Losing With Grace

Comment by Melethia:
As much as I love shooting my cats, I didn't play in this thread for kinda the same reason you noted. I love the premature eulogy here - is it original? I'll add that I'm glad you still have Grace with you. I've put down three so far in my adult life - a dog (15) and two cats (15 and 16) - and its nearly impossible to do. The single biggest defect pets have is they just don't live long enough.

I will say that they do visit me on occasion in dreams, which is simply delightful beyond words.

Say hi to Gracie for me.

The Morning Rush

Comment by Melethia:
I quite like this one, but it takes more than one viewing to really appreciate it. The DPC two-second view doesn't cut it. I seem to recall there were discussions that the sky was oversharpened - I disagree.

First impression - when taken with the title, it's somewhere I'd like to live if this is rush hour in the morning. It appears lightly lived in yet deeply settled. No mass rush, a few houses here and there amidst the trees, one tower in the distance. The presentation leads one to think this one on/off ramp/curve is the only one serving this distant community, and that's all it needs.

The one commenter mentioned it's hard to tell if it's sea and sky or just sky - doesn't matter. If one wants to see it as sea and sky, it's there. Also doesn't matter to me that it's evening and not morning. I can't tell the difference without knowing the direction you're facing and the B&W disguises it even more.

It's quietly comfortable. I think that pretty much goes with what Mr 301 said, too.

Canikaze - wind of dog

Comment by Borusa:
Sorry, but to me this is just a picture of a dog that's difficult to see - it's hard to get much in the way of "wind" image here. Cute dog, though.

I'm glad you didn't lose her.
And I like your picture of her.
Almost surreal.
