Fun at Fox Hill

I started my weekend early and headed up to Ottawa last Thursday to visit Kim and Pete (Laureate Shelties). It's about a 6 1/2 hour drive but one that I enjoy and try to make once or twice a year, or as our schedules allow. I always look forward to visiting my good friends and their wonderful hospitality, and one of the high points, providing the weather cooperates, is an outing with the dogs across the huge open fields at the back of their 50 acre property.


We went out a couple of times this weekend, not only to enjoy the stellar weather, but for both Kim and I to do some shooting (cameras, of course!). The dogs are awesome subjects, either at rest or going full tilt across the fields. Kim and I took turns shooting with our own lenses of choice and then switched off, taking the adults out on one day and the pups another. It was great fun and a super photography opportunity.

Watching ...




And stalking ...

Full steam ahead!




And more full throttle action ...










One last jump for joy!
