  Good catch Slo!  I bet the dark brindle one on the right can really be intimidating if needs must, but as in most cases, they are probably the best cuddlers!  :)

Kevin's snow play picture reminds me of one of mine from years ago, friends' Mastiffs:

Nice, I like how the snow just fades to white like a backdrop.

Leia in the woods

Our cat likes joining my wife and I for walks outside, where she follows us around like a dog. She's happy to hang outside by herself too. Fortunately the apartment complex in which we live here in South Bend, Indiana has a wooded area. When she is running at top speed, it's not easy to photograph her! Until I saw her in the snow, I didn't appreciate how effective her camouflage was. She's from Tajikistan, which is a small country north of Afghanistan.

LOVE those action shots! Cute kitty too. I used to have a cat that would do this with us and our dog. Cats are so funny.

Yes, the principle is called 'counter-shading' and is employed by military camouflagers all the time!
We have a cat that has a similar fur coat to your beauty, but we live in a place that is sub-tropical, yet that cat can also disappear in plain sight in our garden full of deep green tropical shrubbery...

She was out skiing with me. :)

 Well guys, the time is getting closer to the arrival of our new elkhound puppy. It looks to be either late March or early April. In the meantime, the breeder has sent along a shot of the one that will be ours. It's a male and will be called Ralphie (After The Kid In A Christmas Story)

Damon, the shots of your cat are just outstanding!! Very well seen and captured.



 And here's a shot of the litter, I imagine it's well nigh impossible to get a shot where they are all standing still :)

Very exciting about your puppy! They sure are cute!

Here's Luna and Frida who are getting along much better than they used to. We think Frida came from kind of a rough situation before we adopted her so she was a little reluctant to trust Luna for a couple of months. Now they hang out, play, and sometimes even nap together. Pretty sweet!

Thanks and thanks for the book comment too. She's very photogenic and pretty fun to do stuff with.

Here's a shot with Luna that I wish I had taken from a little lower angle or Luna was a little farther back so she would stand out against the water. But I still like it. She saw me setting up a shot and decided to strike a pose just in case. I couldn't resist!

 Well, here's a link to a short video we got from the breeder last night. An entire litter of about 8 week old Norwegian Elkhound puppies playing. One will be coming to live with us very soon!!

Not my pet, but a great model, nevertheless.
I think, I posted one of the images before in another thread, but can't find it now
