Abby Sunshine

Were you thinking Superman?

How does it feel to see Abby in this black and white photo? Yes, it has some artistic flare, but really, what’s missing? It seems a part of little Abby is the vivid color of her fur. Look at the black and white photo. Try to pretend that her fur is a different color than [...]

There are days when Abby is a sprinting machine. This is one of those days. She ran by me so fast, I only captured one of her legs in the picture. She would run out into the yard, make an abrupt turn, and come right back at me. Look at her go! This time I [...]
