Vicki L. Filippin March 08, 2009

Thanks SO much for your visits and kind words, Michelle, Sherry & Christine. This is my niece, Rachel, and her dog, Nala. I took this last night at a going away to the Marines party at their house. I've been trying to capture an image of Nala for quite some time, now, but it never seemed to work out until now. Rachel is THRILLED with it.

um...14.5 days, Sherry! I can't wait to see you guys again! #7259481

Nikki McDonald March 10, 2009

This is a lovely moment well captured. The lighting is just right, Vicki, and I can see why your niece is pleased with the result. #7266416

Vicki L. Filippin March 10, 2009

Thanks SO much, Melinda! Nala broke the same leg 3 times since Rachel got her, so it has been extremely difficult to get a natural looking shot of her. Her cast has been off for about 2 months now and is rough-housing with the 2 pit-bulls, so I think she's gonna be fine now. When this pic came up at upload, I was like...WOW..this is SUCH a typical and beautiful shot of these two! #7266418

Vicki L. Filippin March 10, 2009

Thanks, again, Nikki! We must have been posting at the same time! #7266423
