Golden New Year

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL way to spend new year's eve, while on holiday in the Lake Chelan area where I discovered the perfect four-legged snow model. While snowshoeing in the beautiful mountains of eastern Washington under crystal clear blue skies and a cool fifteen degrees, Bailey was in retriever heaven bouncing playfully in the pristine pure white snow.

Our paths crossed with Eric and Karen as they cross country skied, with Bailey. I originally saw them taking pictures of each other with their camera. So I walked over to ask if they would like me to get the three of them as a group with their camera. My plan all along was to meet them and ask if I could take a few shots of their beautiful dog. I took about twenty minutes with Bailey, which was time well spent. I could have easily photographed Bailey until the sunset dipped behind the wondrous Echo Ridge mountains which would have been a four hour photo session. There's never enough time … is there?

On Holiday in Chelan Washington

I FINALLY TALKED Harley into letting me do a photo session with he and his housemates. Photographed in the back garden of his residence. Lake Chelan and the surrounding landscape blanketed in snow in the background.





Many thanks to Rob and Karla!

More Mally Girl

WE WERE SADDENED to see Mally go back home on Saturday night, but her parent's were so happy to bring her home. Once again our home is as quite as a mouse. Which makes me wonder why don't we go straight to the Seattle Humane Society and bring home a lonely four-legged friend for adoption?! Soon our home will not be so quiet any more. Soon.













These two captures below are from Mally's home in Kirkland.

What the Doctor Ordered

MALLY IS A RECENT canine rescue from the Seattle Humane Society. Our friends were kind enough to ask us to watch her while they vacation in a warmer climate. We gladly accepted and have been enjoying every minute of Mally's visit. She is such a lovable, sweet and silly girl to have around our home. We have decided if our friends want to stay in their warm tropical holiday environment for a long time we will gladly and cheerfully take care of Mally, no questions asked. We might even pay them to stay on holiday long enough until our wet and cold weather disappears!






This Stuffing Tastes Awful!

Starbucks

Some of my fine art canine photography will be hanging at the Starbucks
at University Village in Seattle for the month of November. If you would
like to view my work over a cup-of-joe, it's the smaller Starbucks across
from the Apple store parking lot.

Giants at Glacier National Park

This sister and brother duo (Shekiah on left and Teak on right) were inseparable. I spotted these two giant Malamutes and their owners upstream from me along McDonald creek and knew I had to investigate. They were as gentle as a breeze, and the sweetest and friendliest Malamutes I've come across. They seemed right at home in the wilderness of Montana, but were probably wishing for a few feet of snow.






There's really no size reference here but Teak weighs in a 150 pounds.
