I trust Henk will not mind me borrowing one of his images ...

Sadly, our friend Joop will soon be taking his final trip. I feel as if I am losing one of my own dogs. I have never met Joop in person, but I know him well. Damn cancer. First Ben, now Joop. So many others, as well.

Thank you, Henk, for sharing your special dog with us all. Your beatiful images have brought him to life for us from half a world away.
