Moonlight Mushing...2pics

I love full moons! The dogs and I went Moonlight Mushing tonight. I'm not sure what it is about running at night, but the dogs love it! They were a hardworking little team tonight! Probably our fastest run of the year on this particular trail(15km). These pictures are unedited except for resizing. Taken with my Stylus 800 on the "available light" setting. I love that setting! It is the most frequently used pre-set mode on my camera!

On the way home, taking in the night while we crossed the lake. The dogs were Sundin-Paxil, Ozzy-Pacer, Chase-Franklin. The little red lights are LED collars. They don't actually help us see where we are going, but they help snowmobilers see us coming!

The blurry thing in front of the team is Mac. Mac discovered he could get over the fence again tonight. Must move some snow away from the fenceline in one spot! I haven't let him run loose with us for awhile. He was a very good boy and did not freak me out by disappearing into the forest!

If it stays clear all week, I may not take any daylight runs!

As I sit here in my boring room, in my boring city, surfing the net... Here you go again, making me jealous!

That is so neat that you're able to do that at night. Silly Mac!

I couldn't have said it better. What an amazing experience that must be! I really get a kick out of the led collars, I'm not sure why.

Is that Mac in front of the sled in the first picture?

What beautiful pictures! You take trips that most of us can only dream about. I love being outside in the snow at night. It is so quiet and peaceful. It must be doubly so in such a region as where you live.

I have a little red light thingie on Ripley's collar. It blinks when he moves so that I can see him at night in the back yard. I have to smile when it stops blinking as he nears a tree because I know what he has stopped to do. :o :D

Good boy for sticking close by but how about not sneaking out of the yard again! ;)

Yes, that's Mac in front of the sled. Daisy was around too. I think he was looking for her. They had a good game of chase while we were crossing the lake.
