Bunny tells a joke

Many of you dog-blog readers follow Carrie, who writes a daily blog called Tales and Tails about her greyhounds Bunny, Lilac, and Blueberry, and her GSD Morgan. Being still a noob at this blogging stuff I chanced upon her blog early this year, read a few posts, became a follower, and made the rare comment. She reciprocated and started commenting on my photo posts.

Then, she told me that she was going to Greyhounds in Gettysburg (aka GIG) in late March and hoped to meet. That didn't happen but when I told her I was going to Dewey she said she was going, too. I only had two appointments on Saturday (all in the morning) so my afternoon was free and I decided I'd go see my artist friends Beth and Pete at their rental house. I texted Carrie and told her I was on my way to see the Wade's and, if she knew where it was, I'd meet her there.

Carrie and Bunny arrived there shortly after I did, and after introductions and chatting a bit I asked Carrie if she wouldn't mind if I tried taking a few pictures of Bunny while we were standing indoors. I had my 50mm prime lens on and so I decided I'd use a wide aperture to blur the background behind Bunny, and just focus on her striking amber eyes.

 

There was something outside that had Bunny's attention but I had no idea what it could be. Whatever it was, Bunny would not look away:

 

As she continued to stare I moved to her left and positioned her to the right of a wooden greyhound figure that just happened to be behind her. I found that interesting, but what I found even more interesting and appealing was how the light illuminated her profile (much in the same way as the photograph of Turbo I had written about in an earlier post):

 

While that picture (which needs to be cropped still) may be more aesthetically pleasing, the funny pictures are these three of Bunny appearing to tell a joke.

Bunny: "At first, I was, like..."

Bunny: "But then I LOL'd...":

 

Bunny: "OMG...that was too funny...":

Suffice it to say that it was a privilege for me to meet both Carrie and Bunny.
