This is my first week participating in Black & White Wednesday over at The Long Road to China. I wanted to share another photograph I took of Kitty Paw over the weekend. Like I said in my Weekend Sweetness post, she absolutely loves when the front door is wide open and the sun leaves sunblocks across the floor for her – as if they were little sunning spots perfect for my favorite cat. This black and white illustrates Kitty Paw’s  dramatic nature. My husband would say she’s just like her mother in this sense. For more Black and White Wednesday submissions: By the way,...

This is my first week participating in Best Shot Monday and Sweet Shot Tuesday. Normally, for photo challenges, I prefer to post two separate images…but I’m on my way to Philadelphia for business so my blogging time may be cut short.

I decided that she would be much better off if she was the only child and asked if I could bring her...

I wasn’t going to blog my results on this one tonight, but it turns out I had a few minutes to spare. I don’t have many opportunities to edit doggy portraits, but I am in love with this one – and no, his name is not Rover (it’s Jagger). Lindsey needed some cloning help – I helped her and initially left it at that so she could apply her own editing as part of a set.
