Euphoria

Donna was definately happy while playing on a mound of sand at Mosquito Lake back in October.
This is a resub from the November contest that didn't capture the heart of the judges, therefore, I did some monor tweaking to the crop, color, contrast and saturation and will give it another try this month.
Thanks to those of you who sent well wishes pertaining to my back. It's still giving me fits, but will hopefully feel better soon.
catagory: Monthly Theme (Joy) Perhaps they meant holiday joy, but I'll try it anyhow. I never do well in the MTs.

I must have missed something in the holiday kaos - didn't know you hurt your back. I hope you are soon feeling better, as you know - I know the misery of back problems !! :( Beautiful colors in this image Don, & I love how Donna is off the ground - perfect title! #2232188
