She's almost invisible

WHERE IS SHE?

Every time I can't find Lady in the little-dog side at the dog park, I eventually find her behind this skinny tree. It doesn't provide much concealment, but Lady's colors (brown and white) blend well with the tree's bark.

I wish she wouldn't hang around there, but, for some reason, she loves that spot (maybe it's the shade).

Maybe she's playing with me. I hate to admit it, but I feel a moment of panic every time she goes there.

Actually, she also does that on the big-dog side, sometimes hiding behind the water fountain, other times staying behind the big tree on the far end of the park.

She's just making it hard on me.
