a new throne for the lady of the lake

mukha suddenly expressed some interest in this innertube. it was in the water by the dock and she kept reaching her little hands out for it but it kept floating away when she touched it. the innertube seems tough, but we didn't know if we wanted her on it (have you seen her talons?) our neighbor just recently gave the innertube to us and it's really comfortable and relaxing, so we don't want her to pop it. she kept gently reaching out for it so we finally decided to hold it still for her so she could get on. she just got on it and sat right in it! it was so funny and of course i thought 'i should get my camera' but i thought she probably wouldn't stay there that long and also the camera i'm using is so automatic and it never takes good pictures in evening light without a flash. i grabbed it anyway and amazingly and totally unexpectedly, it did ok. and she sat in the tube for a long time! so here are some more pictures of her little adventure ;)

    I just randomly came across your photos here, and have to say wow - these are beautiful, something about the composition and the colors, the personality of the dog, and such a cute story to accompany it!

    lol! These photos are great! My boy would be terrified to go on anything that wasn't stable. Muhka impresses me! Plus she looks so darn cute in with a yellow background.

    Those are great! The first one is my favorite – the tube really brings out the color of her eyes.

    Love the whole series of pics! She looks so poised and comfortable, but in the end its " OK, I've had enough, been fun, but now I'm out of here" :D

    How funny! I love that second picture and how her leg is on the side of the tube.

    OMG! these are great! colour and composition is awesome!

    I live the one of her with her arm out, it looks like she waiting for someone to join her, the wide angle one that shows the water!

    GREAT JOB!
