The other day when I was on Colonial Parkway I saw those bridges and totally wanted some pics of them! But we were in a hurry to get to the outlets to shop :) maybe next time we can stop and smell the rose's and take a couple pics :)
We have to do that to one of our cats too. He gets the lion cut once in the summer and by fall it's all grown back. But he's and indoor cat so we don't have to worry about the sun hurting him, and it helps with less fur balls :)
It may also be you sciatic nerve. I've been having some problems with mine since the beginning of the year. The symptoms you have were just like mine. Some muscle relaxers and rest will help.
I see your from Seattle, have you been to the tulip festival? I'm originally from Spokane, WA and going to the tulip festival was one of my favorite memories with my mom.
I love this pic. My mom once told me that when you get a great picture of an animal and you capture their eyes just right, it's almost like they let you see right into their soul. Whenever I see a pic of an animal I always look at their eyes first :)
