Lola

Posted by Sugata (Newark, United States) on 1 November 2009 in Animal & Insect.

I can't say I wasn't a little scared when the large dog bounded across the park towards me, unheeding to repeated shouts of "Lola!" from her owner. But since I couldn't have outrun her anyway if she had indeed attacked, I decided to point my camera towards her and shoot. This is the result I got.

She didn't attack me. After reaching me she kept nudging me and barking, and even allowed me to pat her on the head, albeit very suspiciously.

Thanks a lot to everyone who commented on my photos, or even stopped by for a visit. The comments have been pouring in pretty fast (there are over 1500 already!) and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to reply to each individually. I'd rather spend that time in viewing others' photos and commenting there. But I do read each comment individually, and if you ask me something specific, I'll answer that.

I am new to the photoblogging world. Still, I thought I would enter for the 2009 Photoblog Awards. Please vote for me if you think I deserve a vote and registering isn't too much of a trouble.
