*Mountains, snow, and two crazy pups* <PICS>

Well I've spent the entire night (it's currently 4:00 a.m. :o ) going through all of my photos that I took while Kay and Kiara were here. There's 191 photos in the album but that's only a fraction of the pics. Believe it or not I did go through each and every picture to pick out a "few" favorites lol.

I can't post them all in this thread so I really hope you guys will take the time to look through my album. CLICK HERE to visit the album. If you aren't a member of imagestation then use this ID: pet_talk and password: pets to log in.

Ok on with the pics.......These first ones were taken yesterday (Saturday) when it finally snowed in the valley

These were taken Wednesday and Friday I think. We went up one of the canyons Wednesday to find snow and only found a tiny bit so we went up again Friday and found some more...

These are pics from a trip to the dog park. You husky lovers should like these. At one point there were *at least* 10 huskies and malamutes there. Too bad we didn't have a sled to hook them all up to! ;)
A lab, Kiara, and Nebo
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...c/f61b7ff7.jpg
There were 4 red huskies there (including Nebo)...the other 3 were all siblings. Try looking through these pics and figuring out which dog is Nebo. :p
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...5/f61b769e.jpg
Besides the 4 red I believe there were 2 mostly white and the rest were either gray/white or black/white. It was nice because my dog wasn't the only one "talking" lol...usually I get dirty looks because Nebo growls a lot when he plays.

Okay , a few things here ---

1) Fab pictures!

2) When photo shoots go wrong?? Noooo... that is so cute with them all snuggling together.

3) Is Nebo the one sniffing another dog's butt? heehee.

4) I love talking dogs! When I had Smokey in puppy class the instructer used to kinda scold us when he'd talk (even tho everyone else thought it was adorable). Now I can't imagine if I'd trained him not to express himself vocally. It's not only hilarious but comes in handy. For example, his "let's play" and "I have to potty" speeches are distinctive. Very helpful. And when we're outside the difference between his happy growl and his nervous/potentially aggressive growl is distinctive, too. If I didn't know the diff early on it could be confusing and dangerous.


Anyway - it looks like you all had an awesome visit. Thanks for sharing.

What AWESOME pictures!! A 5-star thread! :D I loved all of them, and will come back later to check out the album, too!

It looks like you two had soooooooooo much FUN!

Yay, great photos Amy. It looks like both humans and pups had a wonderfull week, what fun. I love all the phoos that you posted and am off to check out the album.

I cannot wait to see Kays photos aswell.

:D

Fantastic pictures!!! The photoshoot with them sleeping is priceless!!! :D

Wonderful, wonderful pictures!!!! I loved them all and can't wait to go check out the album. Such beautiful doggies and awesome scenery. I can't even pick out a favorite. They are all wonderful. Those Christmas pics with them all sleeping are simply to cute. I would have loved to have seen all those huskies at the dog park. Wow, Husky Heaven for me...lol. Tori would have fit right in with the red ones and all that talking :p

I don't know if you and Kay had fun but it sure does look like the pups did! ;) :p I truly wish I could have been there too!!! Thank you so much for sharing all the pics. I'm off to check out the album and oohhhh and awwwww some more!

Hugs to you, Nebo, Reggie and Sidney......Robin :)

Great pictures, Amy!! Lookslike you guys had a blast!! All the pictures you post of utah are so gorgeous!

I would love to make it out there one day...maybe someday I'll have amonths vacation (yeah right!) and I could drive through Texas to see my sis, the Pters there, on to Az to visit my cousins, through Utah to see you, and up to Oregon to see Ralph's brother...and of course, all the other PTers along the way....what a great vacation that would be!!!

Well I haven't looked at the album yet, but from what I see here it should be terrific! It really sounds like you two had a wonderful time together and so did the dogs:)
I have to agree with everyone else and say those "photo shoots gone bad" are just too cute!!!

Wish I could have been there too!

Off to see the rest of the pictures!

*edit* just got done looking at the pictures and they were all fabulous! I felt just like I was there!!!

Amy, in the album there is a couple pics of a sculpture. Is that a Chihuly? I went to see an exhibit of his and loved it!

Robin :)

Awesome pictures!!! It looks like you all had a blast.
I love the sleepy Christmas photo shoot.:)

this picture looks like sand, not snow. (I guess I've been in Florida too long)

My mouth was just hanging open looking at your pictures!!:p Not only because of the beautiful dogs, but the scenery!!!! Words cannot describe how gorgeous it is! Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics, now I'm off to look at the album!:)

Amazing pics!!!!!
I have looked through them 3 times so far. I just love them all soooooooo much and it brought back memories of when I lived in British Columbia and saw all the mountains. It looks like you all had so much fun, especially the fur kids.:D
The sleeping santa pics were so addorable, just pawfect. I'm waiting to see more pics on here and will visit the album later today. Thanks for all the great pics.:D :D :D

Hugs....Deb, Monty and Kiki:)

Ok, I loved them all! And more then once I have to admit I said Aww out loud and got some odd looks.

Wonderful pics! I can't wait to see Kay's!

Ashley

GORGEOUS pictures Amy! I really enjoyed everyone of them:D Looks like Kay and you had a great time:D I couldn't even begin to choose a favourite, they're all wonderful!

:)
:)

BEAUTIFUL Pictures, Amy!!!!!! :D

Granted you had Beautiful SUBJECTS, and Scenery;
but your SKILL as a Photographer is AWESOME!!

W;)W!!

what great pics Amy!!!
looks like a great time was had by all!! :D

Awesome pics!!! Looks like you had a great week! What fun! Nebo and Kiara seem to be enjoying themselves. Doesn't seem like you have too much snow though. Was this the first snow of the season? I can't get over your landscape! I *have to* see Utah with my own eyes someday. Beautiful!

Wow! What great pics. Too many to list a favorite, though. I think that would be the Christmas ones. I also like the 4 of them together in the Thanksgiving one. Looks like you all had a great time.

Wonderful pictures! You two had so much fun!

Omg GREAT photos!! I really really enjoyed seeing them! What great views! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time, I'm on my way to see the album. The picture of them snuggling for the photoshoot is *adorable* Thanks a bunch for sharing, cant wait to see more:p :D

WOW! :D Awesome - both the scenery and the doggies! Nebo's always handsome in his pics, but in this setting he looks spectacular!! It is sooo beautiful out there! I love the ones of "catching snowballs" - amazing photos. Kiara is such a cutie! And all those sleepy pups snuggled up - truly adorable!
Wish we were there, too! I'll check out your whole album next-

What great pictures! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. The scenery and the dogs are beautiful and the sleeping photo shoot definitely did not go wrong - how adorable!

Thanks for the comments everyone!! :D

Yes those sculpture pics in the album are Chihuly's work. I really like his work as well, I watched a movie about how they do it in an art class and it was really interesting.

And yes there definitely wasn't much snow...there has been some snow off and on in the mountains before but that was the first snow in the valley. Snow was rather hard to find, I wish there would have been more.

I'm not sure why Kay hasn't posted her pics yet.....Kay you need to post them! I have the link to her album but I think she should post it herself. :p

after reading the thread I went to the album to see the Chihuly's - nice! I saw an installation of his in the Franklin conservatory (old victorian greenhouse) in Columbus Ohio last year-fabulous work!
Wow, I admire your skill as a pet photographer - great shots! I can't seem to get mine to sit still long enough for me to get it together for a nice in-focus shot (really bad cause my camera is auto-focus). Thanks for sharing! Nebo is really a handsome husky, and little Kiara is such a doll! It's so beautiful where you live!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f61b769b.jpg
OMG!!So many huskies in one place all together.. LOL.. I could only dream about it here :D

BTW those are really great photos :) Nebo and Kiara both look awesome :) I´m glad you guys had great time together :)
