Nikki ... Flowers

As many of you know, Nikki is now 19 weeks old. She's seems to be quite big for her age - and she was the runt of the litter! My three cats have not warmed up to this bouncing, joyous pup so, for the time being, ours is a segregated household. She had her first training class last week, so now I just have to keep up with the homework! Soon I hope to introduce her to the ocean. That should be very amusing!

Love this photo. I had discovered other features of my digital camera so had lots of fun taking tons of pictures the other day.

Yes, I enhanced the picture in Photoshop. Besides removing the blue color cast and lightening up the shadows, I also tried some other "tricks" to enhance the flower's beauty.
