I heart "pets" and "sports" faces...

This week's I heart faces challenge has two categories - pets and sports. I can never resist a shot of our pesky horse Joker.... who is so friendly, the only shots you can ever get of him are the up close and personal kind.

And it was by sheer luck that I caught this great shot of my 15 year old son last week as they were playing some water sports - with this particular challenge being the water balloon toss.

I like the sports in action picture... leaves you wondering did he catch it? Looks like all that's left in his hands is water!! Perfect lunge though!

Wow, what a beautiful animal! And he's your PET? Lucky you! Love his gentle, soulful eyes.
