A few photos of Raven from my hike

I took Raven out to Glacial Park near here yesterday for a morning hike. It was so beautiful. I wanted to let her run a bit without worrying and take some photos so I just brought her. I took a ton of pictures and a few of her that I really love that I thought I'd post here.

Thanks for looking, the rest from my walk are here: http://k9soul.myphotoalbum.com/view_...album20&page=1

Nothing too exciting, but it was a beautiful day.

Raven looks beautiful in the scenery pictures. What great shots you got! I love this picture. I always wonder what dogs see when you catch them like that. I am sure it is quite different from what we see!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Raven looks like she had a blast at the park! Great pictures with a gorgeous subject and environment.

There is beautiful, happy Raven! (wishing I could reach through my monitor to give Raven a big hug) It looks like you had a lovely time!

I always love seeing pictures of Raven, She is such a stunner!

Looks to me she may have a bit of setter/pointer in her. ;)

My favorite is her standing in the water looking at the camera. Great picture of a gorgeous dog enjoying what they do best.

Wow! Great pictures!
I love the on of her in a point. She's such a smart little girl! ;)Beautiful too!

I love this one.......Are you coming mom??

Great photos. Raven looks so happy with all that space to run in. Good looking dog, and her name suits her to a T.

She really is a gorgeous girl. Is that place fenced at all, by any chance? How far away from the city would you say it is?

Great pictures. It looks like a great place for Raven to run around and
she sure looks like she enjoyed it a lot. Maggie told me to ask Raven how
she keeps her svelte figure.:D

What a beautiful place! And what a beauty your Raven is! I hope you both had a great day.:)

She is glorious. Just look at that shiny coat. It is so wonderful to see her living a fantastic, healthy life.

Thank you for sharing her with us.

Those are all so stunning!

She is such a pretty girl. And she has gotten the chance to have so many wonderful adventures.

She's really a sight for sore eyes. Stunning!!! Great pictures of her. I can't pick a favorite. I love all of them!!:)

Raven is such a doll and takes beautiful photographs ;) She must be the best company on a hike :D

Raven is so elegant looking and gorgeous! :D I just love her and the enviroment you guys were in. :)

I don't think she has pointer but I know some labs point and she does have lab. Although really she seems mostly to pause while walking and sniffing and lift her head up with her paw still raised and watching. In that picture she was watching another dog walking with someone far off.

It's not fenced but it's large and really wide open. It's kinda ruralish, close to where I live but not too far from McHenry and Woodstock, IL. Not close to any really big cities.

LOL, Raven is just a livewire! Go go go! She does not trot or walk anywhere when she can run at top speed. I know labs can be prone to heaviness but she must have a lean breed in the mix.

She's wonderful. She is always careful to keep me in sight and comes running when I call. She's certainly a joy to watch.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments on my sweet happy girl. She had a blast and I had a constant smile on my face watching her.

By the way, love the multiple quote feature!

WOW it is uncanny how much Raven reminds me of Ivy. That first picture looks like I'm standing right behind my own dog. And, of course, if Raven reminds me of Ivy, then Raven MUST be gorgeous ;) Just kidding - she is a real black beauty, though.

Those are really cool photos. I love the ones with Raven running toward you. It's like I can hear music in the background when I look at them...like Born Free or something.

Raven is such a gorgeous dog! That looks like a great place to hike too! :)

I think that every time I see Ivy ;). As I mentioned to you before I am highly suspicious Raven has dobe in her. In certain lighting I can see a faint face mask, eyebrow, and leg markings. I was also reading at a dobe board about common behavior quirks of which she has quite a few.

Thanks so much again for all your kind comments everyone, they make my heart swell! :love:

Looks like Raven had a good time on the hike.She liked the cool time she had in the water,felt good from the hiking.

You already know what I think. Love that Black Beauty of yours! I really enjoyed looking through all the photos. I love scenery shots. Looks like you two had a really nice hike and I'm glad you were able to capture it for us. I wish I could have been there with you.:)

I saw this one and I swear, the words out of my mouth were "Oh, wow!" I just love this one! All of them are really good, though. I think this one should be printed and framed. I can't explain why I like it so but I do. I'm so glad to see these! You have such a beautiful hiking area. I would love to be there.

Looks like a fun hiking trip. Why didn't we get invited to the fun? haha! Raven is a beauty.

Looks like I missed these the first time around, but I'm glad someone brought it back up. Raven is such a gorgeous girl, and those are some very nice pictures!

Love this first one and the second one...well lets just say if you lived here with me in Florida, this would be the "Oh S**T" face "I think I saw a gator!!" Looks like it was a marvelous day and I bet she had a blast just running free and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Great pictures!
