Precious little Virgola, basking in the spring sun, eyes closed, after our walk today. She is my loyal walking partner as she happily and proudly explores and keeps an eye on her territory.

Mary, your photos are exquisite. You truly have an artist's eye for beauty and detail.

I hope Virgola is doing well after last fall's crisis -- she certainly looks well!
