Location
This photo was taken next to a patch of woods that grows beside the creek that runs behind my house. I live in a small town in Ohio and Mickey was a rescue dog. We got him because my oldest daughter had just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was dealing with a sense of loss and depression. We were driving home from an appointment with the specialist when she turned to me and said, "Mom, I think I need a dog." The next day we went to the shelter and looked at dogs. They were all jumping and barking except this one boy who just sat there and followed her around the room with his eyes. She was looking at another dog but after we took that one out to play in the yard and see how she acted it just didn't feel right. "That's when I noticed the one quiet dog. He has a black patch on his back that looks exactly like a Mickey Mouse head.Time

I was inspired by the contrast he made as well as the beautiful scattering of leaves.Editing
I don't think I did much other than tweak the clarity.In my camera bag
