In the photo a day for life effort I failed to consider how the shortened daylight would add a new challenge. We often leave for our morning walk in the dark. When we get back it is light out and may have a little bit of playtime in the yard before I head off to work. I'm usually back from work after dark. This leaves very little time to capture a photo of Nico.
And just like that the snow is gone. Nico's ball may be deflated but his spirit is not. We are enjoying 1st spring before 2nd winter arrives. The weather in the Adirondacks will always keep you on your toes.
Yesterday was a missed opportunity to go skiing at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center. Nico and I made up for it this morning before all the snow began to melt away. He did very well, although I had a hard time fumbling around with a camera over my shoulder, ski poles, and the e-collar handheld. The highlight for both Nico and I was going down a few small hills and having him run right beside me. This shot was taken while skiing down a hill, crouching to get more on Nico's level, and turning to shoot to my side. Skiing is a great way to capture action shots of dogs. I absolutely love skiing with a dog as they run along, you can tell it just fills their soul.
