This week’s photo challenge. There are all kinds of kisses . . .
There are the kisses of young love . . .
There are the kisses of a love that has stood the test of time . . .
Kitty kisses are tentative and filled with whisker tickles . . .
Dog-to-dog kisses are often misconstrued by stupid humans . . .
Doggie to human kisses can be a bit messy . . .
You got flowers!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Maya nibbles . . .
I really liked this shot as it came out of the camera. However, in post production I utilized a technique with Gaussian blur and layered erasures of the blur to expose Maya and pop the catch-light in her eye.
A very shallow depth of field photo of Maya tonight (shot under lamplight at f/1.8, 1/250s, ISO 1600). It was a very busy day at work, and this evening we had a late dinner out with family. I came home to do some laundry and pack for my trip to L.A. tomorrow afternoon so I can spend a few days with my dad, who is recovering from another surgery. I’m waiting for the load to finish drying and then I’ll be stumbling off to bed.
On this Thanksgiving Day, along with my gratitude for my family, my friends, my critters, and my health, I am grateful for all of you who encourage and inspire me. May your days be filled with love.

Yay, Maya!
While cleaning out Sweetie’s office today I came upon a brand new canvas drop cloth. I thought it might make a good backdrop, so I pinned it to the wall, grabbed the stool and set up some lights.
Maya was quite cooperative.
My turn!
Jezebel would not sit on the stool, so I got down on the floor with her.
One last one of me.
