30 Nov 2009 by LeeNee

When it comes to Kenzie, she rarely experiences a moment where she is anything other than a beautiful girl. Even when her feathery fur is snagged with sticks and dried leaves, she looks rather fetching. Regal, even…

But if you were to look deeply into her chocolate eyes… you’d see the back of her skull.

I love the play of shadows across his face in this shot and the way the Nylabone holds onto the light.

I can no longer ride my high horse

27 Nov 2009 by LeeNee

After years of complaining about how the Corporate Machine of American Consumerism had forced this country into some sort of slaughterhouse chute on the day after Thanksgiving….

well…

I can no longer complain about Black Friday.

‘Cause I went out into the fray early this morning and got two smokin’ hot deals.
