I’ve been gone for a few days visiting my oldest daughter.  My younger daughter accompanied me and we enjoyed a bit of a reunion to begin the New Year.  Ginger is a wonderful one-year old bloodhound that we all adore.  This picture of the morning we left, I love.  It’s as if Ginger seems genuinely interested in telling me something.  My daughter lives in the country with acres for Ginger to roam.  That morning she dragged something into the yard and was so proud of her trophy.  We never could figure out what exactly it was!  I will be back in the studio soon but having time with my two daughters gave me a much-needed uplifting boost to start-up a new year of creative art.  And, Ginger, well she always gives us those warm doggie licks and unconditional love!
