I was on a business trip for the last few days and was so happy to come home to see this little fella. This picture is one of the first ones I took with my new camera late last year… happy Saturday from Shadow!

I can’t believe it’s already Saturday again – the days seem to be flying by lately! This morning Mike and I decided to finally finish the Lord of the Rings trilogy… my parents own it and let us borrow their copy. Did you know that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is FOUR HOURS AND TEN MINUTES long? Apparently my parents bought the extended version, because why watch only nine hours when you can have eleven? Holy cow. That said, it was a great trilogy, just very time consuming. Shadow wanted nothing to do with it, so he spent the morning playing outside. Now he’s tired and lounging around:
This is actually one of my favorites of Shadow. Those of you with labs know it’s almost impossible to get a good picture of them. Shadow will pose and then the minute the camera goes “click” he’s on the move and I have a blurry shot. This was taken after a long day of playing in the yard and working on the patio with Daddy. He was so tired that he didn’t bother to protest being photographed. I love that little grey chin!
I’ve decided to start a new segment on my blog called “Saturdays with Shadow”. Every Saturday I’m going to post a picture or funny story from the week about him. Since I now have the camera and Photoshop, expect to see more pictures… I’m having so much fun playing with both of them!
This picture is from the first day I had my camera… Shadow was in his pen and I took a zillion pictures. I was playing in Photoshop this morning and was able to crop and add some effects. I still have a lot to learn, but I like the result!
