Momma in Focus: black and white

This week's prompt for Momma in Focus is black and white; for once, I actually remembered to do this before it was too late to take advantage of the gorgeous May afternoon yesterday (yes, I still waited until the day before to do it, but still).  My original idea was to somehow figure out a way to set up the shot so that Sammy and I would be silhouetted against the afternoon sun with awesome sun flares all around.  Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out, especially since the only place to actually attempt this was in the main road behind the townhouse so I quickly ran out of patience between wrangling Sammy, the camera and trying to not get hit by a passing car.  So I went with plan b, which was sitting in the grassy area across from the house.  I think it turned out pretty well, although it would have been nice if I had been able to get Sammy to look at the camera.  Eh, close enough.
