If there’s anything I love more than walking and taking pictures, it’s walking with dogs and taking pictures. Frieda is pretty reliable off leash now, and these four are a pleasure to walk with. They check out every sight, sound and smell. They stay close. They love the camera. Walks with dogs are healing, loving, refreshing of the human spirit, which can grow weary of the short-sighted and difficult ways of humans. Being with these creatures somehow makes me better.
