So cute! ....it has been below 20 here in the deep south too! brrr

12/10/2010 5:29:54 AM

You certainly built up a rapport with them. Looks like they were sitting for a family portrait. Great stuff!
.....
Can we see one of you in your Churchill cold weather gear?

12/10/2010 5:45:08 AM

How precious is this? I just love it and you captured it so well. They sure posed for you didn't they? What a treat this must have been. You must be having a heat wave up there because it has been about 2 degrees here and with the windchill close to minus 10. :)

12/10/2010 6:30:18 AM

Oh, the expressions and poses are perfect, Karen. At least they're enjoying this cold weather. Just took Bailey, our Golden, out for a walk in the snow, and bbbbrrrrrrrr!!!!! It's cold out there.

12/10/2010 6:54:56 AM

They just keep getting better , WOW... TERRIFIC !!!
Right about now they are out hunting seals on the Ice
and PLUMPING UP ...

Your right about our temps today WAY TOO COLD....

Happy Shooting
Jack
