Description
I've been hugging this leopard beanie baby a lot the past couple of weeks. My mom is sick and I need to go to New York this week to visit her in the hospital. I'll be there for the whole week. This leopard has served me well as stress relief for a couple of years now and it looks like he'll be in for a heavy work load for the weeks to come. Do you think many people will stare if I travel with him sticking of my bag for an emergency caress?
********
My un-named companion was photographed with the Lensbaby and a nearby lamp provided the light.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and I look forward to seeing all your images again when I return next week. Even when I can't find to comment, they always put a smile on my face!

The tone is so warm, and I am sure will help you through a difficult time. Wish your mom streight a fast recovering.
beautiful closeup and colors, i hope your mom gets to feeling better soon.
I want one like that! Really cute and well done close up :)
That is a beautiful picture, outstanding heart and touch. Go ahead and let them stare. My wife has a beanie horse named Hercules that rides facing out the top of her backpack at college. Your leopard brings you comfort, so don't let anyone take that away from you. Prayers for your mom and all those suffering alongside her in your family.
Dorothy, I love this. The focus is perfect and the softening shares its comfort. I don't have anything to say that will make you feel better. I just hope you will be back soon and that this trip will be made for the best of reasons.
Great shot my friend.
Absolutely, you take him with you! If people think you're weird ... so what? If they ask, just tell them you're an artist. They'll wander off and leave you alone. (Trust me on this one! LOL!) Have a safe trip, and take good care. I hope your Mom improves steadily.
So sorry to hear this and I hope for the very best for you and your Mom. You really presented this image well... I'd take him along...
Oh so cute... wonderfull POV Dorothy!
What a great photo of your charming little friend. I think he should go with :) Have a safe trip!
I think he looks as though he needs you as much as you need him!
So sorry to hear about your mom, Dorothy. Of course you take him with you. If anybody stares, screw 'em.
Great mood and lighting and yes, they may stare and so what? Good luck with your safe travel and good luck to your mom too.
Oh so cute...
So lovely and sweet. Wish your mum gets better very soon ;O)
