Zeena had a good day yesterday. We all did! It was a clear, breezy day up on Rattlesnake Bluff of Frontenac State Park, Minnesota. In this photo, a deer had recently leaped across the prairie ahead of us. The grass was so tall that only the humans could […] [Original post on mountains.social]

A husky in an orange walking harness stands partly into a field of tallgrass prairie, with a blue sky beyond. She gazes into the bright fall sun, mouth open in a doggy smile, eyes bright, sniffing the air for something interesting.

Stay on target!...

Close-up crop of the first photo in the previous post, focusing on Zeena, the Siberian husky, with a bright, overexposed band of pure white light draped across the top of her muzzle, with her brown and blue eyes the only detail visible. She is intently focused on something before her, out of screen to the right.

Of course, the most important reason for hiking at William O'Brien State Park is the trip afterwards to get burgers, root beer, and sweet potato fries at the Drive In at Taylor's Falls! #Huskies DogsOfMastodon

Two huskies in the middle seat of a car sit with focused attention at an orange sweet potato fry that is being held by the driver on the right, while the passenger on the left takes a selfie of the whole group. A bright shaft of light from the sunlight cuts across the left husky's muzzle and eyes, and the ears of the one on the right.
The same huskies and humans from the previous photo, but in this one, the husky on the right has got the fry, which is balanced on the tip of his tongue for a moment as he proceeds to devour it.
Again, the two huskies focused on food. This time the driver is holding the fry at the very tip of the nose of the left husky, who is straining up towards it. Meanwhile, the husky on the right is peering intently down at something on the armrest between the front passengers.

Zeena, caught mid-shake, and/or mid-transformation into an opossum, it would seem!

A husky stands on the muddy bank between a beaver pond and tall grass, her head dotted in sunlight coming through the thick trees above. She's caught mid-shake, blurring her ears and he eye appearing larger and unnaturally white-rimmed.

Some more picturesque shots that the camera didn't completely fail to disappoint with.

A landscape composition of horizontal bands. The lower half is a prairie foreground in deep shade, but tall grass topped with fuzzy seed heads shine in the low light. Reddish grass beyond forms even horizontal rows of maroon and beige where the rising sunlight over the trees causes the farthest grass to shine. Above that, on the horizon, green deciduous trees rise in front of a cloudless blue sky.
A cluster of yellow daisies with dark centers sits in a bright beam of sunlight surrounded by grasses and other plants in the dark shade of the trees above and out of sight. Tall slender grasses with fuzzy seed heads at the tip stand all around, some also shining in sunlight, bending slightly to the left and right.

One nice thing about shorter days of fall is that it's easier to get up for a hike in the early light or morning! We headed out to William O'Brien State Park, Minnesota, today. Weather was great, if a bit warm by noon. We caught the dew on the prairie at […] [Original post on mountains.social]

A happy husky in bright morning sunlight, eyes slightly squinted shut and tongue hanging out, leads a hiker in a sun hat and with his phone attached to the top of a walking stick down a trail mowed in a prairie. On the horizon, a hill of trees rises below cloudless blue sky.
A bunch of grass with white caterpillar-like flower heads gleams in a ray of light passing through a line of trees on the side of a prairie. A trail is mowed in the prairie grass in the shade of the trees, where a husky investigates interesting scents on the side of the trail.
A fluffy Siberian husky wades happily in a small body of water in the shade of trees. Through a gap beyond, a wide opening can be seen, with trees in bright sunlight on the far side.

Zeena and Tonttu of course were loving all of it! This is the new highlight of their week.

Huskies Zeena and Tonttu approach the camera obliquely, but with authority, heading slightly to the left, across a shady suburban lawn. Elderly white husky Daisy monitors the situation in the background.
Tonttu heads alertly and with great focus towards something behind and to the left of the viewer. He is caught in a bright sun beam, front left paw up, tail curled over his back, ears and eyes alert on what is ahead.
Tonttu is set upon by a trio of other huskies. He's lying on his side, muzzle pointed upwards, mouth open, showcasing an inverted arch of white teeth on the inside of his upper muzzle. It might look vicious, but it's husky play, and Tonttu loves it!

Daisy, the white elder of the group, was happy to remind the world of her existence and authority over the situation. Archie, the reddish lovable ball of fluff, enjoyed playing with dogs and humans alike.

Huskies run about in a green backyard, while one white husky up close on the right vocalizes emphatically at the camera.
Huskies investigate a shady back yard near a garden shed, while one elderly white husky in the foreground, rimmed in bright morning sun backlight, points her nose to the sky in a canine vocalization.
A pair of huskies, white and red markings each, approach the camera. The white husky is alert, and slightly cautious, while the red husky has his eyes closed and tongue out in a happy, content expression. They're both backlit in the morning sun.
Two huskies one red and one white with black and gray accents, run across a brightly-lit yard, making a turn towards the camera.

Charlie was his usual fluffy, feathery handsome self!

A feathery husky, mostly black with white legs, tail and other accents, runs, open mouthed and tongue out in a content grin from left to right, side eye at the camera.
Another of charlie, in full sun, prancing towards the camera, one white leg daintily reaching out as he steps forward, white fluff of curled tail opposite his dark body. His face is accented by one brown eye on the left, one icy blue eye on the right. Black ears point up alertly.
