I ♥ Faces "Pet Week" Photo Challenge...

It was an easy pick for this week's "Pet Week" photo challenge on I ♥ Faces!  This is a photo I took of my sweet little Australian Shepherd "Ozzy" on one of our outings.  He loves to ride in the car and go on adventures.  I love this picture of him...looks like he has a huge smile on his face.  I named this photo "Objects in mirror ARE closer than they appear" ~ lol.  I hope Ozzy's cheerful little spirit makes you smile today:

This is one of my favorite photos.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  Check out the "I ♥ faces" website for all the entries. They are awesome!

♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

"Sun Flare" - this weeks challenge on "I ♥ faces"

I knew which photo I was going to enter for this week's "Sun Flare" photo challenge on I ♥ Faces!  This is a photo I took of my beautiful friend, Perry.  She was nine months pregnant at the time with little Eli.  And yesterday was her birthday, so when I saw the challenge it was an easy pick for me, since I was thinking about her already.  I love this photo ~
