Polar Dog Walk

 The call of the woods?

Walking the dog has been a real issue at our house this winter with the temperatures often double degree below zero (with wind chill.) This morning I decided to take it on as a winter sport.

The proper attire is very important. Here I am suiting up: jeans and T shirt, sweater, ski pant overalls, fleece hoodie, TWO layers of gloves (key!), ski mask, faux fur-lined boots. Self photography limits the view I can offer.

 Parka on top. Notice the blue, pre-dawn light in the window.

 Here is Lucy suiting up.

Dawn through the trees

Amazing contrast.

 Happy Dog.

Fresh snow goes a long way towards making the cold bearable and even beautiful. With the proper gear, it is a treat to be outside. Such a lovely way to bring in the day. 

 

Lucy agrees.
