Adventures with Darby: Smelling like the Scenery

There is something peculiar and innate with Darby that compels here to roll around in strange foreign substances in an attempt to acquires their foul stenches. And as much as I want to curb this behavior, few activities seem to bring her greater joy than knowing she now stinks as badly as whatever that was that she found.

After developing a roll of film from my then-newly-acquired Fuji GS645S (read about it, here), I came upon a couple of additional photographs from our beach vacation to Destin, Florida, this summer. This is the second of two.
