When I say "come," she comes by

We were out for a walk in a pasture at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains west of Victor, Montana USA. We were working on some commands and getting our exercise. Freda was ranging a bit far out so I called her back in to me. Wow, she sprinted! Snow is flying.

I took the photo on the Aperture setting and hit the “auto” develop button in Lightroom. This was the result. Crazy eyes and color. I liked it so here it is.

    And sometimes I have to call mine two or three times, but they all seem to enjoy playing in the snow. Great capture.

  • Yes, and the snow helps keep their coats clean and fresh. Thanks Bryan.
