #6950922JAMIE BEILER January 11, 2009
This shot made me melt....what a cutie!!Christine Lobsinger January 12, 2009
Thank you very much Jamie, I appreciate you saying so... hey, what clubs are you in??JAMIE BEILER January 13, 2009
I'm in the FFFP club for now, Friends for Finer Photography. Thats about the only one I'm able to keep up with, with limited time. I really enjoy that club. They are boldly honest(not a lot of sugar coating),but respectful... but that's how one can improve. Hope to see you on there. I can also send you the think, if you need. If you jump on there, just introduce yourself. #7024194Christine Lobsinger January 13, 2009
Thanks for telling me Jamie... I will check your club out when I can... I'm in four clubs (Amateur, Photo Forum, Diss. R Us, and Comedy Relief Clubs)... they keep me quite busy.Dawn M. Schneider February 12, 2009

Thank you again Dawn for your wonderful words... thank you for looking into my gallery too...Jean Lechleiter February 12, 2009
A well deserved EP for you and for Faye! #7158344Christine Lobsinger February 12, 2009
Thanks Jean...Dianna Murphy February 15, 2009
Wonderful portrait. Love the comp. #7169365Christine Lobsinger February 15, 2009
Thank you very much Dianna M... I appreciate you saying so!Mary A. Legler February 20, 2009
Amazing. This one melts my heart. Checked out your gallery. It was a complete pleasure wandering around in there! #7189211Christine Lobsinger February 20, 2009
Thank you again, Mary. Hey, did you notice that I did not know how to crop- fix the bottom of this image before I entered it into BP's animal category?Mary A. Legler February 21, 2009
Actually I did not notice the crop issue, so I looked again. Now I see why I didn't notice. Seeing Faye's legs on the grass, completes the calm, peaceful feeling in her face. It goes from a 'portrait', to a 'moment'. I understand its customary to crop, but I loved it just this way. #7190520Christine Lobsinger February 21, 2009
