Who ever said that dogs are a man's best friend never saw Clara with her puppy dog.
Today was a wretched weather day (rainy and miserable), I was exhausted after an early morning wake up and my run in the rain. I needed a second cup of coffee in the morning, which is not my routine. No photos for me, too grumpy and tired, so I will use this precious one from last week.
I did finally join a photography club this evening, one that I had tried out last year. I almost didn't go, but forced myself to last minute. Two other local ladies from 365 were there. So glad that I went. It helped my sour mood.
You have to really love a photo club to want to go and I'm sure I would find other people a bit different to my way of thinking - so I haven't gone. The dog just loves Clara!
@archaeofrog Wish you could join this one then there could be 4 365 ladies!! It was good. That later half was boring and editing related so I left. I didn't feel like the lesson, though it probably would have been helpful.
@soboy5 Thank you, Danny! Appreciate that. It was pretty good. I enjoyed hearing critiques of the photos. Good pointers learned. I never have taken a class, so it was like a mini one for me:)!
Oh my goodness this is so very sweet :) What a precious lady your Clara :) And good for you for joining the Photography club :) Glad it helped your mood and I'm sure it will inspire you as well :)
Nothing more touching than a little girl and her dog. We have countless photos of our daughter, Brooke, and now her daughter, Annie, in this same situation. Touching, always. About the photography club . . we have a couple here but I've always been a little resistant to trying it out. Not sure why . . . confidence or lack thereof probably. So you liked it? Hope today is a better one.
@anazad511 Thanks, Ana. I think that the winter grayness is getting to me. It's a long season that I am not accustomed to. I could do the cold with sunshine and blue skies, but the gray and rain is killing me. Hope that you can find a club to join.
@kbalychev Thanks so much, friend. They were critiquing the photos pretty hard, too. Hope that I can have thick skin and it helps me to improve. Loved the pointers I gained last night.
@jewelsandbinoculars We waited many years to do it. Finally did when my oldest was 7 and youngest was 3. I couldn't handle diapers, baby stuff and taking care of a dog and their messes, too. It has been a very good thing for our family. We moved across the country last year and the kids don't/didn't have a ton of friends last summer. Getting a new puppy MADE the summer for them!:) Hope that you get one some day. So fun for the kids, not as much for the mama.
@barbsmith I did like it, Barb. I visited first a few months back. I am definitely the youth of the bunch...many retirees in the group. And they do tend to give open and honest critique of the photos which I am not really used to. I hope that I am good enough and not shattered if my photo is ripped apart. Try one out. Hope, too, that I learn a bunch. Thanks for your comments!
@rockinrobyn Thanks, sweet lady! It is so great for them and I like having Hope around sometimes when I need a good cuddle, too:)!
@bristolrose Thanks, lady. I hope that I like it and learn a bunch!
@malc Thank you, Malc. I am officially over gloomy days. Come back, sunshine...show yourself!
@blestmom4 Oh they are sweet. Ours is a mix and she is a good small size. Only 40 lbs which is perfect for us. Thanks, Aly!
@emrob It was fun to see them. One I met over 365 and she invited me to the club. The other, I invited this time. We had a Cincy meet up in January and most of us met then. You should try a meet up in your area. It was great!
@still_beachradish Thanks, lady. Having the pup has been wonderful for our family. The kids adore her!
@soboy5 Thank you, Danny! Appreciate that. It was pretty good. I enjoyed hearing critiques of the photos. Good pointers learned. I never have taken a class, so it was like a mini one for me:)!
Your photo club experience sounds fun too - especially finding some other 365ers :)

@masosy Thanks so much, my friend!
@copperheadglass Mine is a town or so away about a 20 minute drive. Hope that you can find one. Thanks, Meredith!
@lfrans Thanks, lady. I am definitely the youth in the club. It's an older crowd mostly. Hope that it is fun and helpful, though!
@kwind Today was better. Thanks, friend!
@tonydebont Aw, thanks, Tony!
@alia_801 It was great. Thanks, Alia!!
@paul2782 Thanks, Paul!
@steampowered Thanks so much, Paul! It was a sunny day. I miss those...no sun all week!
@brav Thanks, Richard!
