~A Birthday Pup~

Description

Today is this sweet little puppy's 1st birthday. Hard to believe Freckles is a year old already. She sure has been a lot of fun. What a sweet personality she has to go with her good looks.

This was taken last week as we were walking around the neighbor's ranch. Those are two of his horses in the background. Just thought it gave a good representation of life for Freckles.

Added a touch of the flashback filter and some other minor tweaking. Special thanks to Darren for previewing and helping me work some of the "kinks" out of the image.

Category: Animals

Although joy would work too since she brings so much joy into my life.

This is such a compelling image. It makes me want to hug him! His color against the snow is absolutely gorgeous. I'm partial to merles and this dog is one of the prettiest I've seen. The light on him and the day is soul-warming! #3094109

Another I missed (must have been during my "hiatus"...lol. Again, very strong image...I really love this one-the composition with the horses in the background and Freckles in the front is fantastic. It is telling too...of your love of animals.
