Awesome capture, Erica! Lola embodies the spirit of all young (and young at heart) dogs who would do anything to go for a swim or make a fetch. Nice composition, great colors, and superb capture of the action. Excellent work! #8425386

Saw this in Editor's Picks, Erica -- was it a March resubmission? It would sure be perfect for the April theme. If it doesn't go anywhere in March, I'd pop it right back in! Terrific energy and expression here. #8509283

Erica Murphy April 04, 2010

Thanks so much Nikki!! I was thinking the same thing. #8509440

Nikki McDonald April 18, 2010
