205/365 Oh, to be a dog

He looks stressed, doesn't he? Anxious. Unable to relax. Worried. On edge.

Ah, at times like this, wouldn't it be nice to be a dog?

To spend your afternoon following the sunlight as it streams in through the south windows, bathing in its warm glow.

Dreaming of... peanut butter? Frozen broccoli? Laying near Mom's feet as she works? Chasing after a bold squirrel in the backyard?

Regardless of what was on his mind, I think Buster has the right idea for how we should all spend our Sunday afternoons.

I couldn't resist trying to capture him in his state of utter relaxation. I love how the sunlight is like a spotlight, framing him against the sharp contrast of shadow.

Camera: Canon 40D, 1/125s, f/11 at ISO 100 in sunlight at about 3:00 p.m.
