It's hard for me to get photos of Nico sitting or standing still. As soon as I get low to take a photo of him at his level (one of my top tips for good dog photos) he runs toward me. I've been using a 500mm lens while at camp to photograph birds. This also allows me to sneak shots of Nico from quite a ways away without him noticing me. This morning he was sitting among the tall grasses a few feet away from Shelly as she was looking at birds through a spotting scope. He is slowly starting to figure out our routines and how to just hang while we are doing outdoor activities.
With Tropical Storm Isiasis rolling through Lake Champlain today we have been spending the entire day inside. Nico has been loving the ability to lay on the couch at will, a liberty he does not enjoy at home. This afternoon he decided to tell me how thankful he is for Khyber's blanket and that it isn't for humans, therefore I have to get permission to sit on the couch with him.
