Hi Sis! What fun to see this new post. Talk about one of a kind! You have such a fun imagination!!! Okay now I am turning MY imagination on.

I see a doggy slipping out of the bathroom door because he knows he's about to get a bubble bath! HA!

Love it lots and so happy to see you.

LOL Melinda, this is the first time I have taken the dogs fur, Bob gave me the idea when he mentioned the macro lens.

Little sis Laura dear, thankyou so very much LOL. Doesn't it look like a dog about to have a bubble bath.

Glad you thought it was funny, I just took it this afternoon, Graham thought I was looking for a flea with the camera up so close!

Such a terrific result you got here -- love the simple palette, the hairs sweeping into the white, and the repetition of the bubbles. #9705309
