Goodbye to a great friend...

My life has felt a bit like a country song lately. We lost our dog of 12 years last weekend to pancreatic cancer. Alexis was a wonderful companion and one of my favorite subjects. She never told me how to do my job or asked me to retouch her wrinkles.

I am taking some time off over the next two weeks to recharge my batteries and do a little traveling (and shooting) with my family. I will be back with my usual assortment of images and random posts soon. Happy 4th everyone!
