Rarely seen: Black-and-white shots of Speck

Ok, they were grayscaled from color via Photoshop, but I still like the effect, just for variety. Both come from our recent Poconos expedition, at just short of 28 months of age. Speck enjoyed the lake here, which had such a shallow wading area that she could walk out pretty far without getting too deep...


I like the rustic backdrop here.


Playing with a bucket and shovel...

(In case it's just too traumatic for you, color versions are here and here. Don't worry, color will be back soon!)
