As the last step in my testing of a new 200 F2.8L, I took Sundance out for a walk on Rowdy's Trail along Shingle Creek. Sundance has walked the Trail before but always on lead. Today, I let him walk it the way Rowdy did, off lead but always close enough to come to me on command. He was awesome. It seemed as if he knew this was his chance to prove he was trustworthy and he did so in spades.

At a clearing overlooking the wooded area, I asked Sundance to sit and stay. And, remarkably, he did. And he stayed while I took 10 frames while holding a Milk Bone in my left hand to get his eyes to follow. Just the way Rowdy used to do it . So, here are his updated portraits: one with his mouth closed and one with it open. But check out that bokeh. Is that not creamy?





Enjoy.
