Mysterium walks up out of a shallow arroyo while grazing with her family. Such a gorgeous girl.

Happy Memorial Day. To paraphrase a quote I’ve seen: Have fun on this holiday, and remember the sacrifices of those who made it possible.

Family portrait: Seven, Puzzle, Tesora and Shadow in the east pocket.

While I was busy with the camera, my assistant was working the squeaky toy and the reflectors to get just the right light on our subjects.

Other than Tesora sticking out her tongue, as youngsters are wont to do, my assistant did a pretty good job with lighting and ears, don’t you think?

Thanks, Ma Nature. 🙂

Kwana eating greasewood; Winona behind him.

Kwana, 9 months old, still has blue eyes. Here, he’s feasting on scrumptious greasewood with “auntie” Winona behind him. Even with grass all around, they do love the greasewood.

Or an apricot!

Kootenai

But that just doesn’t have the same ring to it for sweet girl Kootenai. Lovely.
