    Oshie is beautiful! What a grand image. Evocative..it draws me into the photo. Oshie also reminds me of dogs in my life, both past and present. There is great emotion in this photo, from wonder at the mystery of Nature to just plain joy at being in the company of a wonderful dog. Bless you for giving Oshie a second chance at happiness. Is she the lucky one or are you? I’ve often asked myself the same question in relation to my shelter pups.

    I don’t know if it followed the “big animal” theme but it sure gets my vote as it’s the most beautiful. Gorgeous capture and he has “big dreams” that’s for sure. Amazing light and color. I just love it and it’s going into my faves.
