I took Frieda out to sit with me behind the Studio Barn, and I was also going to do a photo still life of one of Maria’s many little flower-filled jars. This one was very simple and very beautiful. Frieda loves to sit with me, as I take photos, as does Lenore (the border collies aren’t into sitting around so much). She got into the spirit of the thing. Frieda can be mellow as well as regal.
