I ♥ Faces - "Sports in Action" and "Pets" week

This week's theme of I ♥ Faces photography contest is "Sports in Action" and "Pets." I am submitting one for each category.

My sports in action picture is of our kid's team's soccer coach (aka Da Hubby) revving up our very cute and reluctant goalie for the oncoming ball. I shot this at dusk (my favorite part of the day to shoot!) and really like the warm rich tones of that time of evening.

My Pets entry is of my Mom's rotty, "Gracie." I loved the contrast of mom's pallazo floors with her big, sweet eyes. She's one great, big baby girl. We ♥ her, too.


Head over to the action at I ♥ Faces for all the furry and sporty fun and enter your own best shot!

Bubbles

I'm not talking about the popping kind, but the kind that curled up in my lap and left half of her coat on my pants when she got up. The kind that always met us at the door when we got home with a wagging tail and a gaping, panting mouth that I swear was always curled up into a smile. The kind that was my first "Baby" and that I brought home on a snowy January evening in our first year of marriage. The kind that howled like a hound dog when strangers walked up the driveway and licked them to death when they left. The kind that I will forever miss and cherish every moment I had with.. We miss you, Bubbles...
