Lotto isn't feeeling very well

Four days at the seaside and Lotto is exhausted. So, she's taking it easy today. I don't think she's quite as sad as she looks - well I hope not. She's 14 but still runs on the beach and even went swimming on Saturday.
Also using this photo for my get-pushed challenge from Heather. She challenged me to take a photo that showed the essence of my home. For 35 years there has always been one or two black Labradors - essence in bucket loads.

Oh, she does look sad... Sounds like she's having a good week though.

[Jocasta]

@smevvy for my challenge - so many things, people, animals are the essence.

[Avantika]

Poor thing...hope she feels happier tomorrow. It's a lovely capture.

[Heather]

[Hope D Jennings]

[Linda]

Aah, he does look rather sad and tired, but on the bright side - comfy! LB I am guessing? You sure do the LB stuff well.

[Catherine Pace]

Such a beautiful shot, love the tones and her expression. Hope she recovers from all the excitement very soon

[Gwenllian]

Lovely gentle picture. Your home must be secure, warm, comforting and friendly!

[Richard Sayer]

Oh, but she's lovely Jocasta... and this is such a nice shot.

[Marloes]

Oh, no... she thinks. Don't you know I love you? ....

I'm not a dog person really, more a human person but... I love my Saartje in the end :)

[Rachel Withey]

Beautiful emotional portrait. I am glad she is not as sad as she looks. Lighting in this pic is really great.

[Cazla]

I love this, the eyes say so much, and the lighting and the Dof really works. She looks a lot like one of our old labs...Fav

[Sean O'Neill]

Doleful, beautiful photo. Fav, it definitely is an "essence" shot. We are up your way on friday and saturday for the National. I was thinking of heading to New Brighton to photograph the lighthouse. What do you think? Worth going? Anywhere else you would recommend?

[Jocasta]

@seanoneill Andrew (husband) is also off to the National with big group but I'm going south. Never photographed the lighthouse so can't say - Liverpool One and Tate Liverpool area quite interesting. Media City/Salford Quays good for photos - I was there, yesterday. Hope you have a great weekend.

Hello, I am your Get Pushed partner for the week. I am challenging you to photograph something that captures emotion.
