#januarty theme is #pet. This is my pup, Pookie. Photo taken this morning. She’s 9.5 and, sadly, it was discovered 3.5 weeks ago that she has an inoperable/incurable tumor on her heart. She is undergoing chemo and other treatments designed to extend her life. More in alt text. #dog #photography

This year you took the #BlueSkyArtShow from an idea to an institution. Thank you so much to everyone who participates every week. There's more info in the comments. Most heart warming to me is how many people don't just post and run but stay and like others' work. 💙

My friend had a birthday this week, and as she is an author, I made miniature versions of her books. Then I just had to make tiny paper bags and add in our local newspaper for the full mini "Barnes & Noble" type experience.... #miniatures
