A Man & His Dog, ISO 200, 70mm, f4.5, 1/1000

This was really an unplanned session. It was one of those perfect days and I had noticed how nicely the sun was reflecting off the flowers in the front garden. I grabbed my camera and 70-300mm lens and headed outside. That was my only plan.

After snapping a few flower pictures, I looked over and saw my husband (who really is still a boy inside) sitting on the ground playing with his dog. I’m sure that everyone will agree that there really is something about the bond between a boy (or man) and his dog. When I saw it, I just had to try to capture it. I sat down on the ground some feet away in order to be on a more personal level.

She’s an old gal of 11 1/2 years. She’s getting rather white in the face these days and has trouble getting around sometimes. She doesn’t tolerate the heat very well anymore but she’s still a beauty in his eyes.

And of course, the Black Dog himself had to make a rare guest appearance from his spot in the shade.
