girl walking a dog...

...or dog walking a girl

as it appeared to me...

i gazed upon them - the girl lost in thought... looking rather melancholy actually - the dog... pulling on its leash - yearning to explore the grasses... wanting to smell... to run... seeming to be a bit impatient with its mistress'es sauntering behavior...

i don't usually cater to scenes such as this... i tend towards nature shots - flowers, birds, animals and the like... although i feel out of my comfort zone posting this picture - as if it isn't good enough - won't measure up - might be criticized... all silly thoughts, i recognize this, i guess - still, i was compelled by what i was seeing... when i just happened to glance across the field and noticed the dog first - yanking on the leash... then the girl... knowing this would be my shot - even though i took others... kept coming back to this one. does that happen to you? you know... but get distracted with others thinking "no, not that one..." but get pulled back and know it must be so regardless of what you might think others might think - it doesn't matter - does that make sense? it amazes me i continue to struggle with these things... i long for acceptance with my photographic efforts - want people to like and enjoy what i post... to see what i see - understand its significance - knowing it'll make for...

a

happy day.....
