I met this wonderful trio when I was getting ready to leave the rest area where I spent last night. Sommer here has been traveling the rails and hitchhiking around the United States for the last year. She's also an artist. Her cat named Lou, and dog named Bemis, are just delightful and are wonderful friends with each other. While the first image is good in a conventional way, I prefer aspects of second image: the light on her face, the openness and optimism of her expression, the close in cropping. Alas, the animals aren't looking at the camera! @macawbre @macawbre_arts #francissmith #aban #columbia #americabyanothername #ridingtherails (at Gee Creek Rest Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXVocgFDkP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2372me7g2v8i
