In this heat Jeff, I think we are all ready for a good cold snack. I love the almost comical look of his expression as his tongue licks at the treat. One can tell from you picture that he sure is enjoying it. Beautifully timed, the colors are lovely and you got the even the smallest hair so sharp. Awesome and fun work my friend.
Have a great weekend. #9442389
