Blacktailin' It

Today was a beautiful day here in Eagle River.  I pulled myself out of my pajamas and headed to the mountains.  Sadly, my hiking friend was toiling away at work so I had to strike out alone.  I did have my faithful furry companions though.  There was significantly less snow then my last hike (thankfully!) and amazing views.  Here is a little peek of the beauty that surrounds us.

I was about 10 feet from these guys before I noticed them.  They blend well!  At least I got some good pictures before the release of the hounds. 

I live in the most amazing place.
