Running free

Cold weather - very cold in the mornings -9.2C today - I think that's the coldest I've ever known here.

So it was afternoon when i took the crazy puppy dog out for a run. Here she is, racing towards me with the sunlight low to the horizon. The shadows are long, but the dog makes an excellent contrast to the snow. Too much so sometimes as the exposures are tricky to get right with such contrast.

She's lost a few baby teeth today - which seems to have made her crazier than normal, I found her on the sofa at one point, and I don't mean curled up on the cushion - I mean standing on the back headrest of the sofa, slipper in mouth!
