Icey was the first to be photographed, and though most times she is super easy to capture for attention and focus, today she was more interested in eating the snow. Sometimes I forget how long her tongue is!

Next was Mick. Typically he's not a fan of the camera so I expected it would be hard to get his attention. Completely correct. I snapped a bunch of shots, but only a couple worked out as he had the same motive to eat the snow as Icey.

Axle was the last one of the gang to be photographed, and the most attentive of the bunch, though he was pretty focused on looking and smelling around vs looking at me making weird noises.
We moved to a different area with "ruins" of concrete forms and other random traffic stop items, where Axle hopped into a electrical box thing for some shots. Up against the concrete forms he was very very focused at something to the side and behind me. Icey was in the car and the window was down. Mick is notorious for jumping out of the back window and soon I could hear his tags as he came trotting to where Axle and I were. At least it got Axle's attention for some shots!
Not the best shoot, but it was nice to be able to get out and about with my dogs for a bit. Mick and Axle did manage to spook up a rabbit too, though luckily they didn't see it so there was no chase. I need to remember to bring treats for more focus from all three dogs! Can't wait to revisit this site for the collar shoot! Also hoping I have a new lens to test out by then!

Prior to going out and about I did stair shots of the dogs. The stairs that lead from my front door into my apartment (I'm in the upstairs of a house) have a window that lets in a lot of light about a quarter of the way up the stairs. I've been wanting to shoot some pictures using the natural light and today I did!
