More dog/beach/forest pics

[summer_jackel]

I know, I just put some of these up yesterday. Here's some more! October is my favorite month of the year. It just feels so good to be outside.

This morning, I went hiking in the Willow Creek park woods and then to the beach. It was windy and deserted. The AmGen professional 8-day bicycle stage race was going through, so I got to see some of the best cyclists in the world flash by my home roads. They are so beautiful and inspiring. Some of the local racers weren't half bad, either.

I went home and pedaled trainer for 4 hours afterwards. Fantastic day.







The seedling was 6 months on the first and is sprouting in pretty ways.


My beautiful pack. Jezzie in a play bow!




She has such dignity.




I think this is the most visually interesting one of the lot.

Wow. Your elderly wolf-hybrid's the last of the pack I'd have expected to playbow. The shameless flop-and-sun pose, though, I'd have been expecting much more!

I think you ought to start showing Chaos some old Lassie episodes. Training videos, you see, in Noble Colliehood.

These are absolutely gorgeous photos, but I love the first one the most. It sums up so much about you.

Thank you. I'm glad you think so. :)

Aw that first one is a great pic of you and your dogs :)

Thanks! I like the way it turned out. :)

These are gorgeous... Your photography skills have me envious.

Thank you! I think that most of these are actually a little overexposed, but I'm learning.

A play bow and a "flopped over sun on the belly" moment from Jez?! AMAZING. ;)

Although all of your pack are wonderful.

hehehe...Jez loves rolling around in the sand, exposing her belly, so much. It is her favorite beach thing. The play bow is quite a bit rarer...none of my wolves would ever play with the shelties; they knew it wasn't worth it. She is just starting to make overtures at Chaos, which warms my heart; it was so sad seeing her try to play with Pryde, and him and I having to tell her off. She was so confused.

Chaos isn't sure, but he is starting to play with her back, although I don't think a collie will ever play nearly as rough as a wolf. She plays with the neighbor's rott, which is adorable. (The large-breed males have always made her swoon. Jez is actually quite ridiculous). She seems to really enjoy Chaos, which makes me very happy indeed.

You have a beautiful pack!

Thank you!

Beautiful photos--you look so serene, if sad, but at peace. And, of course, your pack adores you. :)

Thank you. You see us clearly. :)
