Last weekend, I met up with my friend Jenn and her dog, Jasmine. I’ve known Jasmine for as long as I’ve known Jenn – we met my first year in college. Jenn was a year ahead of me, but we immediately hit it off. We were inseparable…so much so, that I earned a key to her apartment so that I could take care of Jasmine once in a while.

I took a ton of animal photos at the North Carolina State Fair on Saturday and Monday evening. I guess I was trying to make up for the fact that I haven’t been in a couple of years.

Speaking of wins…I almost won last week’s “blue” challenge for Shutterlove Tuesday at the Trendy Treehouse. I’m still honored to have...

…to share a few animal photos. Actually, when I saw that Mandy’s  (a Sorta Fairytale) photo challenge this week was “snoozing,” I could only think of one photo (outside of the one that my husband caught of me and Kitty Paw last night). This summer we visited the North Carolina Zoo. It was HOT! Many of the animals were resting due to the heat, but I went to great lengths to capture the lion taking a snooze. You see, he was laying right up against the wall of his space…so, I had to lean over the wall in order to get this photo. I think another tourist actually...
