I came across this sweet girl back in October on a walk through a nearby neighborhood. She wasn’t chained, thank goodness, but she’s definitely had many litters of puppies. She was gentle and kind, and had free roam of her neighborhood streets. I left wishing I could see her mothering at work, as I knew she had to be a great one.

Within Walking Distance is a series which will highlight what I come across as I venture out into God’s creation. The series challenges me to find inspiration close by, as travel is not always possible. More importantly, through my photography I will become a  witness to His splendor as well as to what we’ve done with it. These photos will represent the environment that God has placed me in – reality rather than grandeur – but instead of illustrating the mundane, I intend to make plain the Creator.
