THIS is why you should talk to your dogs, even if you think they don't understand you! 😁

We sometimes let our dogs choose the direction at trail intersections when we don't have a specific route in mind. Zeena in particular seems to perk up when we say "Zeena, which way?" and she gets to choose.

A bit of the sights and sounds of water tumbling over the rock wall, and the mossy bits of plant life nourished by it.

Yesterday we drove down to Nerstrand State Park for a change of scenery. For all the cars in the parking lot, the falls were surprisingly empty! We had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a lone person quietly sketching the scene off to the side […]

[Original post on mountains.social]
Husky Zeena stands on the edge of a waterfall, looking out over the water below. The falls are a wide straight shelf of rock with a straight vertical drop to a pool below. With water levels low, there are only a couple of spots where water cascades over. The hardwood forest on the other side is largely bare of leaves, which have collected on the edge of the stream and pond in a reddish-brown carpet. A hint of green moss covers the shady face of the falls cliff at the near end. Hikers Jeff and Tonttu approach the pool below the falls in the first photo from below. We're still looking at the falls edge-on, seeing more of the large rectangular slab of rock over which the water tumbles, in a couple of veil-like cascades. Zeena has now descended to the bottom of the falls too. She's sniffing under a bit of rocky overhang, which glistens with a thin sheet of water flowing over it, which then breaks apart into a series of streams to the sandy pool below. A larger bit of veil-like cascade falls onto a low stone behind her.

An overly busy week at work has kept me from posting, but we did get out for a couple of nice hikes as fall colors continue their transition to winter austerity.

Here's Tonttu investigating something in the tall Bluegrass prairie at the north end of Afton State Park.

#Huskies #Prairie #Bluegrass
A wide expanse of tall, reddish-beige bluegrass prairie grass covers most of the scene, with low hills and distant trees on the horizon. In the foreground, a husky is head-first into the grass, only his big, white curly tail an hind end standing out, the rest of him disappearing into the grass.

Enjoying a slow, lazy start to our Saturday.

#Huskies
Tonttu, a large wolfish husky lies on a human bed with early morning light coming in from the right. His head is lifted slightly, enough for his jaw to open wide in a big yawn, with his tongue spilling out like a big pink playground slide. The sunlight passes through Venetian blinds, making a bold diagonal striped pattern across the dog, bed and wooden headboard behind, which intersect the light in narrow vertical slats.

Kaltag asking for treats last week! No chocolate for dogs please. #FursuitFriday
Kaltag, a tan and brown chinook husky dog (as seen in the movie Balto) begs for treats at a doorstep. He holds a bag bearing his name. The drop bag is from an Iditarod race, a musher team sends these ahead for resupplying, this one for the town of Kaltag Alaska. Kaltag begging on the patio. His bag is empty! Kaltag holding out his bag for you! Treats plz? Okay Kaltag is just playing with the bag now, over his head!

I need someone to take my dogs through one of these courses so I can live vicariously through them and not, instead, try to do it myself and win the “most fibromyalgia to ever flare up in one person” award.

Still life with huskies

#Huskies #Photography #Chiaroscuro
A black and white photo of Tonttu lying on his back on the people bed as early morning light starts to filter through the Venetian blinds behind, lighting his belly and paws in stark chiaroscuro. His hind legs are closest to the viewer, splayed out in a dramatic diagonal, one down to the left and the other up to the right. Past his shining white belly one paw stretches out towards the far end of the bed and the other drapes across his chest.

You find the damnedest things going back through old files, including 20-year-old convention publications. 1drv.ms/b/c/ca4ea801...

This was pre-Yelp, etc., so hopefully it was a useful resource. I hadn't quite hit peak snarkiness when writing the reviews, but I did have some fun with it.

One of my friends is making fun mushing shirts but needs 10 preorders before they can move forward with it. The material is very soft and sizes seem to be a little on the larger size.
The human usually wears a medium but will be getting a small.

Today was a nice sunny late-fall day for a quick hike around Whitetail Woods!

We had the pups on flexi leads to give them plenty of room for exploring and pouncing!

Zeena did a bit of cute pronking through the tall grass on the lookout for mouses, which of course we failed to get on video!
Two huskies on long flexi leads explore prairie grass to the left side of a mowed hiking trail that curves to the right. Trees on the far horizon are interrupted by a narrow stand of tall evergreens on the right. The sun is low but bright, casting long shadows even at mid day. A bank of puffy clouds cuts diagonally across the left side of the blue sky. The trio of huskies and hiker continue down the prairie path, fuzzy out of focus behind a patch of fuzzy in-focus milkweed pods that are exploding and releasing their fluffy seedpods to the wind. Solo husky Zeena leads the way down a wide boardwalk across a wetland towards hills beyond. The walkway bends slightly to the left, the curves abruptly out of view to the right. Zeena looks back over her shoulder with a big happy grin on her face. The photographer has turned his camera behind him to capture husky Tonttu leading Jeff towards them, out of dark woods and onto the same wooden boardwalk as in the previous photo. The camera is at a slight angle, tipping the boardwalk down to the right.

The low late-autumn sun made the fuzzy seedpods of various post-flowering plants glow and sparkle on the prairie!
A split scene with reddish grasses on the left and a wide, green mowed path on the right, curving off screen to the right before meeting up with a stand of low trees. Huskies and a hiker proceed down the path, out of focus, while the red grass in the foreground sparkles with light hitting small tufts emerging from along each stalk. A reddish swath of prairie grass, growing higher than the top of the photo, contains a cluster of post-flowering plants goon to seed. Fluffy pussy-willow-like clusters angle off of either side of the plant stalks, and glow in the bright sun coming from off to the left.

Dog-owner home decorating!

Tonttu knocked over the floor lamp in our living room. The shade had already been cracked by a previous canine mishap. This time it shattered.

@ordercollie.com got creative with a dog cone for a temporary replacement!

#Huskies #InteriorDecoration #RepairReuseRecycle
A living room with a mid-century brick fireplace and a couple of wildlife prints on the walls hosts a floor lamp with a narrow cone made of a couple layers of translucent material. It's putting out a warm light.

Good freeze overnight, so the leaves are really coming down now. We got Zeena and Tonttu out for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the colors while they last.
Wolfish Alaskan husky Tonttu, with icy blue eyes, trots towards the camera for his closeup, tongue dangling out the side of his muzzle. He's in front of the same red maple trees in full autumn splendor as Zeena in the other photo, a rosy pile of leaves scattered on the ground below. Husky Zeena pauses amid a grassy verge covered in red autumn leaves, looking back at the camera lit by low, late-afternoon autumn sun. Red maple trees above, mostly in shadow, create a dark backdrop to the brightly lit husky. The leaves on the ground are a mix of deep red, when sunny side up, or pale pink when the backside is showing.
