End of January

A few random shots from this month that I didn’t post already…

Let the sleeping dogs lie

The leader of the pack. The whole herd was waiting to see if they were safe. I think they thought I was a hunter and didn’t want to come too close. Once the big guy made it, they all started moving past me.

Vivi learned to make a new face last week. It’s much funnier that this shot captures, I’ll try to get a better one.

Dog sledding

The dog sled race started right in front of the tavern so we went down there to have a look. Darkness isn’t good for action photography but I snapped a couple shots anyways.

Vivi and Janie were overdressed I think; it wasn’t that cold (probably 20 or so).

No Pink

We’ve had some amazing pink sunsets for the last two nights but I wasn’t able to get out and photograph them. So tonight I was hoping for the pink again.  I went out and got all set up (just down the street) and stood there in the snow waiting for the color to happen. It didn’t. Still, it wasn’t a bad place to watch the sun set.

More Practice

A nice, sharp, well-exposed full frame shot. Not particularly interesting, but it’s great for practice.

A little less sharp but acceptable, well exposed full frame shot. Those little duckers are fast.

Pretty good too, with a more interesting background:

Anyone sick of swans yet? I will be soon. I’m ready for lions and tigers and bears (and hopefully owls)!
